I am trying to deploy a django website on an aws ec2 instance (ubuntu 18.04) following this tutorial that is consistent with other online resources. Everything is working fine but there is some issue with gunicorn. The worker doesn't seem to boot.
I figured there was something wrong with my installation and I tried uninstalling and installing with different commands-
inisde my virtualenv with
pip install gunicorn
and
sudo -H pip install gunicorn
I even physically deleted all gunicorn files and reinstalled gunicorn but its always the same. Where have I gone wrong?
p.s: I had initially done sudo apt-get
From the screenshot you attached, it seems that gunicorn is installed correctly, but perhaps you have not passed a configuration file. The command to run gunicorn with a configuration is
gunicorn -c /path/to/gunicorn.conf.py myapp.wsgi:application

I am trying to deploy my very first Django applicatin on heroku. Gunicorn gives me this error: gunicorn.errors.HaltServer: <HaltServer 'Worker failed to boot.' 3>
In this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/55623889 command gunicorn app:application --preload -b 0.0.0.0:5000 is said to give detailed error message, but as its comments state it is not clear what words to replace with what. For instance somewhere I saw something similar called with <name of my app>.wsgi. To make matter worse name of my Django app in local is different from the one on Heroku.
Also it is not clear to me should this be called strait from terminal (within virtual env) or should I be using some sort of gunicorn CLI.
So what is the actual propper way to figure out what is failing gunicorn?
I've faced similar issues in the past. I hope this might help:
Make sure gunicorn is installed in your activated virtual environment project by running pip freeze in the terminal to verify it's installation. If it is not listed, in the activated virtual environment, run pip install gunicorn or else if you are using pipenv, run pipenv install gunicorn. Don't forget to update the requirements.txt file by running pip freeze > requirements.txt
In the Procfile which is within the project_directory type the syntax:
web: gunicorn your_django_project_name.wsgi --log-file -
N.B: There should be a space between;
The --log-file and the - next to it.
web: and the gunicorn part of the code.
Finally add, commit and push the changes to the heroku server.
I'm trying to set up cron jobs in my django application on a ec2 instance(linux). Everything is working fine, I tried
python3 manage.py cron add
python3 manage.py cron show
python3 manage.py cron remove
everything works just fine
But when I start the apache server, and load the page, I'm getting 500. From the error logs I found that django_crontab module was not found. But it's still there and I've installed it in the virtual environment too (I've double checked with pip3 freeze). I also tried sudo service cron start which didn't show me anything and didn't make any difference. What could be the possible issue here?
Atleast I found the answer myslef. Freezing the pip3 modules and installing it in the server environment solved my issue. MODULE_IMPORT ERROR can be rectified by this method even if your module is not visible when installed manualy using pip3 install module-name. I hope this works for others!
My django project working fine which is deployed on ubuntu server with nginx, Gunicorn. But when I make changes in Template files, Views, Forms, Models and upload using Filezilla, No changes synchronize/ Or project is not showing made changes by me.
Can scholars and seniors help in this please.
I think this will help if you are using gunicorn sock file
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart gunicorn
sudo nginx -t && sudo systemctl restart nginx

I had started a fresh linode running ubuntu 19.04 and the first time I used the directions at:
https://www.rosehosting.com/blog/how-to-install-mezzanine-cms-on-ubuntu-18-04/
To install Mezzanine CMS it worked just fine, I could run the runserver command and see the django website. Eventually it started giving me a problem after trying 50 ways to deploy the site using apache and mod_wsgi.
I gave up and rebuilt the server and then still couldn't see the new install at the IP when I ran run server. I figured maybe it was because I accidentally installed some things using "python" and others with "python3" so I rebuilt the server.
This third time I followed the direction perfectly, the only difference is I didn't install a mysql server just kept the default SQLlite server and created a DB and Django Superuser.
I have added my ip as a host in settings.py and local_settings.py
I have already ran makemigrations and migrate
I did check to see if maybe the IP had changed when I rebuilt, it hadn't
My local environment on my laptop works fine, just not the linode
Any suggestions on anything I'm missing?
Deployment Guide
Step 1 (Installation)
Install apache2 mod_wsgi
Install virtualenv
Install virtualenv
Install Nginx for asynchronous event-driven approach to handle multiple client requests
Install mysql
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3-pip python3-dev apache2 libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3
sudo apt-get install virtualenv ufw
sudo apt-get install nginx
sudo apt-get install mysql-server libmysqlclient-dev
sudo mysql_secure_installation
Step 2 (Apache & Hostname & User)
Set hostname and add it into /etc/hosts with hostname and your Server IP
Create new user and give add to the group sudo for safety
sudo adduser username
sudo usermod -aG sudo
Enable SSH authentication for login & Edit default port of ssh in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1074034/not-able-to-change-ssh-port-on-ubuntu-18-04-1-lts
Edit /etc/apache2/site-availabledefault-000.conf for your new Django configuration
Step 3 (Firewall)
sudo ufw allow 8000
sudo ufw allow http
sudo ufw allow ssh
sudo ufw default allow outgoing
sudo ufw default deny incoming
Enable all other required port numbers
ssh sudo ufw enable
Step 4 (Django configuration)
Chown static and media forlders and edit it's permission recursively
Add allowed host in settings.py
Checkout deployment checklist in django official website and do it.
Step 5 (Please checkout)
For apache configuration please visit https://pythonprogramming.net/deploying-to-server-django-tutorial/
Edit the path given in your apache configuration (path for WSGI Script,python-path, python-home ) if any errors found like Internal server error, miss configuration etc
For reference of python-home path please refer Get virtualenv's bin folder path from script
You can also add python-path to WSGIDaemonProcess
Additionally, you can visit puttygen for public and private key generation to login through SSH
For this particular problem turned out I just needed to suddenly bind dev server to 0.0.0.0
the command to do so was
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
Rinshans answers is definetley the details for deployment, I've followed those steps just kept making some mistake in the config and wsgi scripts. I'm going to try deploying with Gunicorn or use the Fabric self-deployment tools built in to Mezzanine CMS, just haven't done so yet.
I'm trying to install gunicorn in my virtual env, but get the following:
$ pip install gunicorn
Downloading/unpacking gunicorn

Cleaning up...
And when I use python manage.py run_gunicorn for django it says that this is unknown command. I have added gunicorn to INSTALLED_APPS.
Warnings like that appear sometimes when installing apps. I believe it's related to cleanup pip tries to do, but it doesn't matter regardless. As the console output says "Successfully installed gunicorn". So no problems there.
With gunicorn installed, the only other requirement is adding gunicorn to INSTALLED_APPS. If you've done that as well, you're done. run_gunicorn will be available.
So, if it's not working, one of the following is in play:
Gunicorn isn't actually installed. However, you should get an error trying to reference in in INSTALLED_APPS in that scenario. Check your virtualenv's site-packages directory to ensure there's gunicorn folder there.
You installed Gunicorn in a different virtualenv. Again, you should be getting an error just as in #1. And, just as in #1, check to make sure it's actually in the proper virtualenv's site-packages directory
You don't have the virtualenv activated. However, same error as in #1 and #2 applies here.
You really don't have gunicorn in INSTALLED_APPS or a compiled version of settings.py is being used that doesn't have it in INSTALLED_APPS. Delete settings.pyc if it exists.
I just ran into this issue. What I did was try to run the app using runserver which led to me seeing the hostname on the server was not set(and thus can't get an IP address). Once we fixed that issue the command worked again.
It is a little misleading to see:
Unknown command: 'run_gunicorn'
Type 'manage.py help' for usage.
when the hostname is not set...confusing I know but I hope this helps someone in the future.
Did you remember to add gunicorn to your INSTALLED_APPS?
