I have an error when I try to deploy my server using name.wsgi:application .

Hi, Yes, if you have nested directories that could cause an issue, and the solution would be name.name.wasgi:application. Module not found could indicate that your sys path or project directory isn't organised/defined correctly. A simple fix to this is to deploy your application with name.wsgi:application without altering your directories, and to not nest them. Good luck!

Hi Sir. Your videos have truly been a lifesaver. I am a beginner and at my workplace I have to deploy a django application that I am working on. My database has no writes because we don't collect any user data and there are no forms. Do I have to use a Postgres database. I have been reading online that for production, use postgres and not sqlite because sqlite can get corrupted. I was just wondering what I should do because my job uses AWS so I don't think I could use Render. If you have any videos for deploying django with postgres database on aws, that would be very helpful.
I need to ask this sir, i have deployed my django application + postgresql and i have model with image and some description and view it on the page and when I add and object it os completely fine everything is displayed but after maybe 30 mins, my images are gone but not the descriptions. Now I have to delete all the objects ang add it all again but will also disappear later. What might be the problem?
Thanks for the video, but everytime i try, render give the error "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'nameofmyapp.wsgi' ". Can you help me? give mw a proper answer.
Hi, i’m using an external postgres database and when I run migrations and collect static along with pip install… requirement.txt I get connection error but when i run the build command without migration and collect static, it successfully deploys the app but I get server error 500 in some pages. My application runs perfectly locally with production settings. I have checked the port and there is no mismatch. It is 5432.
Hi, please ensure that the database connection settings in your deployment environment match your local production settings, and verify that the database is accessible during the migration and static file collection processes. The server error 500 may indicate an issue with the database connection or missing static files that need to be addressed during deployment.
@@CloudWithDjango Thank you for replying! I ended up creating the Postgres database from render and load my data into it, just followed your video and I was able to successfully deploy my app. I only have problem with images, now watching your video on Cloudinary to hopefully fix that issue.

Hi, Please make sure that you have configured the python interpreter correctly, that your database url is still valid, and that you referenced your database url correctly.

Hello Can you make video with only static files and without database. I'm struggling rn I'm following your steps and my application is now live but it only shows EOF. What this mean?
Hi, Please see the timestamps in the description below. I mention a solution here. The EOF file error can be either because your application is too large, you need more compute power, or there is a problem in your requirements.txt file or within your application. Regarding your database question. You can just ignore that section and leave it out. If you don't have a database then you don't need to put in database configuration settings. I'd advise you to deploy a small and simple application first before attempting other projects.

Hi, If you have a growing application, with many users, and you want your database to run continuously. Then yes, you will need to pay eventually for the resource usage and extended up-time. You can score on the free tier usage for a certain amount of time, but you will be limited. This goes for all platforms and services.
Awesome...... It's really a great and helpful for any kinds of developer. If you are facing a great problem to deploy django app, you can follow this tutorial...It is easy to understand.. Thank you Sir..
Thank you for your kind feedback, Md. It is very much appreciated. I'm glad that the video tutorial was helpful to you. It is a pleasure :) All the best, Arno
Hi, Yes, this is expected and I mention a solution to this at the end of the video. There is a video tutorial on how to configure your static files with amazon s3 in the description of the video.
Arno hi, What is the actual solution of admin page styling? the one to run the command collect static? And if is that how i can a run a command on render?
Hi, The easiest solution would be to integrate Amazon S3 before deploying your application and run python manage.py collectstatic then before you deploy to Render. I'm not too sure of how you would run it on render. But yes that is the correct command nonetheless.
can you please help me i have hosted everything correctly but when i upload my image the database is showing my image path but how to retrieve or access that image ? where can i get that image ?
Hi, If you already have an existing postgres database. I'd suggest reading more in the docs about this. Here are two links to give you some guidance: community.render.com/t/connecting-to-a-external-postgresql-database/6488 render.com/docs/databases
Hi, If you are using the default SQlite database that Django gives you. It should automatically be configured by default within your application. So, you don't need to do anything else. All you need to do is deploy your application like normal to Render and ignore the PostgreSQL part.
Hey, I ran into a little and would appreciate your help. I followed your video exactly. However, after render deployed my project. I am seeing a blank page stating 'Not Found'. Do you have idea of what it might be ?
Hi, Thank you for reaching out, and for your question. It takes time after the deployment says it was a success. After doing the process you need to wait for a while for everything to setup correctly behind the scenes. I usually wait 10 - 15 minutes. So, basically a good rule of thumb - If Render shows your website is live, you still need to wait for a while afterwards and not open the link or interfere with it. For a while. Please also check your python version a newer version like 3.11.1 may cause problems as well.
@@CloudWithDjango wow thanks alot for your prompt response. I did use Python 3.10.6 as stated in the video. I have been click and interfering with it for a while now since it said live. So I am just going to wait a bit more as you stated here
@@wx270 Yes, that python version works well. My pleasure! Yes, I'd recommend just waiting a bit. If you see it still doesn't work after waiting for sometime. I'd then suggest re-creating your Web service, and following the process again, but this time without opening the link too early. Additionally, I'd also limit your packages for your first deployment, just to ensure that it's not an incompatible package version causing the issue.
@@CloudWithDjango Good morning, so I waited and eventually had to redeployed the web service as you stated. This time is showed “Sever Error 500”. None the less, I tried to navigate to other areas of my app and realized the styling wasn’t showing but I could see the text. Is this due to my static files?
@@wx270 Hi, Thank you for the detail. Yes, this is a possible reason for the failure, since I don't cover static files In this tutorial. You would need to use Amazon S3 or Cloudinary for that and not Render for the live server.
@@brylontoc6140 I appreciate your interest, but unfortunately I have a lot of tutorials to do, so it might be a long wait. So, I'd suggest watching another tutorial. I can't speak for drf, but last I checked you should be able to provision a MySql database with Railway.
Hi, I followed you steps, but it required Credit Card, but yours did not. Why does it different? Are you cheating us or things have changed in Render? It just 4 days ago you published this video. Pleas advise ... Thanks
Hi, This is a completely dishonest and an unnecessary accusation to insinuate. It is free. There is no reason for you to add a credit card. Nothing has changed in Render. If you want to put a credit card on file you can (which wasn't in my tutorial at all), but it's optional until you start making use of priced services. As you can see in the link below and in the video it explicitly states the free tier being $0. render.com/pricing So, even if you did put a credit card on file, all the services that I chose are part of the Free tier as clearly shown in the video, so you won't get charged. Everything is explained in the video meticulously. Hence, the reason for it being so long. I also mention in the video that you will be limited by resources.

Life saver 🔥🔥 but .. how come the django static files were not served for me can you please help
Thank you! I'm glad that it helped you!
Please see the list of timestamps in the description. I give a solution to this.
Good luck!
you really did a great job on this tutorial , just what i was looking for. Thankyou
Thank you so much! It is a great pleasure!
I wish you all the best in you development journey!
Loving your tutorials. I was wondering if you could do a video on deploying Django with Django-Q and Redis to Railway. I already have a Postgres DB on Railway and never deployed an app before and it seems overwhelming. Do I need to dockerize the app? Thanks!
Hi,
Thank you for your feedback and for the suggestion.
You don't need to dockerize your app. You can simply connect your database on railway to your django application.
@@CloudWithDjango Thanks, I finally made it work by using 2 services, one for the server and another for qcluster.
Thank you for your fantastic VDO, it's very easy to follow and makes I better understand, it's help me a lot, also make I understand the render services as well. Please keep going, I love the style that you made with the VDO so much.
Hi Prapath,
Thank you for your kind feedback. It is very much appreciated! :)
I'm glad to hear that my video was of value to you, and that you enjoy my style.

Hello, can render host a Django Channels application?
Hi,
You would need to check via trial and error.
Got not found after deploying
Hi, please check that your application is error-free upon deployment before kindly re-deploying
Ok
So in the long term the Render Database is not free?
Hi,
If you have a growing application, with many users, and you want your database to run continuously. Then yes, you will need to pay eventually for the resource usage and extended up-time.
You can score on the free tier usage for a certain amount of time, but you will be limited. This goes for all platforms and services.
How many days access this site?
If expire free service after 3months?.
HI,
You would need to check the free tier usage restriction. But yes, on the free tier your site will eventually run out of usage.
It is really helpful! thank you sir.
Of course, my pleasure! Glad that it was useful to you!
Awesome...... It's really a great and helpful for any kinds of developer. If you are facing a great problem to deploy django app, you can follow this tutorial...It is easy to understand.. Thank you Sir..
Thank you for your kind feedback, Md. It is very much appreciated.
I'm glad that the video tutorial was helpful to you.
It is a pleasure :)

@@CloudWithDjango Welcome & carry on
please , l followed all the steps but there is a problem l cant configure static and media files, how to do it in render
Hi,
Yes, this is expected and I mention a solution to this at the end of the video. There is a video tutorial on how to configure your static files with amazon s3 in the description of the video.
@@CloudWithDjango static files were fixed by whitenoise but there is a problem on media files
Great video as always. Thank you.
Thank you! Of course, my pleasure!
Truly amazing tutorials. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you taking time to watch them!
Arno hi, What is the actual solution of admin page styling? the one to run the command collect static?
And if is that how i can a run a command on render?
Hi,
The easiest solution would be to integrate Amazon S3 before deploying your application and run python manage.py collectstatic then before you deploy to Render.
I'm not too sure of how you would run it on render. But yes that is the correct command nonetheless.
@@CloudWithDjango thank you very much.
My pleasure!
can you please help me i have hosted everything correctly but when i upload my image the database is showing my image path but how to retrieve or access that image ? where can i get that image ?
Hi,
For images you may need to host it externally, such as with Amazon S3 or Cloudinary. This will make things a lot easier for you.
@@CloudWithDjango thanks is that free or paid ? do you have videos for that ?
@@CloudWithDjango means that this render cloud cannot host images or what is it possible to make video on this ?
Thanks! Very useful!
Successful deployed thank you bro

How to use existing postgres database?
Hi,
If you already have an existing postgres database. I'd suggest reading more in the docs about this. Here are two links to give you some guidance:
community.render.com/t/connecting-to-a-external-postgresql-database/6488
render.com/docs/databases
@@CloudWithDjango hello my database is in localhost
Hi,
If you are using the default SQlite database that Django gives you. It should automatically be configured by default within your application. So, you don't need to do anything else. All you need to do is deploy your application like normal to Render and ignore the PostgreSQL part.
Thank you very much!
My pleasure!
Thank you very much!
You're welcome!
Hey, I ran into a little and would appreciate your help. I followed your video exactly. However, after render deployed my project. I am seeing a blank page stating 'Not Found'.
Do you have idea of what it might be ?
Hi,
Thank you for reaching out, and for your question.
It takes time after the deployment says it was a success. After doing the process you need to wait for a while for everything to setup correctly behind the scenes. I usually wait 10 - 15 minutes.
So, basically a good rule of thumb - If Render shows your website is live, you still need to wait for a while afterwards and not open the link or interfere with it. For a while.
Please also check your python version a newer version like 3.11.1 may cause problems as well.
@@CloudWithDjango wow thanks alot for your prompt response. I did use Python 3.10.6 as stated in the video.
I have been click and interfering with it for a while now since it said live. So I am just going to wait a bit more as you stated here
@@wx270 Yes, that python version works well. My pleasure!
Yes, I'd recommend just waiting a bit. If you see it still doesn't work after waiting for sometime. I'd then suggest re-creating your Web service, and following the process again, but this time without opening the link too early.
Additionally, I'd also limit your packages for your first deployment, just to ensure that it's not an incompatible package version causing the issue.
@@CloudWithDjango Good morning, so I waited and eventually had to redeployed the web service as you stated. This time is showed “Sever Error 500”.
None the less, I tried to navigate to other areas of my app and realized the styling wasn’t showing but I could see the text.
Is this due to my static files?
@@wx270 Hi,
Thank you for the detail.
Yes, this is a possible reason for the failure, since I don't cover static files In this tutorial. You would need to use Amazon S3 or Cloudinary for that and not Render for the live server.
Very informative video!
Thank you!
Very much helpful
Thank you!
Thank you so much!

How can we include celery
Hi,
I have a video on my channel that deals with celery.
Hopefully that can give you some further insight.

Hello, do you have a tutorial about deploying drf + MySQL for Free also? thank you.
Hi,
Thank you for your question.
Unfortunately, I haven't got a tutorial on that.
@@CloudWithDjango will you be making on that one? Waiting for it, if there is. Thank you. or what hosting website would you suggest? thank you.
@@brylontoc6140 I appreciate your interest, but unfortunately I have a lot of tutorials to do, so it might be a long wait.
So, I'd suggest watching another tutorial. I can't speak for drf, but last I checked you should be able to provision a MySql database with Railway.
@@CloudWithDjango okay thank you very much sir. Appreciated for your response. 🙏
@@brylontoc6140 My problem at all.
All the best with your project!

Hi,
I followed you steps, but it required Credit Card, but yours did not.
Why does it different?
Are you cheating us or things have changed in Render?
It just 4 days ago you published this video.
Pleas advise ...
Thanks
Hi,
This is a completely dishonest and an unnecessary accusation to insinuate. It is free. There is no reason for you to add a credit card. Nothing has changed in Render.
If you want to put a credit card on file you can (which wasn't in my tutorial at all), but it's optional until you start making use of priced services.
As you can see in the link below and in the video it explicitly states the free tier being $0.
render.com/pricing
So, even if you did put a credit card on file, all the services that I chose are part of the Free tier as clearly shown in the video, so you won't get charged.
Everything is explained in the video meticulously. Hence, the reason for it being so long.
I also mention in the video that you will be limited by resources.
hello! I have a error. How can I update pip? Jun 4 02:43:19 PM [notice] A new release of pip available: 22.2.1 -> 23.1.2

Hi Jane,
Please ensure that you don't include pip in your requirements.txt file. You shouldn't have this problem then.
