I've been trying for several days now to set up Django under Amazon Web Services' Elastic Beanstalk. I think the problem I'm hitting is this one:
ERROR - Your WSGIPath refers to a file that does not exist.
I followed the tutorial here and all goes well until the end of Step 6, but I can't for the life of me get anything to display other than the generic Elastic Beanstalk page from Step 5, #2. When I run
./manage.py runserver
on my local machine, everything works as it should, but I can't get that page to deploy. I first tried with a small Django site I wrote myself. It didn't work, so I deleted everything I'd done and tried again, that didn't work, so I deleted all that and tried again with a fresh django install. I tried that a bunch of times fiddling with little things, but I think I'm missing something major.
I added a python.config file as described in this tutorial.
Here's my file structure:
-.git/
-.mysite/
-myapp/
-__init__.py
-models.py
-tests.py
-views.py
-mysite/
-__init__.py
-settings.py
-urls.py
-wsgi.py
-.ebextensions/
-python.config
-manage.py
-mysite.db
-requirements.txt
From my settings.py:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
'NAME': 'mysite.db',
'USER': '',
'PASSWORD': '',
'HOST': '',
'PORT': '',
}
}
Here's python.config:
container_commands: 01_syncdb:
command: "django-admin.py syncdb --noinput"
leader_only: true
option_settings:
- namespace: aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:python
option_name: WSGIPath
value: mysite/wsgi.py
- option_name: DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE
value: mysite.settings
- option_name: AWS_SECRET_KEY
value: <This is my secret key>
- option_name: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
value: <This is my access key>
Is there another place I need to define my WSGIPath? Is there a way to do it through the AWS console? Should I just skip EB altogether and use EC2 directly?

The ".ebextensions" directory must be in the root level directory of your application, but from the log output, the directory is instead in the "mysite/.ebextensions" directory. So for example, after following the django tutorial in the docs when you run "git aws.push" your root directory would look like this:
.
├── .ebextensions
│ └── python.config
├── .elasticbeanstalk
│ ├── config
├── .git
├── .gitignore
├── manage.py
├── mysite
│ ├── __init__.py
│ ├── settings.py
│ ├── urls.py
│ └── wsgi.py
└── requirements.txt
Instead of this:
.
└── mysite
├── .ebextensions
├── .elasticbeanstalk
├── .git
├── .gitignore
├── manage.py
├── mysite
└── requirements.txt
