python - Gunicorn, no module named 'myproject -

i'm installing built website on new server. i'm not original developer.

i've used gunicorn + nginx in past keep app alive (basically following this tutorial), having problems here.

i source venv/bin/activate, ./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 works , running expected. shut down , run gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:8000 myproject.wsgi:application, , following:

i believe structure of whole application. before, i've built apps basic structure of:

myproject ├── manage.py ├── myproject │   ├── urls.py │   ├── views.py │   ├── component1 │   │   ├── urls.py │   │   └── views.py │   ├── component2 │   │   ├── urls.py │   │   └── views.py ├── venv │   ├── bin │   └── ... 

this one, instead, has structure like:

myproject ├── apps │   ├── blog │   │   ├── urls.py │   │   ├── views.py │   │     └── ... │   ├── catalogue │   │   ├── urls.py │   │   ├── views.py │   │     └── ... │   ├── checkout │   │   ├── urls.py │   │   ├── views.py │   │     └── ... │   ├── core │   │   ├── urls.py │   │   ├── views.py │   │     └── ... │   ├── customer │   ├── dashboard │   └──  __init__.py ├── __init__.py ├── manage.py ├── project_static │   ├── assets │   ├── bower_components │   └── js ├── public │   ├── emails │   ├── media │   └── static ├── settings │   ├── base.py │   ├── dev.py │   ├── __init__.py │   ├── local.py │   └── production.py ├── templates │   ├── base.html │   ├── basket │   ├── blog │   └── .... ├── urls.py ├── venv │   ├── bin │   ├── include │   ├── lib │   ├── pip-selfcheck.json │   └── share └── wsgi.py 

so, there's no 'main' module running show, expect gunicorn looking for.

any thoughts?

wsgi.py:

import os  django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application  os.environ.setdefault("django_settings_module", "settings")  application = get_wsgi_application() 

your error message

importerror: no module named 'myproject.wsgi' 

you ran app with

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

and wsgi.py has line

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

this disconnect. in order recognize project myproject.wsgi parent directory have on python path... running

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

would eliminate error. however, different error because wsgi.py file refers settings instead of myproject.settings. implies app intended run root directory instead of 1 directory up. can figure out sure looking @ code- if uses absolute imports, from myproject.app import ... or from app import .... if guess correct, correct commmand is

gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:8000 wsgi:application 

if app use myproject in of paths, you'll have modify pythonpath run properly...

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