在AWS上部署Django应用

Question

I'm quite new to python and I have developed a simple app using django which I want to deploy to aws. I followed the steps presented in [this][1]

[1]: https://code.google.com/archive/p/modwsgi/wikis/QuickConfigurationGuide.wiki link to install the same. I have installed apache and mod_wsgi. python version on aws is 2.7. The mod_wsgi that I have installed is: mod_wsgi-python27-3.2-6.11.amzn1.x86_64. I have added LoadModule directive in httpd.conf. Yet I get an error : ImportError: No module named django.core.wsgi when I hit one of the end points of my app. Any clues around what might be the issue? I have tried looking up at existing solutions for this problem but none of them seems to be fixing the issue. Is there something that I'm missing?

Answer 1

You can use many web server and app server to deploy Django app but here in this tutorial all instruction are given step by step and there is a video tutorial as well to guide through all the instruction to deploy the django app using Nginx , vritualenv , gunicorn .

Hope this is helpful for newbies.

Answer 2

Have you installed Django on the instance? It looks like Django is either not installed or is not being picked up.

If you you using a virtualenv, you'll need to add the path to it in your config file:

WSGIPythonPath /path/to/mysite.com:/path/to/your/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages

Here is some more documentation from Django and mod_wsgi that may help:

Answer 3

This is one of the most daunting tasks, especially if you want to deploy it with celery and migrations.

I suggest you use AWS Elastic Beanstalk, a managed to deploy your django app. You can use container commands to run migrations before each deployment too.

The following tutorial worked really well for me: https://www.trysudo.com/deploying-django-app-on-aws-using-elastic-beanstalk/

You can deploy with nginx and gunicorn. There is a great example to do this: How To Install and Configure Django with Postgres, Nginx, and Gunicorn

and one more: Setting up Django with Nginx, Gunicorn, virtualenv, supervisor ...

I hope this will help.
