So, I am writing a django-mongo app, using mongo for storing files as well, and using the python files mongoforms and mongoengine. Things were going well for a while, but just recently I have started to get 504 errors. I am using nginx -> apache (mod_wsgi) for non-static files.
Other (non-mongo) django apps on the same server are working, as are static html pages served up by ngnix. Also, if I turn off mongodb entirely, I get the normal django debug=True error page, so when mongo is just turned off it seems that nginx, apache, and django are all able to function.
However, with mongo in the picture I am now unable to get a response. I am able to use the command line interface to mongo, and although I'm only using the 32b version, it says that I'm only using 0.0625GB for the database in question.
So, I realize this isn't enough information to figure out what my problem is, but that's more or less what I'm looking for: where do I look next? I can connect to mongo, but not via django, although I used to be able to. I've tried commenting out virtually the entire django view, just leaving the index call which is not even asking for anything from mongo, so what I'm looking for is where do I look next? Are there any debugging techniques for mongo where I can figure out why it's taking so long to respond to django? Any other ways to debug this?
I don't expect anyone to miraculously solve my problem here but telling me what info to look for next would help as I don't have much experience debugging the django-mongo connection. It worked at one time but it has stopped working and I'm not sure where to look.

I already finished my project that I made with django, and I want to upload it. I already bought the domain, and they are about to host it for me.. once they give me the host, I just upload it and that's it? Or are there more steps to do within the code? What do I have to do?. that is, once everything is uploaded to the host, will everything be seen?
And the Admin will continue to work, when in the search engine put /admin/ ???.
that is, I wonder what are all the steps to follow so that once I host my page everything can be seen.
that is, what things would have to be configured in the congif.py, and other things.
I would appreciate a lot if you give me advice/tips/solutions..
What I know is that I have to change the debug to DEBUG=False ...
And I don't know anything else, once they pass me the port and other host information, I simply upload the files of my project to the host and that's it, nothing more? Isn't it necessary to write more code to show it?
Excuse me, I have never displayed a page
There are a lot of steps involved in deploying your code to production. I suggest you check out a guide like this to get a better idea of what you need to do in order to deploy your website. Additionally, you can run the command python manage.py check --deploy for a quick, though insufficient, review of your code to see if it is ready to be pushed to production.
Django is an excellent choice for developing basic to more advanced websites. The web framework works well in local and production environments. Just the same way the local environment server is not suitable for a production environment, there are things you need to configure before deploying your Django website. Take a look at the links below

I am serving multiple websites using nginx and gunicorn and I would like to add another one. Sadly my lack of experience is limiting me, I have some experience with webdesign but always struggle on the server side...|-( (I am using Django because of my Python preference in scientific analysis).
My problem: The new site seems to refer to the port used by another. Checking the gunicorn status I see that the site is running although nginx seems to be unable to refer to the correct Django folder. Could someone point me in the right direction? I have been looking around for the last hour or so...
(I didn't include any code for now as I am not sure where the error might lie at this point...)
Next day update: So I finally came across a post mentioning that the origin of the error might lie on the browser side. I deleted my recent history, this has fixed the error. I believe I somehow loaded a https certificate belonging to one of the other sites, this is no longer the case!
I came across the solution, it was a browser side fix. The answer is provided in an update to the original question.
I created a "landing page website" using Django, it's a very simple website for using just for showing up the data with no query sets that coming from the database it's just 3 or 4 queries.
I'm using the Nginx server for deploying and everything working properly but just the loading of the page is very very slow, I don't know where can I find the issue. I thought that the problem might become from Nginx since it has the ability to manage static files and also, I thought about maybe droplet cause such that issue.
my brain is frozen about finding the core of that problem where I can't think of where the problem may happen so, how can I accelerate my web page, and what are the reasons for that problem?
I don't know if StackOverflow is a good choice to ask such that question or not but I will be grateful for solving that problem in advance
Let me preface this by saying that my knowledge on django and web development in general is very superficial.
I was messing around with security configs on my django project, trying to make my website use https (which since then I learned is not that easy to do) but I got it into a redirect loop I believe (the website never loads). I tried to revert all my changes but couldn't get to run the website locally. After looking for answers on google in vain I decided to start the project from scratch (I had just started it anyway). But now even that doesn't work, even the Writing your first app tutorial doesn't work.
After that I reinstalled python and all the dependencies expecting that to clear every possible thing that I had changed but it didn't, still the same problem, websites never load trying to use https.
Where else could the problem in my system be?
Deleted cache and cookies and it solved the problem.
Help! I think i've gone in a bit over my head. I'm making a website for a friend who has already got a domain/hosting on the website 123reg. Keen to learn them i've been picking up python and django as i go, figured getting it online would be no problem because 123reg supports python (unspecified version).
So far i've been doing everything with the django test-server locally, i went to look into uploading it somewhere as a test and realised there's an awful lot i don't know and even with google its a bit overwhelming.
I found this link which will help me later i'm sure but right now, could someone help me understand What is Apache? I thought the server was the hardware a site was physically hosted on but i can't understand it at all now.. So i download Apache and then what? Can i just copy it into the root directory for the website on 123reg? Is their an installer? Will 123reg allow it to "run" or "serve" or whatever word's appropriate or will there be permissions issues?
And then once that's sorted there's mod_wsgi to look into, a cursory glance at the installation guide shows commands to be run, which confuses me further as i was not aware that a standard host like 123reg have any sort of inbuilt console window to be run on in which case how are you expected to execute these commands?
And another thing I didn't really think through, I'm using the built in sqlite database technology.. How will i be able to install it on my webspace? and then how will that effect my django configuration? or maybe i'll have to change to MySql v5 which 123reg says it supports?
I know these must be idiotic questions, I just wasn't sure where best to ask for help and SO has one of the most helpful and knowledgeable communities around. I did try having a google but everything was a bit overly technical for me.
You can't upload a Django site using FTP on a shared hosting provider and expect it to run. You'll need to configure it to run with their installed Apache, including configuration like mod_wsgi.
I very much doubt that 123-reg support this. You are unlikely to be able to run a Django site there. You should look for a more Django-friendly site - I recommend Webfaction.
Apache is the webserver software. It's already running on their machines. Don't try and install it lol, or they will certainly laugh at you.
To "run commands" you need to get a remote shell (console). This is typically done via Secure Shell (SSH). See this page regarding 123reg specifically: How do I connect using SSH (Putty)?
Django supports different databases, including SQLite and MySQL. SQLite is typically for small, simple databases, as the "database" is really just a local file that is manipulated by the SQLite engine. MySQL is the database of choice for many websites.
