title: Django SECRET KEY environmental variable not working in Elastic Beanstalk
body: <p>In my settings.py I have <code>SECRET_KEY = os.environ.get('SETTINGS_SECRET_KEY')</code></p>
  
  <p>In my Elastic Beanstalk environmental variables I have:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SETTINGS_SECRET_KEY = 'my_secret_key'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I don't set up an alternative, i.e., </p>
  
  <pre><code>SECRET_KEY = os.environ.get('SETTINGS_SECRET_KEY', 'abcde')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>then my app doesn't run and I get an error saying that the SECRET_KEY cannot be empty.  </p>
  
  <p>It works in localhost with my SETTINGS_SECRET_KEY in .bashrc</p>
