Does heroku app have to share the same name as django project?

Question

I'm trying to deploy an app that I started with django-admin startproject workout . Months later, it was time to deploy, workout was not an available name for heroku apps. Thus, I decided on shworkout . Now, I'm having problems with the deployment. Take a look at this traceback:

The lines

File "/app/.heroku/python/lib/python3.6/site-packages/gunicorn/app/wsgiapp.py", line 52, in load_wsgiapp
2018-01-15T13:50:52.283449+00:00 app[web.1]: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'shworkout'

are what catch my attention the most. My guess is this: gunicorn is looking for a wsgi.py file (it's in /workout ), but it's looking for it in the wrong place, namely, a folder called /shworkout . Such a folder doesn't exist in my project. shworkout is only a name for my app on heroku .

So, is this a correct explanation? What to do about it then? And if I'm wrong, what is really going on here?

Procfile :

web: gunicorn shworkout.wsgi --log-file -

Should I change shworkout to workout ?

wsgi.py :

import os

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application

os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "workout.settings.production")

application = get_wsgi_application()

Answer 1

I was using a faulty Procfile. Changed from:

web: gunicorn shworkout.wsgi --log-file -

to

web: gunicorn workout.wsgi --log-file -

Explanation:

the Procfile should point to the location of the wsgi.py file, which is in /workout , not in /shworkout .
