How to fix Django "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'application'" on AWS?

I am trying to redeploy a Django web application on AWS. My elastic beanstalk environment has been red a couple of times. When I ran eb logs on the cli, I am getting a "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'application' error". I think this has got to do with my wsgi configuration.

I have deployed this web app on AWS before. I messed up when I tried deploying a new version then decided to just start over. Here is my wsgi.py configuration:

```import os

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
from django.contrib.staticfiles.handlers import StaticFilesHandler

os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "mysite.settings")

application = StaticFilesHandler(get_wsgi_application())```

When I deploy the app, it's giving me a 502: Bad gateway error. Let me know if you would like more info on the issue. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Solution

  • I faced this issue as well. In my case I was getting a 502 nginx error after deploying to AWS EB using eb deploy and my environment had a red flag.

    My AWS EB was using Amazon Linux 2 AMI, everything was set correctly BUT after lot of tries and errors I realized my .ebextensions folder was named .ebtextensions.

    I wish EB or django would have indicated on its logs that my folder was nanmed incorrectly.
