How to fix RSS feeds in OSQA?

Question

When trying to access the RSS link in my Windows installation of OSQA, the error log shows the following error:

In Windows, I created the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=mysite.settings but this returns an error indicating it could not import the settings - Is it on sys.apth?

My OSQA installation is in C:inetpub\wwwroot\osqa\osqa.community.site (the dir name has periods in it).

How can I get this working?

Thanks

Current OSQA version created for using with old version Django (1.3) You need to make fixes for work with current version (1.5.4 right now). Or check it out some forks on github, like this mine. https://github.com/8c1/OSQA
