Comments on How to Install Django Python Framework on CentOS 8

After following all steps in nginx, on chrom I typed 192.168.186.128:8000

but it gives "This site can't be reached" 192.168.186.128 refused to connect.

What am I doing wrong?

The same problem, guide not work!!!. on step access django application  "You can access the Django application by visiting the URL http://your-server-ip:8000. You should see the following page: " 

The guide is ok. Compare the output that you got when you started Django with the one from the guide. If Django reported "Django application is now started and runs on port 8000." and you have set the correct IP as allowed host, then it must be accessible from that IP. It might be that you just tried to access it from a different IP. You can continue then with the next step to set up Nginx and when you reached the end of the guide, try to access it on the port you configured in nginx.

This is my mistake everything works fine, great work, thank

Is it okay to place project under /opt directory?

creating the django systemd service file did not work for me. After django active is failed when running systemctl status django. This is my current file: [Unit]

Description=django daemon

After=network.target

[Service]

User=nginx

Group=nginx

WorkingDirectory=/web/google_groceries

ExecStart=/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/gunicorn --workers 3 --bind unix:/web/google_groceries/google_groceries.sock google_groceries.wsgi:application

[Install]

WantedBy=multi-user.target.

The path for gunicorn in the article did not apply to me

When I access http://your-server-ip the nginx greeting page is shown and not the Django welkome page.

My debugging: When i run /usr/local/bin/gunicorn --workers 3 --bind unix:/opt/djangoproject/djangoproject.sock djangoproject.wsgi:application the http://your-server-ip:8000 is not reachable

treminating with the error mesage ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

When I run /usr/local/bin/gunicorn --workers 3 --bind 0.0.0.0:8000:/opt/djangoproject/djangoproject.sock djangoproject.wsgi:application the page http://your-server-ip:8000 is accessible 

I installed sudo yum install selinux-policy-devel and the simply ran sudo semanage permissive -a httpd_t. 

It works! 

Now to serach for some certbot tutorials.

Did I do something wrong? *41 connect() to unix:/opt/djangoproject/djangoproject.sock failed (13: Permission denied) while connecting to upstream

Thank you! It was the most useful post in my all searched posts. After 3 days hard work it was work successfully today!
