Django Deploy tutorial - deploy fails

1

I am trying to complete the Django application deploy tutorial. Deploy Django on Render | Render

During the process, after (or maybe while) installing dependencies, I get an error. Here is the log:

Sep 28 11:11:43 AM  ==> Build failed 😞

I have PYTHON_VERSION set to 3.10.7.

I used the manual deployment method specified near the end of the tutorial.

What am I doing wrong?

Did you commit the manage.py file to your project as well? It looks like it is missing.

Hi Micah,

Thanks for reaching out.

As jnns suggested, the error is looking for a manage.py in the root of your project/repo:

python: can't open file '/opt/render/project/src/manage.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

You may need to double-check the file is there/named correctly.

Kind regards

Alan

It’s definitely there.

Here is my directory structure:

    ├── db.sqlite3

        ├── __init__.py

        │   ├── settings.cpython-310.pyc
        │   ├── urls.cpython-310.pyc
        │   └── wsgi.cpython-310.pyc
        ├── asgi.py
        ├── settings.py
        ├── urls.py
        └── wsgi.py

As you can see, my project root is called ‘render’, the Django project is www, and I made an app called ‘render’. Not sure if that is relevant.

Thanks for sharing, you do seem to have quite a different structure compared to the Render Django example if you’re following the guide, so your manage.py is under the www directory.

I’m not a Python/Django expert but maybe you can update your build.sh to point the commands to where the manage.py file resides, e.g.:

python ./www/manage.py collectstatic --no-input
