Hi there,
It looks like that you have the /C:/ci/cffi_1625831756778/work hardcoded either in your environment variables or somewhere in your code. I would recommend adjusting this to be a relative path rather than an absolute one.
That way when you deploy your project to a different server rather than your local Windows PC, the path would not have to be adjusted.
Also as a side note, here is a very good tutorial on how to deploy Django to the App platform:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-deploy-django-to-app-platform
Let me know how it goes. Best, Bobby
The same issue happened with me!
Hey there!
Looking through your output it looks like this may have been configured with a specific directory or file that can’t be found. Did you make any changes from the tutorial that could account for the C:/ci/cffi1625831756778/work directory?
