After transfering a django project(working) from one server to another, when trying to run the application on the new server I face up the error:

Django version 1.11.16, using settings 'geolocator.settings'
Starting development server at http://example.example.com:2000/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.
Unhandled exception in thread started by <function wrapper at 0x7f23d7ab3668>

ImportError: No module named middleware

In settings.py :

INSTALLED_APPS = [
 'django.contrib.admin',
 'django.contrib.auth',
 'django.contrib.contenttypes',
 'django.contrib.sessions',
 'django.contrib.messages',
 'django.contrib.staticfiles',
 'intranet',
 'bootstrap3',
 'registration',
 'crispy_forms',
 'fm',
 'dal',
 'dal_select2',
 'rest_framework',
 'django_filters',
 'django_crontab',
 'request',

]


MIDDLEWARE = [
 'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware',
 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
 'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
 'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
 'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
 'request.middleware.RequestMiddleware',
 'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
 'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
]

It seems having to do with WSGI but I am not sure what exactly goes wrong.
Any suggestion?

I went to https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/http/middleware/#activating-middleware to find the official list of middlewares.

MIDDLEWARE = [
 'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware',
 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
 'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
 'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
 'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
 'request.middleware.RequestMiddleware', # <-- Remove this one.
 'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
 'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
]

request.middleware.RequestMiddleware is not supported in Django 1.11.16.
