I have an issue that I been trying to solve for a while. I am creating my first Django app by following instructions from a site. I am currently working on accessing the admin page, but it has not been working. In addition, I am getting an error of "A server error occurred. Please contact the administrator" when I run the local server. This was not happening before I tried access the django admin page. The error callback's last line is:
AttributeError: 'Settings' object has no attribute 'ROOT_URLCONF'
The full callback is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/wsgiref/handlers.py", line 85, in run
self.result = application(self.environ, self.start_response)

I have really been trying to solve this on my own and get the local server running error-free, but at this point I realize that I may need some help. I would appreciate any solutions that you can offer me. I am using django 1.4.1 and python 2.7.3. I'm using the python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8080 command to start the server.
Many thanks...
