Settings.py returning ModuleNotFound error on app that exists

Question

I am relatively new to Django and trying to create a simple app to enable a user to signup and login

However when I try to runserver to test what I currently have I run into this error message:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'signup.app'

This is the structure of my project

peerprogrammingplat

--- peerprogrammingplat

--- signup

this is my installed apps in my settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'signup.app.SignupConfig',
]

my views.py

from .models import *
def register(response):
    form = UserCreationForm()
    return render(response, "signup/register.html", {"form":form})

urls.py

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('register/', signupv.register, name="register"),
]

Answer 1

you give the value in name in your ModelNameConfig. in your apps.py in your app, you ll have something as following.

from django.apps import AppConfig


class SignUpConfig(AppConfig):
    name = "signup" # this name value is given in your settings.py in INSTALLED_APP list.

something link

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'signup',
]
