Question
Django doesn't reflect changes made to settings.py in production
I successfully got my Django application my server. However, I realized that I accidentally left DEBUG=True in my settings.py file. I tried setting DEBUG=False in the file, but the website won’t reflect that change. I also tried doing sudo service nginx restart but that didn’t put the change on the website. What do I need to do to get the change in effect?
As an additional note, I followed the tutorial below to get my project into production.

I’m having this issue. Usually I use this command after making changes in production:
But DEBUG is still showing as True even though in my settings.py file it is set to False.
