Attempting to start a uwsgi server and getting TASK_RUNNER errors

[githubforw0rk]

I have been attempting to start a uwsgi server with a uwsgi.ini configuration file. Everything seems fine up until it tries to import settings. uwsgi says TASK_RUNNER isn't defined. Apparently the django lazy loader is looking for a settings file in biostar.conf.run. There are none there so this seems like a natural error. There are numerous settings.py files in there and I am trying to get forum to run. I tried copying the settings.py file from the forum application into conf/run but this gave the same error. I started looking at init.py and the line:

settings_module = os.environ.get(ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE)

This ENVIROMENT_VARIABLE is 'none' when the server is started. This seems like a weird name for an actual user environmental variable. Does this need to be set? django docs contain no info about ENVIORNMENT_VARIABLE. the following is the uwsgi log:

figured it out. It was a typo when doing export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=biostar.forum.settings.
