Django, Ubuntu-server, Nginx, Gunicorn Server Error 500 - django

Question

The issue I am having currently is that after I have launched my project with Gunicorn and do a symbolical link to Nginx’s sites-available to sites-enabled directory, followed with the shell command ... sudo service nginx reload … I’m given an error page html that says “ Server Error 500” when I attempt to connect locally and the project isn’t even talking to the outside world seeing as my domain is a blank canvas. I’m at a lost as to whether this error lies in my Nginx, Gunicorn, or Django. Any help, tips or good criticism will be gladly welcomed.
Project specifics:
This is being lauched off a small pc I built at home as a way to test the waters for different web ideas I have, by testing their potential locally first I can decide as to whether or not they're valuable.
