I've worked on a Django project locally and everything was working fine.

I deployed it on EC2 Ubuntu instance alongwith Apache2 and it is giving a server error 500. I've tried with gunicorn nginx as well, still no joy.

So as a context, I'm using Django4, Python3, Apache2 alongwith;

1. AWS RDS for postgres DB
2. AWS S3 for static files (Both are working fine in dev and prod mode locally).

I've also added my EC2 IP address to ALLOWED_HOSTS and still the same (also getting same error if I allowed everything by *).

Note: I've all my credentials in .env file.

Somehow the Django application isn't providing access.

I actually want to get an SSL from CertBot and assign my purchased .dev domain.

I'm actually stuck here for past couple of days, gone though several blogs but not able to get this resolved.

Any suggestions would be of massive help.

Thanks.

CodePudding user response：

I've identified the problem and it is FIXED now, finally after more than 2 days.

It was nothing, the apache or the django wasn't populating values from my .env file. It was like the .env file doesn't exit.

I replaced every value directly to settings.py and it worked.

I'll now have to see how I could define my sensitive credentials away from settings.py

Thanks.

Try to add in the virtual host

WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}
