I use Django 1.6.5 with settings in my program txsite: DEBUG = true I set the lie to debug, but when I get the runner , I get the following error: CommandError: You have to set the settings. OLOWOWHESTS If DEBUG is False I ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['127.0.0.1', 'localhost'] but I get the same error. Does anyone know this address? Try ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*'] Less secure If you are not on a firewall or public LAN, but what I use and it works. Edit: Interestingly enough, I have to add some of my 1.8 projects, even if DEBUG = True . Why so very uncertain
