I am trying to run python manage.py runserver and till today I never faced any issues. Whenever I run python manage.py runserver I get this-

$ python manage.py runserver
Performing system checks...

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

I looked for solutions and found out that in the settings.py file I should change WSGI_APPLICATION = 'application' to WSGI_APPLICATION = 'wsgi.application' but it was already so in my settings.py file.

Based on the error it looks like you have an entry of simply 'blog' in your MIDDLEWARE settings. Django middleware requires a path to a class so 'blog' is not a valid value.

That's based on these lines from your traceback:

middleware = import_string(middleware_path)
File "/home/user/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/utils/module_loading.py", line 15, in import_string
raise ImportError("%s doesn't look like a module path" % dotted_path) from err
ImportError: blog doesn't look like a module path

Thanks a lot! I actually had to put 'blog' in Apps, not in Middleware!

Django's server needs to find your application as defined in wsgi.py, so you need to set `WSGI_APPLICATION = '<project-name>.wsgi.application'.

See the docs at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/howto/deployment/wsgi/

which state:

WSGI servers obtain the path to the application callable from their configuration. Django’s built-in server, namely the runserver command, reads it from the WSGI_APPLICATION setting. By default, it’s set to <project_name>.wsgi.application, which points to the application callable in <project_name>/wsgi.py.
