# WSGI_APPLICATION = 'myproject.wsgi.application'
ASGI_APPLICATION = 'asgi.application'
Note how the WSGI example also has the project name? I suspect you need to include projectname in the setting, eg,
ASGI_APPLICATION = 'projectname.asgi.application'
The channels docs seems to support this format (https://channels.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation.html)

So can anyone let me know what I can do to get rid of this error and get the CSS onto the website?

You should get advantage of a tool such as WhiteNoise to setup the Django static files configuration for production. I think you are using Heroku, for this reason I just attached here a sample configuration for the Django settings.py file that should work for you.
PS: remind that Django doesn't handle your static files anymore when you set DEBUG=False
import os
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
# and here the rest of your settings
# ...
# Static files configuration
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles')
STATIC_URL = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static/')
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
)
STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',
)
# ...
# Loading test/prod settings based on ENV settings
ENV = os.environ.get('ENV')
# Add this part to the production environment only
# (Heroku in this case) with DEBUG=False:
try:
from .production_settings import *

AUTH_USER_MODEL = "accounts.User"

To open a python terminal with the Django environment set run
python manage.py shell
Then, for example, a new user can be created with the create_user() helper function:
>>> from django.contrib.auth.models import User
>>> user = User.objects.create_user('john', 'lennon#thebeatles.com', 'johnpassword')
# At this point, user is a User object that has already been saved
# to the database. You can continue to change its attributes
# if you want to change other fields.
>>> user.last_name = 'Lennon'
>>> user.save()
The example code below shows how to add a user from a script. Note that you need to replace 'project.settings' on line 2 with your project name.
project.setting points at your project file where installed apps, middleware, templates, etc are specified.
import os
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE','project.settings')
import django
django.setup()
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
super_user = User.objects.create_user(username = 'john',
first_name = 'John',
last_name = 'Doe',
email = 'john.doe#mail.com',
password = 'test',
is_staff = True,
is_superuser=True
)
More information in the documentation docs.djangoproject.com

On setting:
wsgi.py
Check if it is pointing to the right setting path:
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "path/to/settings.py")

Try out the following:
As mentioned in the above answer, ensure that the following line is present in wsgi.py
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "/path/to/settings.py")
Ensure that above path is correct or the mentioned settings file in above line is the actual settings file.
Since you are using Pycharm, the above error could because cause of some issue with the Pycharm environment variable. Try python manage.py flush.
If the issue still persists, have a look at the environment configuration in the Pycharm settings and check for any discrepancy.

Django exception on server start up - module not found

I have searched online for other solutions with little luck. Posting here is a last resort.
Everything was working well with my Django project. Then suddenly it stopped running the server as it used to. I'm not sure at all what I have done wrong.
The issue is persistent across all of the git branches (it wasn't like this before) - making it even more confusing as the problem is not isolated to my branch only.
Here is the error traceback:
WARNINGS:
?: (1_7.W001) MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES is not set.
HINT: Django 1.7 changed the global defaults for the MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES. django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware, django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware, and django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware were removed from the defaults. If your project needs these middleware then you should configure this setting.

Any ideas/suggestions are welcome.
Just to reiterate. This came out of the blue. No idea what caused it.
Thank you.

It came out because something changed in your project and a migration now fails.
In the error log you can see
File "C:\Users\ASUS\PycharmProjects\5CCS2SEG_Major\connect_therapy\migrations\0021_auto_20180313_1946.py", line 4, in <module>
import django.contrib.auth.base_user
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'django.contrib.auth.base_user'
What that migration does? Is still valid or the project is changed and the migration try to load resources that are not anymore available?
If you run python manage.py shell are you able to import from 'django.contrib.auth.base_user'? The problem seems to be in that migration

The 'solution' at the end was to just make a new virtual environment. For some reason the old one messed up.

not able to run manage.py runserver

Below is the problem i am facing while running the server.

Your error traceback clearly states that your SECRET_KEY is empty

Generate a new one, you can use this

save this in secret_key.py file, and do python secret_key.py, it will generate you a new SECRET KEY, then just copy new SECRET_KEY inside you're settings.py file.
