Target WSGI script '/opt/python/current/app/ ... /wsgi.py' cannot be loaded as Python module

Question

I am trying to deploy a django app on aws beanstalk but I get a 500.

I get the ImportError and I have tried all what the web has suggested, I think, to no end.

The trace from the aws server log:

There are two config files in my django app located inside .elasticbeanstalk:

.elasticbeanstalk/**01_Packages.config**:
`packages:
  yum:
    git: []
    mysql-server: []
    mysql: []
    libjpeg-turbo-devel: []
    zlib-devel: []`

.elasticbeanstalk/**02_Python.config**:
`container_commands:
    01_migrate:
            command: "source /opt/python/run/venv/bin/activate && python src/manage.py migrate --noinput"
        leader_only: true
    02_createsu:
        command: "source /opt/python/run/venv/bin/activate && python src/manage.py createsu"
        leader_only: true
    03_collectstatic:
        command: "source /opt/python/run/venv/bin/activate && python src/manage.py collectstatic --noinput"

option_settings:
    "aws:elasticbeanstalk:application:environment":
        DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE: “kirr.settings"
        "PYTHONPATH": "/opt/python/current/app/src:$PYTHONPATH"
        "ALLOWED_HOSTS": ".elasticbeanstalk.com"
    "aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:python":
        WSGIPath: src/kirr/wsgi.py
            NumProcesses: 3
            NumThreads: 20
    "aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:python:staticfiles":
        "/static/": "www/static/"

This is what I have tried:

ATTEMPT 1: Some suggested it could be a python version issue. I re-built my django app using python 3.4, same as on beanstalk, but there was no effect.

ATTEMPT 2: As suggested here, I have changed the privileges of the wsgi file. To do this, I ssh into beanstalk (eb ssh), cd to directory and then:

$ sudo chmod a+x wsgi.py

No effect.

ATTEMPT 3, as suggested here, I have changed the SOLINUX value to disabled as:

(venv)[ec2-user@ip-112-31-10-129 src]$ sudo nano /etc/selinux/semanage.conf

Any idea?

Answer 1

So, apparently I had saved the config files in the wrong folder. .elasticbeanstalk/ instead of . ebextensions/. Using the latter fixed the problem.

Remember to force git-add if the git does not want to add the hidden folder, as:

git add -f .ebextensions/
