Deploy Django App to Render as a static site - python

Anyone kind enough to tell me what should the build command be? Also what should there be in the publish directory (I named it dist and it has an empty index.html). My build script right now is:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# exit on error
set -o errexit
python manage.py collectstatic --no-input
python manage.py migrate

Manage.py unknown command

I am a student and my profesor needs me to install Django on PyCharm.
I made a big folder called PyCharmProjects and it includes like everything I have done in Python.
The problem is that I made a new folder inside this PyCharmProjects called Elementar, and I need to have the Django folders in there but it's not downloading.
I type in the PyCharm terminal django-admin manage.py startproject taskmanager1 (this is how my profesor needs me to name it)
After I run the code it says:
No Django settings specified.
Unknown command: 'manage.py'
Type 'django-admin help' for usage.
I also tried to install it through the MacOS terminal but I don't even have acces the folder named Elementar (cd: no such file or directory: Elementar) although it is created and it is seen in the PyCharm.
Manage.py its python file after you start your project, you cant call this file until this command:
django-admin startproject mysite
Then run:
python manage.py runserver
And if you want apps in your project run:
python manage.py startapp my_app
First of all, you can't create a project using manage.py because the manage.py file doesn't exist yet. It will be created automatically in the folder taskmanager1 if you run the command below.
You can create a project with the command
django-admin startproject taskmanager1
After that you can change the directory to the taskmanager1 folder with the cd taskmanager/ command.
When you changed the directory you can use the python manage.py commando for example if you want to run your migrations or creating an app.
python manage.py migrate

How do I run an existing Django file?

I downloaded a folder with multiple python files in the form of a Django project for a course and I am unable to run it. Usually, when you create a Django project it is created within the terminal with the line django-admin startproject web_project . and then python manage.py migrate is used and then the line python manage.py runserver to start a server.
How do I start a server to run my project?
When I use django-admin startproject web_project ., it creates a new project which I don't want. When I use python manage.py migrate or python manage.py runserver it says:
Command 'python' not found, did you mean:
command 'python3' from deb python3
command 'python' from deb python-is-python3
But even when I used python3 manage.py migrate or python3 manage.py runserver instead and it returned:
python3: can't open file 'manage.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
At first make sure you opened command prompt or terminal in right directory(in projects directory) when you are running the runserver command.
If you are on windows open the project folder(the folder that contains files like manage.py), then right click and press open PowerShell window here.
first of all I recommend creating a virtual environment using the following command
python3 -m venv .env
then activate it
source .env/bin/activate
"django-admin statproject" its for initalite a new project for running an excited Django app you should just install Django - if there is now "requirements.txt" file- , migrate and run.
pip install Django
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py runserver

Django loops infinitly after startapp method call

I'm doing the CS50Web course, and there is a Django project in which I want to create a new app called "wikipedia". The problem is that after I run this command in Windows PowerShell:
python manage.py runserver
this loop happens:
loop print
I don't know what I did wrong for that to happen. After running
python manage.py startapp wikipedia
, I:
went to my Django project and added 'wikipedia' in the installed apps in settings.py
went to urls.py and added a path like this:
path("wiki/", include("wikipedia.urls))
And then I tried running the server. What did I do wrong?
You must have something improperly configured.
Run this:
$ pip uninstall django
$ pip install django
$ django-admin startproject <projectname>
$ cd <projectname>
$ django-admin startapp wikipedia
$ python manage.py makemigrations
$ python manage.py migrate
do what you described in your question
Also, it is always a better idea to run these things in the CMD, rather than in the PowerShell
Are you sure you have url mappings in your wikipedia app urls.py? Not having any patterns there could be the cause of an error.

Run the right scripts before deployment elastic beanstalk

I am editing my .ebextensions .config file to run some initialisation commands before deployment. I thought this commands would be run in the same folder of the extracted .zip containing my app. But that's not the case. manage.py is in the root directory of my zip and if I do the commands:
01_collectstatic:
command: "source /opt/python/run/venv/bin/activate && python manage.py collectstatic --noinput"
I get a ERROR: [Instance: i-085e84b9d1df851c9] Command failed on instance. Return code: 2 Output: python: can't open file 'manage.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory.
I could do command: "python /opt/python/current/app/manage.py collectstatic --noinput" but that would run the manage.py that successfully was deployed previously instead of running the one that is being deployed atm.
I tried to check what was the working directory of the commands ran by the .config by doing command: "pwd" and it seems that pwd is /opt/elasticbeanstalk/eb_infra which doesn't contain my app.
So I probably need to change $PYTHONPATH to contain the right path, but I don't know which path is it.
In this comment the user added the following to his .config file:
option_settings:
aws:elasticbeanstalk:application:environment:
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE: myapp.settings
PYTHONPATH: "./src"
Because his manage.py lives inside the src folder within the root of his zip. In my case I would do PYTHONPATH: "." but it's not working.
AWS support solved the problem. Here's their answer:
When Beanstalk is deploying an application, it keeps your application files in a "staging" directory while the EB Extensions and Hook Scripts are being processed. Once the pre-deploy scripts have finished, the application is then moved to the "production" directory. The issue you are having is related to the "manage.py" file not being in the expected location when your "01_collectstatic" command is being executed.
The staging location for your environment (Python 3.4, Amazon Linux 2017.03) is "/opt/python/ondeck/app".
The EB Extension "commands" section is executed before the staging directory is actually created. To run your script once the staging directory has been created, you should use "container_commands". This section is meant for modifying your application after the application has been extracted, but before it has been deployed to the production directory. It will automatically run your command in your staging directory.
Can you please try implementing the container_command section and see if it helps resolve your problem? The syntax will look similar to this (but please test it before deploying to production):
container_commands:
01_collectstatic:
command: "source /opt/python/run/venv/bin/activate && python manage.py collectstatic --noinput"
So, the thing to remember about beanstalk is that each of the commands are independent, and you do not maintain state between them. You have two options in this case, put your commands into a shell script that is uploaded in the files section of ebextensions. Or, you can write one line commands that do all stateful activities prefixed to your command of interest.
e.g.,
00_collectstatic:
command: "pushd /path/to/django && source /opt/python/run/venv/bin/activate && python manage.py collectstatic --noinput && popd"

openshift-django : syncdb, deploy script not running

Is there any way by which I can run syncdb from my terminal? I don't know why my action_hooks/deploy script is not running. When I open my openshift database it show no table created.
source ${OPENSHIFT_HOMEDIR}python-2.6/virtenv/bin/activate
export PYTHON_EGG_CACHE=${OPENSHIFT_HOME_DIR}python-2.6/virtenv/lib/python-2.6/site-packages
echo "Executing 'python ${OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIRwsgi/my/manage.py syncdb --noinput'"
python "$OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR"my/manage.py syncdb --noinput
echo "Executing 'python ${OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR}wsgi/my/manage.py collectstatic --noinput -v0'"
python "$OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR"my/manage.py collectstatic --noinput -v0
git repo at https://github.com/sarvesh-onlyme/ninja/tree/master/openshift/django
How about:
source $OPENSHIFT_HOMEDIR/python-2.6/virtenv/bin/activate
cd $OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR/wsgi/$OPENSHIFT_APP_NAME
python manage.py syncdb --noinput
Please make sure to do something similar if your application type is python 2.7 based.
let me know if it does not work.
check logs (rhc tail app_name). Try to login to OpenShift app through ssh (rhc ssh app_name) and try to run deploy script manually (cd app-root/runtime/repo/.openshift/action_hooks; ./deploy). Do you see any errors?
Post your logs/errors here. I will update my answer afterwards.
//lol, sorry, I did not notice it's two year old question.
