Gunicorn Not Finding core.wsgi in Django Project

My wsgi.py file is located in MANNA_RAMIRO/core/core/wsgi.py, and I have ensured that my INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py includes all necessary applications:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
‘django.contrib.admin’,
‘django.contrib.auth’,
‘django.contrib.contenttypes’,
‘django.contrib.sessions’,
‘django.contrib.messages’,
‘django.contrib.staticfiles’,
‘Authentication’,
‘Cadastro’,
]

Here’s the content of my wsgi.py file:

import os

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application

os.environ.setdefault(‘DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE’, ‘core.settings’)

application = get_wsgi_application()

And here is my Start Command:

gunicorn core.wsgi:application

Despite following the suggested structure and configurations, Gunicorn still cannot locate the core.wsgi module. I’ve also verified that all necessary __init__.py files are in place.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue or have any suggestions on how to resolve this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi there,

I think your start command should be gunicorn core.core.wsgi:application seeing the wsgi.py file is under core/core.

I tried and it didn’t work. I believe I have already tested most of the possibilities, including trying to modify my wsgi file

Hi there,

I think because of the way your project is structured you also need to have s.environ.setdefault(‘DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE’, ‘core.settings’) using core.core.setting. To be honest I’m not sure why your have the top level, core directory.

When I do this, it stops recognizing my module

Hi there,

This is likely to be the same issue as previously mentioned. You should get this working locally first. However, when running locally, you should run it from the top level core directory, so it runs in a similar fashion to how you are trying to run it on Render.
