@XiaotianZha You must reload uwsgi every time you update the settings.py file.

I modified the condfiguration of db to a mysql server , after reload uwsgi , there is a Internal Server Error when I access the webmail.
And there is an error log in var/spool/mail/root

"django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named MySQLdb.
Did you install mysqlclient or MySQL-python?"

I have already use the pip install mysqlclient MySQL-python, but it seems not in install into the write path

I have solved this problem after learning the python virtualenv , now it seems I need to re-built table in the new db
