I'm installing a previously built website on a new server. I'm not the original developer.
I've used Gunicorn + nginx in the past to keep the app alive (basically following this tutorial), but am having problems with it here.
I source venv/bin/activate
, then ./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
works well and everything is running as expected. I shut it down and run gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:8000 myproject.wsgi:application
, and get the following:

I believe it something to do with the structure of the whole application. Before, I've built apps with the 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 a 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 the show, which is what I expect gunicorn is looking for.
any thoughts?
wsgi.py:
import os
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "settings")
application = get_wsgi_application()
