Internal server error setting up django app

Posted on July 10, 2014

I’m setting up a new django app and all I see on my IP is ‘Internal server error’. I need to troubleshoot but can’t find any relevant error logs — /var/log/nginx and /var/log/gunicorn show me nothing. Can someone please guide me to the proper error log? thanks

I figured out my errors but only after I found my gunicorn error log. The whole time I thought that if any errors occurred, they would be in /var/log/gunicorn/ (which was empty), but it turns out they are in /var/log/upstart/gunicorn.log which wasn’t at all obvious.
