upgrade to 0.9.2 Could not import settings '%s' (Is it on sys.path? Does it have syntax errors?

Asked by Nathanael Anderson

I just upgraded to 9.2, and am wondering if some system settings changed.

to upgrade i removed my /usr/local/graphite directory and did a fresh install and restored my storage policies, and recreated the default database entries.

I'm guessing a path changed, and I don't know where to look for the change.

Yes there was a change in the directory structure and I'm guessing you kept your previous apache config in place. The webapp code used to be in /usr/local/graphite/web/ but is now in /usr/local/graphite/webapp/web/. The new path may sound redundant but it allows me to cleanly isolate static content used by the webapp from other graphite components that are not related to the webapp. You can either use the graphite-vhost.conf created by the 0.9.2 installer, or just update your existing vhost config to have the DocumentRoot change from /usr/local/graphite/ to /usr/local/graphite/webapp/ (which is the only difference in the file created by the 0.9.2 installer).
