if it gives error on 18:00 when you try to collect static, uncomment this line in webproject/webproject/settings.py: "STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')" Then it will collect just fine

[@jonesth3]

Great Project thank you for your help. I did have one issue with some of the newer python updates. They now store the time zone info with the pub_date. Excel does not support timezones in the time_date field. There may be a more elegant way to fix this, but I just stripped the time code off by converting the value to a str and doing a split with the "+".

[@SLEDGERSoftwareCompany]

it works!!!... great video...

[@Grunttamer]

Really great tutorial but you should replace that .bat with a requirements.txt and use a virtual environment to keep your python install clean

Hi, I've followed your tutorial step by step and I keep getting a 500.0 error saying: FastCGI Quit unexpectedly, any guidance as to why I might be getting that? Looks like django is not even talking to IIS here

[@eugenetuyizere5231]

I followed well the process but my CSS files are missing in the app. What can I do?

[@akki_the_tecki]

this is because you might run ur django app in non-internet pc, so that the CDN links in the styles are not accessing the internet, so you do save the CDN links and redirect them to ur code. and that works fine now. I found that today mrng only , LOL But i want to know how is the flask app will open in IIS 🙁🙁🙁

Thanks for this tutorial! Can you show us how to deploy a flask app on Windows using Microsoft IIS

did you get that.. please Iam in need....

[@AllthingsFoodieTX]

question so is the iis server seperate or did you install django on the microsoft server as well or is that on another pc thanks

[@Johnnyboycurtis]

Everything is running on the same vm. IIS would require Django to be installed on the same VM.

Make sure your VM can communicate with host

[@venkatabharathkarnati5932]

Thanks for the video it's explained clearly . 1. Do we need to have same name structure folders like inetpub/wwwroot ? 2. I need to add redis and celery in background do you have any solution for this that will be more helpful. 3. Can you expect another video explaining adding a new site and giving some name instead of localhost?

[@Johnnyboycurtis]

1. Yes 2. No, but there are plenty of other guides on Celery and other Django add-ons 3. Probably not. I'm a bit too busy. The point of this video was to illustrate basic steps to deploying a Django project on a Windows based platform. There are dozens of other useful guides that dive deeper into getting your project deploy-ready. For example, it sounds like you need a domain name. There are many tutorials that cover this. I recommend reviewing Corey Schafer's playlist on Django kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2WbqZibpJqJpM0

Hello ! Amazing tutorial ! I have one question. If I want to use a real ip and a domain name for people accessing my web-project,how do I do that ?

[@sharadbee3813]

Why we are using google cloud platform here, Can't we do this with iis standalone?

[@Johnnyboycurtis]

Google Cloud is used to create a clean VM. It’s up to you to decide where to host your server (locally or in the cloud)

[@Saradomin65]

Wait, should'nt we make a virtual environment and install all the dependencies of the project to that virtual environment? At least that's how I did it when I tried deploying it to Ubuntu.

[@Johnnyboycurtis]

Yes. This is only an illustration of the basics. Trying to keep it as simple as possible.

[@magichatake]

I have IIS. Even following your video I stepped on a error telling that could not find the script processor...

[@Johnnyboycurtis]

Then you did not follow everything step by step, or you are using a Windows set up with settings different from a "blank" Windows VM. I suggest you create a Windows VM, download the GitHub repo and try again. Follow every single step closely.

By this time you already know what you did in and with this video is awesome! I am just extending the acknowledgment. Everything works but there's one problem I'm facing is when I try to export the file as excel I get a Server Error (500). Any idea why that might be?

[@Johnnyboycurtis]

No idea. It’s just the export? You would need to follow the trace back. Make sure Debug = True to view the trace back

[@moyeda.m.chowdhury5336]

@@Johnnyboycurtis I'm terribly sorry for getting back this late! (Debug: can't subtract offset-naive and offset-aware datetimes) It seems that I was having some issues with the "TIME_ZONE = True", I made it false and it worked. Need to study deeper. Thanks :)

Hi John.. Firstly congratualtions and thank you for an amazing tutorial.. I need help with win32com.. My app works with outlook and works perfect on local server.. However on the VM, it doesn't and gives me error about win32com error.. Is it because Outlook is not installed on the server machine? Is there a workaround to get over this. Please help.. I am using pywin32

[@Johnnyboycurtis]

If your server is not a Windows based machine without Outlook (or whatever application it needs access to) installed then you will receive that error. Attempt running the application in development mode first (e.g. python manage.py runserver)
