I have been able to deploy django projects using: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/create-deploy-python-django.html , which is deployment from terminal on my mac. But I haven’t been able to do it by uploading a zip file. “ebdjango” is the name of my project. django.config contains:
option_settings:
aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:python:
WSGIPath: ebdjango.wsgi:application
requirements.txt contains:
asgiref==3.7.2
Django==4.2.9
sqlparse==0.4.4
typing_extensions==4.9.0
I am not sure if there is something wrong with how I create the zip file because i get the warning message: “Configuration files cannot be extracted from the application version ebdjango. Check that the application version is a valid zip or war file.” What I do is I compress .ebextensions, ebdjango manage.py and requirements.txt . When I open the zip file there is a root folder with the same name as the zip file and that folder contains .ebextensions, ebdjango manage.py and requirements.txt . Is it supposed to be like that or is everything supposed to be extracted from the zip when i open it without a parent folder? Is this why I can’t deploy my django project to elasticbeanstalk?
Use the zip command to create a source package. To include hidden files and folders, use the pattern shown below.
~/myapp$ zip ../myapp.zip -r * .[^.]*
