running gunicorn mapping to myproject/wsgi.py

Using Django Deployment

I’m trying to setup gunicorn on an Azure VM but there is no .wsgi file for me to run : gunicorn -c gunicorn_config.py myproject.wsgi

gunicorn -c gunicorn_config.py myproject/wsgi.py

Please post your gunicorn_config.py file.

Also, note:

but:

3 
import multiprocessing

bind = "127.0.0.1:8000"  # Replace with your desired IP and port
workers = multiprocessing.cpu_count() * 2 + 1
worker_class = "gthread"
threads = 2
timeout = 60

Nginx is running in front.

I think we were cross-posting - see my previous reply.

So it is not necessary for there to be a myproject.wsgi file is there ?

The reference to myproject.wsgi in the command line:

Is not a reference to a file. It’s a reference to a module.
