Azure Web App - Error deploying python (django) application

Question

I'm trying to deploy using the github actions from this repository: https://github.com/ViniciusDevelopment/test-deployment

which is basically a modification of the standard project made available by Microsoft for testing and learning(link azure):

git clone https://github.com/Azure-Samples/msdocs-python-django-webapp-quickstart

The base project provided by the corporation performed well. However, when adding another app and executing the commit, several errors occur, from gateway to error 500

the log stream didn't give me any relevant information

I tried your code, made some changes, and was able to deploy it to Azure without any issues.

Ensure your wsgi.py correctly sets the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE to 'Quickproject.settings' and ensure your project structure is consistent. Make sure your packages are up to date.

Settings.py:

Here's the local Output:

After making the above changes to your code, I was able to deploy the app to Azure App Service using GitHub Actions successfully.
