I want to create a Django app from user input. Here is my code.
def createAppname(name):
split_name = name.split(" ")
s = "".join(i[0:] for i in split_name)
return s
def formFields(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
app_name = request.POST.get('app')
new_name=createAppname(app_name)
from django.core.management import call_command
call_command('startapp', new_name)
return render(request,'forms_new.html')
return render(request, 'forms_new.html')
The code works perfectly when I am executing in the development environment. But after deploying on the production server, here I'm using apache_mod_wsgi, I get the following error.
Traceback (most recent call last):

Please help me out here. Thanks.
