Description:
Hi all,
i'm quite new to AWS Lightsail and Bitnami and trying to deploy a exiting Django project on AWS Lightsail with Bitnami and Apache using this instruction:
https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/apps/weblate/get-started/deploy-django-project/
I'm running a AWS Lightsail Linux instance with Django 3.1.0.
I created a new folder named projects in htdocs:
/opt/bitnami/apache/htdocs/projects
and uploaded my Django Project to this folder:
/opt/bitnami/apache/htdocs/projects/portfoliodrilldown
in this folder is my manage.py file and the folders for my apps.
My settings.py file and wsgi.py is located in:
/opt/bitnami/apache/htdocs/projects/portfoliodrilldown/core
When I run: cd htdocs/projects/portfoliodrilldown python manage.py run server 0.0.0.0:8000 I can access my website under http://SERVER-IP:8000
However when I try to continue the instructions to host the website using Apache my problems begin.
Following the instruction I created the following files:
1.
/opt/bitnami/apache/conf/vhosts/portfoliodrilldown-vhost.conf
"<IfDefine !IS_PORTFOLIODRILLDOWN_LOADED>

)After restarting the Apache Server I tried to access the website using several variations of:
http://SERVER-IP/portfoliodrilldown/core
http://SERVER-IP/portfoliodrilldown
http://SERVER-IP/core
...
but im always getting the 500 Internal Server Error.
I hope someone of you guys can help me to fix this problem!
Big thanks in advance!!
