Can't start WebInterface

[1kane]

when i try to start the server with /home/pi/pipic/djpilapse/manage.py runserver 192.168.0.5:8000

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/pi/pipic/djpilapse/manage.py", line 10, in execute_from_command_line(sys.argv) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/management/init.py", line 367, in execute_from_command_line utility.execute() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/management/init.py", line 359, in execute self.fetch_command(subcommand).run_from_argv(self.argv) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 306, in run_from_argv connections.close_all() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/db/utils.py", line 229, in close_all for alias in self: File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/db/utils.py", line 223, in iter return iter(self.databases) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/utils/functional.py", line 35, in get res = instance.dict[self.name] = self.func(instance) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/db/utils.py", line 156, in databases self._databases = settings.DATABASES File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/conf/init.py", line 53, in getattr self._setup(name) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/conf/init.py", line 41, in _setup self._wrapped = Settings(settings_module) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/conf/init.py", line 111, in init raise ImproperlyConfigured("The %s setting must be a list or a tuple.

PS: it seems that i have a wrong version of django and celery installed. can u tell me what version i need? guess i have to downgrade, but what version?

I have the same issue as well. Can I expect help?

Hey, just made the TEMPLATE_DIRS a tuple, but haven't tested the interface. So not sure if you'll just hit another error. I don't have a bunch of time for this one at the moment, but I'm happy to review pull requests.

The non-web script (timelapse.py) just got a bunch of updates in December, and may be a bit less problematic.

I get a similar issue, I expect it is due to another version of django. Could you please provide the version that it worked?

My error is: ImportError: cannot import name patterns

Hello, having the same problem with the web server. But I do not mind doing everything from the command line. Would it be possible for you to add a few notes here or on the code page for this project on how to get the time lapse started from an ssh command line, or desktop (via vnc or ms Remote Desktop). I am trying to get this working on my Raspi with the new as a all sky camera.

Just running the below did not work very well.

pi@raspiHQcam2:~/pipic $ python timelapse.py Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named Image

Hi, looks like you a) don't have the Image python package, and b) are using Python 3 (which requires parentheses for print statements). This project is no longer maintained; feel free to send a pull request, though, or fork and fix.

Do you have a link for the Image python package? I had Pillow installed and was thinking that was what you were referring to or maybe PIL. So I uninstalled Pillow, as it was already installed, then tried to install PIL. That turned out to be almost impossible, at least for a guy like me of limited intellect. (it's way out of date anyway) But I was able to finish off a 12 pack, well trying to do so. In any case, it was about then as I was pondering the Norm theory on beer and brain cells that I took another look at your post and realized that I may have been moving in the wrong directing.
