Django and aws elastic beanstalk

[mat...@vogcalgaryappdeveloper.com]

Hi, I’ve been directed to you for technical support regarding Django. I can get it working on my own computer running on the provided local server however when I follow any tutorial to host it on elastic beanstalk I get one of two of the following errors:

        “ERROR: your requirements.txt is invalid.”

        “ERROR: WSGIPath refers to a file that does not exist.”

 

I’ve tried everything I can think of but nothing seems to work.

I look forward to hearing back from you and hope that you can help me with this.

For requirements.txt, you have to run

pip freeze > requirements.txt

For the second error, you have to run

eb config

Then change WSGIPath to point to your wsgi.py file.

Im sure you already checked but make sure you also have the appropriate container commands in the .ebextensions folder, under a django.config or python.config file, what ever  you want to call it should work.  It should look similar to this:

container_commands:
  01_migrate:
    command: "python manage.py migrate"
    leader_only: true
  02_collectstatic:
    command: "python manage.py collectstatic --noinput"
  03_createsu:
    command: "python manage.py createsuperuser"
    leader_only: true

option_settings:
  "aws:elasticbeanstalk:application:environment":
    DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE: "YOURPROJECT.settings"
    PYTHONPATH: "$PYTHONPATH"
  "aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:python":
    WSGIPath: "YOURPROJECT/wsgi.py"
    StaticFiles: "/static/=www/static/"

packages:
  yum:
    postgresql95-devel: []

If you havent already read this one, this article recently helped me set up an environment:
