App (Python Django, PostgreSql) is deployed successfully on Heroku, but I'm getting error when trying to open

Question

I have successfully deployed Python/Django app called MyPortfolio in Heroku. But when I am trying to open it gives me an error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'jobs'
The project folder is MeryPortfolio-project. The project name is MeryPortfolio. Application name is jobs. So Heroku can't find the module for the application.

The case is: I have tried to make local and production settings. Local settings I use when I start the local server. Production settings are used in Heroku with the command:

heroku config:set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=MeryPortfolio-project.MeryPortfolio.settings.production

The directories are:

'MeryPortfolio-project'
    /'MeryPortfolio':
        ___init__.py
        settings.py
        urls.py
        wsgi.py
        /settings:
            __init__.py
            base.py
            local.py
            production.py

These are logs when I try to open the app (heroku open)

# Configure Django App for Heroku.
django_heroku.settings(locals())

Please help to understand where resides the problem with the app opening.

In Python you can't have a package/module with dashes (-) in it. In that case:

DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=MeryPortfolio-project.MeryPortfolio.settings.production

should not work.

In your tree structure I can't see where jobs app is located and where is your manage.py file. Also you are not telling us how you are starting the WEB server in heroku.

From my knowledge I'm guessing that the structure is as follows:

'MeryPortfolio-project'
    /'MeryPortfolio':
        ...
    /'jobs':
        ...
    'manage.py'

In this case your settings module should be only MeryPortfolio.settings.production. If manage.py is inside MeryPortfolio-project and you are starting the project with manage.py runserver (which is bad for production) it will automatically add MeryPortfolio-project in python path. If you are using gunicorn or something else you need to ensure that MeryPortfolio-project is added to python path

Yes, your understanding of the structure is correct. Also, I have renamed all directories to replace the uppercases with lowercases and to remove dashes, so MeryPortfolio-project became portfolioproject, MeryPortfolio became meryportfolio, etc So manage.py resides in portfolioproject. The same is for directories jobs and meryportfolio - they are located in portfolioproject. But it gave me the same error when I've done deploy, release and try to open the app. The only thing what I didn't do is to add portfolioproject to Python path. I will try that. Thank you.

Your changes are good and follow PEP8. When you try it please tell us if it is working.

It gave the same errors on Heroku. So I've decided to use DigitalOcean and fortunately, I've succeeded and everything works perfectly there :). Although, I will try to upload to Heroku another Python Django site which I've created, and I will post the results here. Thank everybody for your advice.

I could see this error:

2019-07-18T12:54:14.745087+00:00 app[web.1]: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'jobs'

There is 503 Service Unavailable, which means the error is not deploy- related I believe, have you try this code locally, it's most likely is forgotten module export or something like that, I am not a python dev?

Yes, the whole code works Okay locally. But when I've deployed it doesn't work. I suppose it is something related to configs but I couldn't find it yet.
