I have recently set up a web server, which currently hosts a couple of static page websites, and two django projects.
the two django projects are 'abc' and 'xyz' and are in separate directories respectively, in the home folder. Each have their own wsgi script which points to their respective settings.py file.
Recently though, I have been noticing a few 500 errors on 'xyz'. Usually a refresh will correct the problem, but this isn't acceptable, so I checked the apache error.log, and noticed that sometimes when I hit 'xyz' there is an exception raised about cannot find abc.settings in the xyz project. Somehow these two projects are crossing over and interfering with each other. I have not worked on abc enough yet to know if the problem is the same the other way around. Below is my exception.
