Have you done this? https://docs.netbox.dev/en/stable/installation/3-netbox/#configuration

[elmundo78]

yes, that's the one I followed, with all the steps

[markkuleinio]

The error message shows that it cannot find configuration.py. What other reasons can you find in your environment, why that file could not be imported? Is the symbolic link (/opt/netbox) set up correctly?
