Deploying django to AWS beanstalk , where to pip install during pipelines?

Question

Hi ,

Facing a problem while deploying django to beanstalk with python 3.4 .

Beanstalk env and instance all been setup with pipeline yml.

But according to EB cli , can't find a way to install django.

Requirement.txt included in documents but can't be imported.Because there's no django module. So the http server can't been connect.

Here's the error log description , hope this may help

[ImportError: No module named 'django'

mod_wsgi : Target WSGI script '/opt/python/current/app/ebdjango/ebdjango/wsgi.py' cannot be loaded as Python module.

mod_wsgi : Exception occurred processing WSGI script '/opt/python/current/app/ebdjango/ebdjango/wsgi.py'.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/python/current/app/ebdjango/ebdjango/wsgi.py", line 12, in <module>
 from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application

ImportError: No module named 'django'

Thanks for your watching and teaching.

Hi @Lava Kumar Dukanam _Appfire_

Thanks for your assist,

we found out that it takes some steps to deploy on AWS beanstalk

First of all , add

- pip install django==1.11.16

in the pipeline.yml

and also add a requirement.txt undeer your repo root branches with the exact requirement you need so that pipeline will install it.

Django==1.11.16
pytz==2018.7
mysql-connector-python==8.0.6

Hope these may help who also meets the same problem.

Many thanks to you.

Hi @hiprprogrammer,

There are couple of reasons this can fail.

Make sure your wsgi module python version is correct.

You can manually try to install it using

pip3 install Django

and then to confirm its installation try

pip freeze

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks,

Lava
