The documentation is kind of light on this and I ran into problems with "environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is undefined"

The reason you get that error is that the settings.py file is not on on the python path when the script is executed.

There is a sample job file askbot/cron/askbot_cron_job, where PYTHONPATH is modified.

I've relabeled your post as "bug" because the deployment command must ideally configure those jobs automatically.

Thanks I ended up using the following: """PROJECT_PARENT_DIR=/var/www export PYTHONPATH=$PROJECT_PARENT_DIR:$PYTHONPATH #these are actual commands that are to be run python $PROJECT_PARENT_DIR/manage.py send_email_alerts """ tfoote ( 2011-02-24 16:37:28 -0500 )edit

good. the reason the comment formatting is off is that the two $ signs initiate mathjax rendering. I think if you back-slash escape them the problem should go away. Otherwise, there is no easy fix at this time. Evgeny ( 2011-02-24 16:42:26 -0500 )edit
