Is anyone there to help me out. I m not able to run django site hosted on Johnny server.

It is only giving directory list when i browse the site. There is not errors as well in the logs.

Not sure why the site is not working at all.

Krydos is the only one who knows anything about Django. Very few people here use it. Normally I'd suggest trying to get the example on this page to work, but I'm not sure if it's still relevant since it was for an old version of Django: https://wiki.helionet.org/tutorials/django

 

500 error is usually something simple though, .htaccess syntax errors or a bad shebang line are fairly common. Note that you have to use this path to python in your shebang line in order for Django to work on Johnny:

/usr/bin/python3.7 

Plain /usr/bin/python won't work, nor will the env tool (points to wrong version of Python)

I followed that one as well didn't work for me.

I updated my previous post for some common issues, but you may need to wait for Krydos to figure this out.

 

EDIT: Looking at manage.py, you're using /usr/bin/env, which does not work here since it points to the wrong version of Python (2.7, which doesn't support Django). You need to specifically use /usr/bin/python3.7

Now, i m not getting internal server error. but the site is showing only the directory listing.

 

will try where can i add the line. in which file it would be.?

Krydos will need to answer that. I don't know Django. I looked at your .py files and don't see any other than manage.py that have a shebang line, but then, Django works differently too so it may not even have one like a normal .py script that I'd use in cgi-bin...

i m newbie for django not sure what i have to change to make it work.

There aren't even any files at /home/nakssoft/public_html/
