[@burakcankurtarr2751]

Can you make a video about "How to setup SSL and domain name on AWS ?" And maybe a video about "How to setup database and email service(SMTP) on AWS ?". You're really teaching in a simple way and i like it. And it works when I do the same steps as you did on the video(People who watch tutorials will understand it :DD)

[@CloudWithDjango]

Hi Burak, Thank you for your suggestions. I will try to look into that If I manage to get some time. The "How to setup an SSL certificate and a domain name on AWS" is a very good recommendation that I would like to cover. A few other people have also asked me to cover it. I do have some video's on that which you can find in my AWS fundamentals playlist. However, I would like to cover this if I can with an EC2 instance though - so that it is more complete. Thank you, I appreciate your feedback! I'm glad that you are enjoying my content and that you can follow them nicely. Hahaha... I get what you mean. Yes, I triple check my videos before I upload them to ensure that anyone who can read and type can do it. Patience is the name of the game, and I'm glad that you and many are (when it comes to following tutorials and learning) :) All the best, Arno

[@KlausBentes]

For anyone having the same issue I was having with FATAL or BACKOFF or STARTING errors, the only thing that worked for me was first installing what was in my "requirements.txt" file. 1. cd into the project folder then run this: pip install -r requirements.txt 2. Make sure your "gunicorn.conf" is correct and then try checking the status again. Remember to replace the "elevate.wsgi:application" part with "[your folder name that includes wsgi].wsgi:application".

Please create a SSH key, its just the matter of a single click, and no harm is done. It will be a lot harder to set it up after the instance is created. The SSH key will be needed to access the instance from our terminal. it is far better than connecting from aws website.

[@trippybunn]

thanks for the video! one question: this works if I associate my instance with an elastic ip and put that ip in the server name field?

[@CloudWithDjango]

You're welcome! Using an Elastic IP and inputting its address into the server name field should work for associating your instance with a static IP address for various services, such as hosting websites or remote access like SSH or RDP. However, the specific functionality and setup would depend on the requirements of your application or service.

Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this issue? Any help would be appreciated.

[@CloudWithDjango]

Hi, Thank you for your feedback it is appreciated. I would recommend double checking your django.conf settings as well. Unfortunately, it can only be a configuration issue. It is very easy to make even the smallest mistake with Nginx. It took me a long time to set it up correctly the first time. So, I'd recommend re-watching the video tutorial and checking everything meticulously from a space to a line to a semi-colon. Good luck!

Hello, the video is excellent, it helped me a lot but I have a problem, I bought a domain on route 53 and linked it to the IP that ec2 gives us but it does not show me my site, it only shows me the main screen of nginx, if I access The IP shows me the site, I don't know if I have a little information to ensure that my site is displayed correctly, I thank you in advance for your tutorials

[@CloudWithDjango]

Hi, Thank you very much! Please ensure that the Nginx server block for your domain in the configuration file specifies the correct server_name matching your domain. Additionally, confirm that the DNS settings in AWS Route 53 point to the correct EC2 instance's public IP address.

[@Nikhil-Tomar]

Isn't root in nginx a security issue also we can change folders permission to www-data so nginx could read files or we can rename www-data with current logged in user, I feel root is not the most secure way to go.

[@CloudWithDjango]

Hi, Thank you for your question. Not necessarily, it all depends on your architecture and how many users you will have working on your application. Besides, the idea is to get you started with deployment. There are plenty of other things that I would've liked to cover, but it would've made for too much of a long video in one. So, if you would like to add some extra things, you will need to do some additional research on-top of this.

As you cloned a repo from Github, that's fine for a new project. However, I wanted to ask - how do you apply updates to your Django project from the updates pushed to your repo on the Github? Thanks

[@CloudWithDjango]

Hi, The simple way to do so would be to re-clone your GitHub repo as a means of grabbing updates. A more advanced way would be to set up a pipeline of sorts for automation.

[@g33kgu]

Thanks a lot for your advise. I could not set up the py env; at the end, I create a gunicorn service

[@thehitboy7602]

Hi! If I make changes to the code, what should I do after I pull them in the AWS console? Should I reconfigure my Django file? Should I restart something?

[@CloudWithDjango]

Hi, All you'd need to do is reclone your project from github as you initially did

[@thehitboy7602]

@@CloudWithDjango Correct me if I’m wrong to assume that by recloning you mean deleting the existing project and cloning another one, since you can’t reclone two identical projects. If you meant pulling the changes and modifying the existing project directory, is this the only thing I need to do?

[@CloudWithDjango]

Hi, Recloning typically refers to deleting the existing project directory and then cloning it again from the source repository; however, if you meant pulling changes and modifying the existing project directory, updating it with the latest changes from the repository would be sufficient.

[@razorhxh7371]

Hi Sir. If I make changes to my django application and push the changes to GitHub, how do I update the changes on the terminal? Would be great if you can make a video on setting up a CI/CD pipeline on AWS to automate that process.

[@CloudWithDjango]

Hi. You would need to re-clone your application, and ensure that supervisorctl is running. To update the change. I appreciate the suggestion on CI/CD with AWS.

No problem, glad to help. Ah, so this is because you configured your settings wrong. I'd recommend retrying the process and taking your time, it is very easy to make a small mistake. It happened to me a lot. I'd recommend that you double check your gunicorn.conf file. It needs to be exact. Then it'll work.

Thank you for this! Question: I am having an ALLOWED_HOSTS issue. I have the hosts set to ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*', '54.204.100.74']. I updated with get pull and restarted the nginx server but it still wont allow me to connect. I also confirmed that IPv4 incoming addresses are good and the config files seem right. is something wrong with the allowed hosts syntax or something?

[@CloudWithDjango]

Hi, It's no problem. So, please verify that you have indeed saved the settings file correctly after making changes and that the correct settings file is being used by Django. Double-check that your web server (NGINX) and application server (such as Gunicorn) are properly configured and restarted after changes. Ensure that any environment-specific settings or environment variables are set correctly if you are using them.If using Docker or another containerization tool, confirm that the container has the updated settings file and that it's being rebuilt and redeployed correctly. Finally, look into the server logs (both Django and NGINX) to identify any specific errors that might give more context on why the connection is not being allowed.

[@secretr5024]

This tutorial worked perfectly for me and I got my application running :D but one question. If I wanted to specify a better server name what would I put in the djang.conf file? also if I edited that would I need to use that to find my website? also do I use http or https

[@CloudWithDjango]

I'm glad to hear that everything worked for you! You can create a domain name and associate that with the server name in the django.conf file and also in your settings.py file for allowed hosts. Yes, whatever the server name is, will usually be where you can reach your website. It is recommended to use HTTPS if possible.

Why create venv? In dev, a person might want to work on multiple apps. But the server instance is 1 instance. WHy use venv? what problem does this solve? what is the benefit?

[@CloudWithDjango]

Hi, That is true, but sometimes people just want to work with one application, so creating a singular virtual environment is necessary. We use It since it is a best practice for the use case in the video. The problem that it solves is that your packages and dependencies aren't stored globally everywhere, which is also a benefit for compartmentalisation

What's the use of supervisor & gunicorn?

[@CloudWithDjango]

Hi, Supervisor is a process control system for Unix-like operating systems, which helps to manage and monitor processes, ensuring they stay up and running even after unexpected failures or crashes. Gunicorn (Green Unicorn) is a Python WSGI HTTP server for Unix, which allows you to run Python web applications. It's often used to deploy web applications written in frameworks like Django or Flask, providing concurrency and scalability to handle multiple requests efficiently.

@@CloudWithDjango one question. How do we access static files in django on EC2? Do you have any video related to it ? checked your video list but not able to find it. thanks

[@CloudWithDjango]

Hi, I would suggest that you utilize Amazon S3 for this use case. Here are the docs to learn more: django-storages.readthedocs.io/en/latest/backends/amazon-S3.html Good luck!

[@tanishapareek1045]

Hey, Thankyou so much for this quite explanatory video. I followed each step right and received the same expected result as you. However at the end, on running on my Ipv4 address, I get "Internal Server Error(500)". Please help me as to what needs to be done in order to get my website running on internet. My project has usage of databases. I used AWS S3 Buckets for file storage when I was running it on my local machine. I am also using SMTP Mail service in it. Please guide me through! Edit: Now I am getting Bad gateway error (502 nginx/ 1.18.0 (Ubuntu))

[@naimsouni4428]

I have the same problem ( internal server error) , did you found the solution ?

[@CloudWithDjango]

Hi, with Django apps, an internal server error means there is an error with your application. You would need to temporarily set debug to true to quickly check the issue, and then set debug to false after resolving it.

[@naimsouni4428]

@@CloudWithDjango yes thank you for the response. Actually now I resolved the problem but still meet lot of issues... I try to deploy django rest framework, I can go until the end of the video and see the api on the internet with the ip public address but at the end I cannot connect with it and don' t know where to see the logs of the program so I don't know what is the error and if I can connect to the api with my front end ( react native ). If you know what to do please let me know :)

[@CloudWithDjango]

Hi, I'd suggest re-checking your steps, especially where supervisorctl is concerned

[@Fede_uyz]

​@@CloudWithDjango i dont know really, i deleted the instance, re did it carefully, same issue. Re deleted it, re did it and it worked. But now it stopped loading! It was working (except it didnt load css) and a few hours later it simply stopped loading

[@kwamenadadson]

hello so if I want to restart the service after making some changes to the django application what do I do ?

[@CloudWithDjango]

Hi, You don't need to restart the service, it is automatically configured with supervisor for this exact purpose. All you need to do is git pull from your GitHub repository as we did in the beginning when we grabbed our application. It will be the same process and in the exact same way. Good luck!

[@kwamenadadson]

@@CloudWithDjango yes solved it by killing the process But since supervisor is always running it will Create another process And boom it will Update the Django app

how to convert http domain to https tried certbot but didnt workout & thanks a lot for these videos learnt to deploy django from YOU :) ?

[@CloudWithDjango]

Invalid HTTP_HOST header: 'my public ip'. You may need to add 'my public ip' to ALLOWED_HOSTS. please help me

[@CloudWithDjango]

Hi, You need to either allow all hosts in your allowed hosts setting or add in the public IPv4 address for your ec2 instance.

[@edwardseverinsen5598]

Had an issue where Django wouldn't run because it said the version of SQLite3 that was installed on my AWS Linux server was too low. Oddly enough after trying to use yum to update SQLite3 to the latest version it just wouldn't work no matter what I tried like using the sqlite-devel package for Python, yum wouldn't update it, etc. Eventually I just had to roll back the Django version to 2.0. Just putting it out there for anyone who might be having similar issues. I'm aware the author chose Ubuntu for the VM, I just preferred the AWS Linux Server variant.

[@CloudWithDjango]

Hi Edward, Thank you for reaching out and for the additional emphasis on this topic. Indeed, that is correct. A more elegant solution would be to make use of a more production ready database such as Postgres. You can provision it for free with Render. Please refer to my pinned message for extra information. It will be after the code. Good luck!

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 502 (Bad Gateway). I'm getting this error what to do???????????

[@CloudWithDjango]

Hi, If you are getting a 500 error. There is most likely an error with your application. If you are getting a 502 error, then you configured your settings wrong, I'm afraid. Most likely because your directory structure is different from how I demonstrate it in the video.
