Django heroku app successfully deployed but still showing an internal server error, Log files show t-CodePudding

I am trying to deploy my Django application on Heroku but although the logs show that the build is successful and despite successful deployment the application still shows an internal server error; and this is true with debug set to either true or false. Here are the files that I think are important( also I am using the cloudinary api for this project and I am not sure if that would be the problem; anyway I still decided to include my configuration of the same herein):

My Procfile:

    web gunicorn MkusdaRegister.wsgi --log-file -

    https://mkusda-events.herokuapp.com/ deployed to Heroku
    Starting November 28th, 2022, free Heroku Dynos, free Heroku Postgres, and free 
    Heroku Data for Redis® will no longer be available.
    If you have apps using any of these resources, you must upgrade to paid plans by 
    this date to ensure your apps continue to run and to retain your data. For 
    students, we will announce a new program by the end of September. Learn more at

If anyone needs to see anymore of my code then just let me know; I'd really use help on this one.

CodePudding user response：

I finally figured out the issue, I had connected my heroku app to a github repository where one of my apps folder was missing some folder and files; so if by any chance you run into any problem of this kind in the future and your build is successful please try to check if you have any missing files and also remember to check your server logs, thankyou so much -Chris for suggesting that I check my logs. Happy Coding :)

CodePudding user response：

In urls.py file you have mentioned media root path but actually it's not defined in your settings.py file.

You can defined as mentioned below.

Base url to serve media files
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
# Path where media is stored
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media/')
