Using AWS and Gunicorn, my Django site is accessible and fully functional if I spin up the Django's built-in server, but I can't access it through Gunicorn.
If I try:
gunicorn MyApp.wsgi
It seems to start up:
[2015-11-18 17:53:30 +0000] [18752] [INFO] Starting gunicorn 19.3.0
[2015-11-18 17:53:30 +0000] [18752] [INFO] Listening at: http://0.0.0.0:8001 (18752)
[2015-11-18 17:53:30 +0000] [18752] [INFO] Using worker: sync
[2015-11-18 17:53:30 +0000] [18755] [INFO] Booting worker with pid: 18755
But the browser just returns the Nginx splash page at the basic URL/IP address and times out when attempting to visit <url>:8001 or <ip_address>:8001.
I get the same result if I run:
gunicorn MyApp.wsgi:application --bind 0.0.0.0:8001
EDIT: If I try the same command with the specific URL in place of 0.0.0.0 it outputs the following:
[2015-11-18 18:24:17 +0000] [18902] [INFO] Starting gunicorn 19.3.0

[2015-11-18 18:24:22 +0000] [18902] [ERROR] Can't connect to ('myurl.xyz', 8001)
If I use the server's IP address, I see:
[2015-11-18 18:26:22 +0000] [18911] [INFO] Starting gunicorn 19.3.0
[2015-11-18 18:26:22 +0000] [18911] [ERROR] Invalid address: ('<my_ip>', 8001)
I spent 3 days unsuccessfully trying to get uWSGI to work and I'm on day 2 with Gunicorn and I can't seem to get past this point with either. None of the docs or tutorials specify what to do if this first step doesn't work. I'm very new at this, perhaps there is something simple that I'm overlooking that everyone else just assumes would be taken care of?
All relevant IP addresses and urls are set correctly in the ALLOWED_HOSTS portion of Django's settings module.
