"Settings file" is unclear in modpython docs.

[anonymous]

Hello,

On this page:
​http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/modpython/
You write:
"…and replace mysite.settings with the Python path to your settings file."

Could you please clarify? What is the "settings file"? settings.py? From where?
I'm installing Kforge on a ubuntu server.

Many thanks,

Thomas

Yes, the settings file is settings.py, and your PYTHONPATH is an environment setting that tells python where to find packages. Can you please direct questions like this to the django-users or django-developers mailing lists? thanks.

Looking over django-users, this appears to be confusing a number of users. The attached patch clarifies this a bit.

Simon, a better wording might be "replace mysite.settings with the Python path to your Django project's settings file".

Of course, then we may run into problems with the phrase "Python path", but we'll deal with that when we get there...

good idea, here's a new patch.

We're using the phrase "Python import path" in most other places for a dotted string like this, so let's use that here, too. No need for a new patch, I'm about to commit this. Merely explaining the way my tiny, twisted mind works.
