@aj8uppal it's not a typo, `rsplit()` is a string method. And tuples don't have a `split()` method, either. — notbad.jpeg, Apr 10 '14 at 02:16

One of your settings in your settings.py is a tuple, or has a unnecessary trailing comma, which will turn it into a tuple and it's not supposed to be. It's supposed to be a string.

I'd start by looking at STATICFILES_STORAGE and DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE

Thank you! `STATIC_STORAGE` is not a tuple. However I am getting another error now when I run `collectstatic` – Liondancer Apr 10 '14 at 02:24
It is unrelated to this question though – Liondancer Apr 10 '14 at 02:24
If you care to take a look it is `django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: You're using the staticfiles app without having set the STATIC_ROOT setting to a filesystem path.` I am not sure what to do with my `STATIC_ROOT` as I am learning Django =/ – Liondancer Apr 10 '14 at 02:25

Thanks in my case I had a trailing comma – Praneeth Aug 01 '15 at 23:46

"One of your settings in your settings.py is a tuple... and it's not supposed to be." This saved me today. – mRotten Sep 22 '19 at 23:59
Very useful to me. i terminated my MIDDLEWARE Settings option with 3 dots and a comma, and so i had to remove it and things went back to normal – vially Apr 20 '22 at 08:07

I have the same issue.

After I copied from django restframework documentation the following settings:

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework_simplejwt.authentication.JWTAuthentication',
        (...)
    ),
}

into my project. Then I removed (...) in above mentioned settings, it works now. Plz be careful copying the code ))

While the correct would be:

    REST_FRAMEWORK = {
        'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
'rest_framework_simplejwt.authentication.JWTAuthentication',
        ),
    }

The (...), in this scenario, means "whatever code you have" add before it.

I had this error when using djoser for authentication in Django Rest Framework. Just change

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework_simplejwt.authentication.JWTAuthentication',
        (...)
    ),
}

to

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework_simplejwt.authentication.JWTAuthentication',
     
    ),
}
