title: Django: app with label XYZ could not be found. Are you sure your INSTALLED_APPS setting is correct?
body: <p>I'm trying to follow the Django tutorial (for v1.1) <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.1/intro/tutorial01/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>. the problem that I'm running into is that it won't recognize my sample test app. For instance, I'm working in /home/user1234/rst . I can successfully run the server from there and create an app. However, if I create app "xyz" and then append 'rst.xyz' to my installed_apps list in settings.py, it doesn't seem to work. I get the following error message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error: App with label xyz could not be found. Are you sure your INSTALLED_APPS setting is correct?
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I do see that there <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2614358/apps-with-lable-xyz-could-not-be-found">Near duplicate question</a>, but the suggestions didn't seem to help.</p>
  
  <p>My settings.py file includes:</p>
  
  <pre><code>INSTALLED_APPS = ( 
  'django.contrib.auth',
  'django.contrib.contenttypes',
  'django.contrib.sessions',
  'django.contrib.sites',
  'rst.xyz',
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>)</p>
  
  <p>I have confirmed that mysql is running and that I can connect to the database. I am also running postresql and apache on the same machine (I'm not sure if that would cause an error). </p>
  
  <p>Also, this might help:</p>
  
  <pre><code> python -c "import sys; print sys.path"
   ['', '/usr/lib/python2.6', '/usr/lib/python2.6/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-old', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6', '/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/gtk-2.0', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode', '/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages']
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them!</p>
