无法将“/usr/bin/python3”符号链接到“/home/ubuntu/my-env/bin/python3”

Question

I have Django application which is getting deployed on Code Deploy.

In logs i get an error saying 'Unable to symlink '/usr/bin/python3' to '/home/ubuntu/my-env/bin/python3'

Any clues anyone, how to fix this issue,,..?

According to your description, I guess you used the ln -s command in Linux. And you want to link /home/ubuntu/my-env/bin/python3 to /usr/bin/python3 .

When we use ln -s command, we should check if 2rd arg( /usr/bin/python3 ) exists.

So, I think the /usr/bin/python3 file in your system exists aready. You should delete it and attempt to redeploy.

# 1. enter /usr/bin
cd /usr/bin/

# 2. search python3 file
ls | grep python3

# 3. delete it 
rm -rf python3

# 4. redeploy
