Here is my concern:

How do I  run manage.py from AWS EB which is Elastic Beanstalk Linux instance?

I have tried this : '/opt/python/current/app', I get below mentioned exception.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./manage.py", line 8, in <module>
    from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
ImportError: No module named django.core.management

can anyone help?

Answer 1

following are the ways to do the same:

1. SSH login to Linux
2. Run source /opt/python/run/venv/bin/activate
3. Run source /opt/python/current/env
4. Run cd /opt/python/current/app
5. Run manage.py <commands>

Following command may also just about help:

1. Run cd /opt/python/current/app
2. Run /opt/python/run/venv/bin/python manage.py <command>

The whole point of EB is to automate deployment and not have to SSH into a machine
