Deploying Django Project

[topgeardavid]

How can I deploy my Django project to Tommy: https://github.com/davidbgeek/drEdsby?
What I've done is I've just renamed my wsgi.py to dispatch.wsgi. Not sure what else I'm supposed to do.

Any suggestions?

Have you read http://wiki.helionet.org/Django#Getting_started_with_Django_1.10 ?

[topgeardavid]

I have. I keep getting a 500 error. Is there a way for me to see an error log?

[Krydos]

What is the path to the django project on Tommy?

[topgeardavid]

/home/dr/public_html/edsby

[Krydos]

Here's your error

[Fri Jun 09 20:20:12.124673 2017] [wsgi:error] [pid 1213] [client <krydos>:25350] ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'drEdsby', referer: http://edsby.drte.ch/

Here's the sample dispatch.wsgi from the wiki

import os, sys

# edit your username below
sys.path.append("/home/username_on_heliohost/public_html")

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'hello.settings'

application = get_wsgi_application()

You don't add your django app to the path so it's not going to be able to find your modules, such as drEdsby.

[topgeardavid]

Thanks; added the app to the path. What's the error now?

[Krydos]

Same error. It still can't find the drEdsby module.

[topgeardavid]

Shouldn't this be working?

import os, sys
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application

sys.path.append('/home/dr/public_html/edsby')
sys.path.append('/home/dr/public_html/edsby/drEdsby')
sys.path.append('/home/dr/public_html/edsby/webapp')

os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "drEdsby.settings")

application = get_wsgi_application()

[Krydos]

Yeah, it probably should be. The way I debug things is start really small and simple, and make sure that works. Then just keep adding small parts and making sure they all work as you add them.

 

When I was experimenting I remember having trouble with this line

os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "drEdsby.settings")

which is the way startproject command writes it. I changed it to something more like

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'drEdsby.settings'

and had better success. Does that work?

[topgeardavid]

Still having trouble, has the error changed now, perhaps?

[Krydos]

Yep, you've got a new error now:

[Sat Jun 10 04:18:38.747773 2017] [wsgi:error] [pid 26724] [client krydos:10325] RuntimeError: populate() isn't reentrant, referer: http://edsby.drte.ch/

[topgeardavid]

I've tried the solution found here, but I'm still getting the error. Any ideas why this might be happening?

[Krydos]

I read through the logs some more and found this as well

[Sat Jun 10 04:43:48.904414 2017] [wsgi:error] [pid 6587] [client krydos:10808] ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'django_jinja', referer: http://edsby.drte.ch/
