Errors

Fixing the SITE_ID Error in Django If you're encountering a SITE_ID error, it usually means the site ID isn't properly set in your Django settings. Here's how to resolve it:

Find the Correct SITE_ID:

Go to the Django admin interface:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/.

Under the Sites section, find your site and note the ID in the URL, e.g.,

http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/sites/site/15/change/ 

here, 15 is the SITE_ID. Update settings.py:

In your settings.py, set the correct SITE_ID:

SITE_ID = 15

Restart the Server: Save the changes and restart your Django development server:

python manage.py runserver
