django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting RQ_SHOW_ADMIN_LINK, but settings are not configured. You must either define the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings. about django-rq HOT 2 OPEN

The error seems to arise due to the order of imports and possibly when settings are accessed during the import of modules.

I had the same issue.

just make sure wherever you guys are using:
import os

make sure to load the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE on the next line
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', '<your-folder-name>.settings')

This is especially important in entry-point scripts like asgi.py or wsgi.py.

for better clarity I have attached my asgi.py file for the order of import

import os

os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'backend.settings')

from django.core.asgi import get_asgi_application
from channels.auth import AuthMiddlewareStack
from channels.routing import ProtocolTypeRouter, URLRouter
from users.routing import websocket_urlpatterns

application = ProtocolTypeRouter({
    "http": get_asgi_application(),
    "websocket": AuthMiddlewareStack(
        URLRouter(
            websocket_urlpatterns
        )
    ),
})
