Description

I used django git in ubuntu 16.04 and it was working perfectly fine. But after upgrading to ubuntu 18.04, it gives this error.

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Unable to load the SpatiaLite library extension "mod_spatialite"

I tried downgrading python to 3.5 but it didn't work.

I have set 

SPATIALITE_LIBRARY_PATH = 'mod_spatialite'

in settings.py

On Ubuntu 18.04, you must use SPATIALITE_LIBRARY_PATH = 'mod_spatialite.so' as per 422a403565ddb8c1866f90f1b2ce7d9157b33ce3.

Thanks a lot. We should mention this in the Docs.

The commit that I linked to is a patch that was applied to Django's documentation.
