Hi @omkashyap007

The issue is this line:

```auto
Apr 09 19:09:47 ubuntu-s-1vcpu-1gb-blr1-01 python[3411]: django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Cannot find 'application' in ASGI_APPLICATION module Chatapp.asgi

```

So I’d skip `systemd` for the moment, and make sure you can run `daphne` by hand, and that all the paths etc. are lined up correctly. Once you’re sure you’ve got it all configured properly, and Daphne is running your app in a shell, then you can go back to the Systemd configuration, and make sure that’s correct too.

It can be tricky getting it lined up. 😬
