Can't deploy to Heroku in DjangoGirls tutorial

Question

I am following this DjangoGirls tutorial: http://tutorial.djangogirls.org/en/deploy/README.html

When I try and open my app's /admin page, since the tutorial states:

"Since we only created the admin view for the app so far, add admin/ to the url (eg https://djangogirlsblog.herokuapp.com/admin/ ) to see a working page of our web app."

I still get the following browser message:

Application Error An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. Please try again in a few moments.

If you are the application owner, check your logs for details.

This is my project layout:

djangogirls
|--mysite/
  |--blog/
  |--db.sqlite3
  |----manage.py
  |----mysite/
|--myvenv/
|--Procfile
|--requirements.txt
|--runtime.txt
|--.gitignore

These are the contents of .gitignore:

myvenv
__pycache__
staticfiles
local_settings.py
db.sqlite3
*.py[co]
*.pyc

These are the contents of my mysite/wsgi.py

import os

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application

os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "mysite.settings")

application = get_wsgi_application()

from whitenoise.django import DjangoWhiteNoise
application = DjangoWhiteNoise(application)

These are the contents of Procfile are

web: gunicorn djangogirls.wsgi

The tutorial tells us to copy out mysite.wsgi, but I saw in another post that it should be the project_name.wsgi, so I changed this.

runtime.txt: python-2.7.6

requirements.txt:

dj-database-url==0.3.0
Django==1.8
gunicorn==19.3.0
whitenoise==1.0.6
psycopg2==2.5.4

I know this is a long post and I apologize for that in advance, I want to provide more information rather than not enough, and I do not entirely understand what are the important things I should be looking at in this situation!

This is my heroku logs:

It seems like this is one of the tougher stages of the tutorial, and I just can't seem to figure out what this error means exactly... Thanks in advance to anyone who can help, I really appreciate it!

Answer 1

If you project folder inside the root then you have to give exact path so gunicorn will server better ..:)

like web: gunicorn --pythonpath app app.wsgi

for more info pythonpath

Answer 2

The problem is in your Procfile. The instructions say to do:

web: gunicorn mysite.wsgi

but you have put "djangogirls" instead of "mysite". As you explained in the comments, your project is actually called "mysite", and "djangogirls" is simply the name of the containing folder.
