Gunicorn, no module named ‘myproject

by

Your error message is 

ImportError: No module named 'myproject.wsgi'

You ran the app with

gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:8000 myproject.wsgi:application

And wsgi.py has the line

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

This is the disconnect. In order to recognize the project as myproject.wsgi the parent directory would have to be on the python path… running 

cd .. && gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:8000 myproject.wsgi:application

Would eliminate that error. However, you would then get a different error because the wsgi.py file refers to settings instead of myproject.settings. This implies that the app was intended to be run from the root directory instead of one directory up. You can figure this out for sure by looking at the code- if it uses absolute imports, do they usually say from myproject.app import ... or from app import .... If that guess is correct, your correct commmand is

gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:8000 wsgi:application

If the app does use myproject in all of the paths, you’ll have to modify your PYTHONPATH to run it properly…

PYTHONPATH=`pwd`/.. gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:8000 myproject.wsgi:application
