How to debug Two Scoops of Django project skeleton on production server running gunicorn

Question

I don't get a traceback from the Two Scoops project (https://github.com/twoscoops/django-twoscoops-project).

I'm running a Ubuntu 12.04 production server on Virtualbox and I setup gunicorn. I'm trying to learn how to setup a production server so I can host it on Digital Ocean. So far, I've been able to get gunicorn to run by typing this in /myproject/myproject/ (the same directory as my manage.py):

gunicorn wsgi # run this in the same directory as wsgi.py

Then I type:

curl localhost:8000

But I only get back:

<\h1\> Whoops! <\h1>

I did the following:

export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=myproject.settings.production

But I still get the same "whoops" page. Any thoughts on how I can get the Python traceback or Django debug page to work?

Answer 1

I figured out how to turn on the debugging in a production setup.

You have to goto /settings/base.py and set DEBUG = True. It was False by default.
