How you can set up AWS gunicorn a virtual environment and install gunicorn within it:

 

1. Install python3-venv (if not already installed)

To create a virtual environment, you need to ensure that python3-venv is installed. Run:


sudo apt install python3-venv

2. Create a Virtual Environment

Navigate to your project directory and create a virtual environ

cd ~/project

python3 -m venv env

This command creates a directory named env in your project directory containing the virtual environment.

3. Activate the Virtual Environment

Activate the virtual environment:

source env/bin/activate

Your command prompt should change to indicate that the virtual environment is active.

4. Install gunicorn Within the Virtual Environment

With the virtual environment activated, install gunicorn:

pip install gunicorn

5. Run Your Django Application with gunicorn

Start gunicorn using the virtual environment:

gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:8000 proname.wsgi

Replace proname with the name of your Django project.

Deactivate the Virtual Environment

When you're done working in the virtual environment, you can deactivate it:

deactivate

The error you're encountering indicates that port 8000 is already in use, which prevents gunicorn from binding to that port. Here’s how you can resolve this issue:

1. Find the Process Using Port 8000

To find out which process is using port 8000, run:

sudo lsof -i :8000

This command will list the processes using port 8000.

2. Stop the Process Using Port 8000

Once you identify the process ID (PID) from the previous command, you can stop it. For example, if the PID is 12345, run:

sudo kill -9 12345

Make sure to replace 12345 with the actual PID.

3. Restart gunicorn

After freeing up the port, try starting gunicorn again:

gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:8000 proname.wsgi

Alternative: Use a Different Port

If you prefer not to stop the process using port 8000, you can run gunicorn on a different port. For example, to use port 8080, run:

gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:8080 proname.wsgi

Adjust your configurations or URLs accordingly if you use a different port.

If you have any more questions or run into further issues, let me know!

Great! It looks like gunicorn is now successfully running and listening on port 8080. You should be able to access your Django application by navigating to:

http://your-ec2-public-ip:8080/

Connect and Configure MongoDB in Django Project

  Django, a high-level Python web framework, is well-known for its robustness and versatility. While Django natively supports popular databases like PostgreSQL and MySQL, you may want to integrate a NoSQL database like MongoDB for specific use cases. MongoDB’s flexibility and scalability make it an excellent choice for handling unstructured data. In this blog, we will walk you through the process of connecting MongoDB to a Django project, enabling you to harness the power of NoSQL in your web applications. Prerequisites: Before we begin, ensure you have the following prerequisites in place: Django installed on your system. MongoDB database server installed and running. Basic familiarity with Django project structure and database concepts. Virtual Environment, this is optional but recommended. You check our blog  here . Note:  For this tutorial, we are using our basic  skeleton project  for Django. You can also download the project from  here . Step 1: Insta...

How to host Django Application in AWS using gunicorn & nginx in Production

in this post, we will see how to use    nginx  with    gunicorn  to serve    django     applications  in production.  Django is a very powerful web framework and ships with a server which is able to facilitate development. This development server is not scalable and is not suited for production. Hence we need to configure gunicorn to get better scalability and nginx can be used as a reverse proxy and as a web server to serve static files. Let's get started  Step 1 - Installing python and nginx Let's update the server's package index using the command below: sudo apt update Copy sudo apt install python3-pip python3-dev nginx Copy This will install python, pip and nginx server Step 2 - Creating a python virtual environment  sudo pip3 install virtualenv Copy This will install a virtual environment package in python. Let's create a project directory to host our Django application and create a virtual environment inside th...
