    django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting DATABASES, but settings are not configured. You must either define the environment va
    riable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings.
    

All I am doing is running python manage.py syncdb or python manage.py migrate
I am trying to update the website the models created a new model an am trying
to migrate the info website works but I can not do syncdb in the console


Answer: When you create your project with `django-admin startproject` a `manage.py`
will be generated that has a line like:

    
    
    os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "my_project.settings")
    

where `my_project` is your project name. This points to your settings file.
Make sure the line exists and point to the right settings module.

Also use `manage.py` instead of `django-admin` to manage an existing project.
