django admin page not open on live website

Using Django Deployment
1

i have install django through cpanel but admin page is not open what should I do

We’re going to need a lot more information to be able to try and help.

  • What hosting provider are you using?
  • What instructions are you following for doing the deployment?
  • Have you verified at each step that things are progressing as they should?
  • What error messages are you getting, or what information is available to you in any log files?
  • When you say that the admin page isn’t opening, what exactly is happening when you go to your site?

That’s probably enough to start - we may have more questions once we start diving into this.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

It looks like you’re missing your application in INSTALLED_APPS.

You run the command python manage.py runserver after making migration and superuser or not ? If not run this command after making migration and superuser.

I also had a same problem.
When deploy django-app on cPanel after few setup.
Projects page works fine.

But when directing/go the page to ‘domain.name/admin’ I got error in console which said “refused to apply style” because its MIME type

The only thing I realized is mostly my django project started inside virtual environment.

But cPanel created his own environment when you deployed Python App.

I don’t know much about server side. But I think it’s from there.

fig
local dir project make sense for me. But this cPanel setup screw me up also.
Imagine we have to replace/move static file to some directory.

The setup on cPanel quite make sense. But applying those thing from local to server/cPanel doesn’t make sense for me.

I still figure it out for about a week. I’ll update latter if I found a solution.

  • if anybody could figure this out, let us know.

Extra:
I also tried type inside cPanel python shell. BASE_DIR actually works fine.

If I have to create custom admin layout maybe it could be work. But such a waste.

Just figured it out

But I tested it on Django 3.1.2 and Python 3.7.8

All pages, include admin section works fine.

I tried to typed it here. But hard to read.

Good luck.

Hi @prsfx , We are facing the exact issue. Used passengar_wsgi in cpanel and the site loads up fine but domain/admin gives us 404 with ErrorDocument.

I tried accessing your github link but it’s giving 404. Could you help share your findings?
