Probkem in Django with runserver command

Question

I started a project in django and everything was okay, but i closed my project and fews days later i tried to reopen, but this error appeared when i put the command "django-admin runserver" :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\users\moren\appdata\local\programs\python\python37-32\lib\runpy.py", line 193, in _run_module_as_main
    "__main__", mod_spec)

    % (desc, ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE))
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting DEBUG, but settings are not configured. You must either define the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings.

And when i put "python manage.py runserver" this appear :

c:\users\moren\appdata\local\programs\python\python37-32\python.exe: can't open file 'manage.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

if anyone can help me I would be very grateful

Does this answer your question?

You need to cd into your project and run the command again, so in short the command python manage.py runserver should be executed where the module "manage.py" is located.
