Question

Following AWS instructions for (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/create-deploy-python-django.html)

Currently trying to run "eb deploy" with the following output:

    Creating application version archive "app-220413_141345835306".
Uploading: [##################################################] 100% Done...

ERROR: ServiceError - Failed to deploy application.

In the logs I see:

2022/04/13 20:00:19.230141 [INFO] finished extracting /opt/elasticbeanstalk/deployment/app_source_bundle to /var/app/staging/ successfully

r: chown /var/app/staging/venv/bin/python: no such file or directory 

Any ideas what to do? I have no idea where that path is coming from

Th second answer here worked for me: AWS Elastic Beanstalk chown PythonPath error

I added a file caled .ebignore into my main project directory:

~/ebdjango/
|-- .ebignore
|-- .ebextensions
|   `-- django.config
|-- ebdjango
|   |-- __init__.py
|   |-- settings.py
|   |-- urls.py
|   `-- wsgi.py
|-- db.sqlite3
|-- manage.py
`-- requirements.txt

the contents of the file are only one line:

venv
