1: 01_packages.config
packages:
yum:
git: []

I kept this in my root directory.
When I run eb deploy
it deploys successfully.
but when I run the browser to my url.
I get this Internal Server Error page.
So I tried to look in to the log files on the server under /var/log/httpd/error_log
i get the following error:

and this is the new wsgi.py file.
import os
import logging
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "settings.development")
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
# application = get_wsgi_application()
env_variables_to_pass = ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', ]
def application(environ, start_response):
if environ['mod_wsgi.process_group'] != '':
import signal
os.kill(os.getpid(), signal.SIGINT)
return ["killed"]
and following was the old wsgi.py file
import os
import logging
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "settings.development")
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()
env_variables_to_pass = ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', ]
So then I tried to run application on the server using python manage.py runserver as there was nothing else to do to fix this and I was not sure where the problem is.
So I did ssh and I did used the virtualenvironment of server that was already there created by EB.
after running python manage.py runserver.
I get this following error.
File "/opt/python/run/venv/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/db/backends/mysql/base.py", line 27, in <module>
raise ImproperlyConfigured("Error loading MySQLdb module: %s" % e)
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named MySQLdb
So I tried to follow any advice that I could see available on google.
I tried pip install mysqlclient
I get this error.

I tried both
pip install mysqlclient --no-cache-dir
and
pip install mysqlclient
It's Centos server so I cannot do the sudo apt-get commands.
Only yum commands work.
I tried this following command with sudo
sudo pip install mysql-connector-python
But I think this will be installed globally rather than env.
So I tried without sudo, and it gave permission error.
I used other commands to install mysql both with sudo and not sudo.
pip install pymysql
sudo yum install python-mysqldb
No matter what I do I get this MySQL error.
I don't want to move to other database as I would have to move data as well.
UPDATE
from given suggession of #Arun K i ran this following command
which mysql_config
i got this following response.
/usr/bin/which: no mysql_config in (/opt/python/run/venv/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/aws/bin:/home/ec2-user/.local/bin:/home/ec2-user/bin)

in my case on on 64bit Amazon Linux 2/3.0.1
i had to install the following via *.config inside .ebextensions
packages:
yum:
python3-devel: []
mariadb-devel: []
gcc: []

Try running
sudo yum install mysql-devel gcc python-devel
Then
pip install mysqlclient

Why don't you use docker and run the Django app as a container? The elastic beanstalk also supports the docker type. There are so many articles on the internet detailing the steps. you do not have to worry about centos.
Reference:
Django on Docler

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'django' while deploying to ElasticBeanstalk

Tried multiple solutions online but couldnt get it working !
Basically my application is deployed but http response is "Internal Server Error".
On investigating EB logs i found the following traceback.

My requirements.txt is placed in all directories and yet django module is not recognised. It seems it hasn't been installed at first place.
The file's contents are:
Django==2.2.1
Pillow==6.0.0
pytz==2019.1
sorl-thumbnail==12.5.0
sqlparse==0.3.0
Any help is appreciated.
EDIT1:
I dont have ebextentions setup, however the same config's are present when i run " eb config"
aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:python:

NumThreads: '15'

aws:elasticbeanstalk:environment:

ExternalExtensionsS3Bucket: null

Try adding your DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE and PYTHONPATH to the config
"aws:elasticbeanstalk:application:environment":
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE: "modelforms.settings"
"PYTHONPATH": "/opt/python/current/app/modelforms:$PYTHONPATH"
Also, check the Health dashboard and make sure it shows as deployed before testing

Flask app deployment - ImportError: No module named 'app'

Strange one - I've tried and tried to get this Flask app going - something seems to be going wrong.
$ pwd inside the Flask app gives:

I've tried a number of things, try except on the module import etc but nothing seems to work...can anyone help with this?

You likely need to tell mod_wsgi where your code is using the python-path option to WSGIDaemonProcess. Your import in the WSGI script file also looks wrong.
For python-path you likely want:
python-path=/home/winduplordvexxos/winduplordvexxos.com
The import should then be:
from windupflaskvexxos import app as application
or if app not pulled in by __init__.py, use:
from windupflaskvexxos.vexxos import app as application
Also read up on the preferred way of setting up a virtual environment with mod_wsgi. The way you are using is not the recommended way.

Usually, this error means there is an error in the Django project somewhere. It could be hard to locate.
You can try multiple solutions like:
1. Restart Apache
2. Execute makemigrations and migrate Django commands
3. Modify your wsgi.py file so you can manage the exception
A little note, in the line File "/home/abhadran/myenv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/apps/registry.py" indicate that you're using Python 3.6 and not Python 3.5 as you mentioned in your description.
Python 3.6 is officially supported until Django 1.11, so you maybe must upgrade your Django version or downgrade your Python in your venv.

Error deploying Django Application

I am trying to deploy my first Django application on a server with Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS.
I installed apache and something else:
apt-get install apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils libexpat1 ssl-cert
Then I installed wsgi module:
apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi
I edited the ports.conf to listen on port 8080, as I already have another server on port 80 where I host html+js+css resources (they are correctly available).
After this preparation step, I moved my Django application on the new Apache server, specifically into the html directory. Then edited the apache2.conf file by adding the following:
WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/html/MyProjectName/wsgi.py
WSGIPythonPath /var/www/html/MyProjectName
<Directory /var/www/html/MyProjectName>
<Files wsgi.py>
Require all granted
</Files>
</Directory>
The rest of configuration directives is the default I get after installing Apache with the given commands.
Then, I noticed that in the mods-available folder, I had the wsgi module, but not in the mods-enabled folder, so I created a symbolink link into this last folder.
When I start Apache, if I open localhost:8080, I get an internal server error. Accessing the error.log file, I see the following:

Where do I start understanding the problem?
My understanding is that somehow the Apache WSGI module is not working.
For completeness, the wsgi.py file I am pointing at looks like this:
import os
import sys
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "MyProjectName.settings")
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()
sys.path.append('/var/www/')
sys.path.append('/var/www/html/')
sys.path.append('/var/www/html/MyProjectName')
The settings file is as follow:
import os
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__))
SECRET_KEY = '<some_key_here>'
DEBUG = False
TEMPLATE_DEBUG = False
ALLOWED_HOSTS = []
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'anothercustomapp',
)
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.SessionAuthenticationMiddleware',
'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
)
ROOT_URLCONF = 'MyProjectName.urls'
WSGI_APPLICATION = 'MyProjectName.wsgi.application'
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'MyDatabaseName',

'PASSWORD' : '<password>',
}
}

}
LANGUAGE_CODE = 'it-IT'
TIME_ZONE = 'UTC'
USE_I18N = True
USE_L10N = True
USE_TZ = True
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
At the path /var/www/html/ I have the following structure:
A folder called MyProjectName, containing the wsgi.py file, as well as a settings.py file, urls.py and an empty init.py
A folder called anothercustomapp, containing urls, models, views and admin python files, other than an empty init.py
A folder called wadostuff, used to serialize to json and containing the same files as anothercustomapp (in terms of names)
================EDIT================
After installing Django and python-mysqldb with the following commands:
apt-get install python-setuptools
easy_install django
apt-get install python-mysqldb
I end up having the following error.log:
