Django deployment onto AWS EC2 /w Nginx. Bad Request(400)

[stone compass]

I'm getting a bad request(400) on my website.
I've been following this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7O1H9kr1CsA
This video helped a lot and I got everything going, but at the end I get a bad request.
I have tried deploying my website through other means, but I got a bad request for that as well.
So I think the problem has to do with the actual django website? Maybe theres a problem with HTTP?
This is my website github repo:
https://github.com/theodorechoi123/WebsiteT
This is my first website and am still learning, but if anyone could help that would be amazing!

Did you update your ALLOWED_HOSTS setting?

[stone compass]

yes

@pseudo sandal

i just did

i thought that was it but i still get bad request

and im restarting the nginx server as well

with the new changes

[pseudo sandal]

Did you restart the web server process like gunicorn?

[stone compass]

i didnt' try that

[pseudo sandal]

You might get more info running python manage.py test --debug-mode

[stone compass]

how do i restart it?

[pseudo sandal]

How did you start it?

[stone compass]

what do you mean start it?

start the website?

should i reboot the aws instance?

@pseudo sandal

[pseudo sandal]

I mean what did you do to get the gunicorn process to start the first time? Was it something like systemd?

[stone compass]

no i dont think i did that

oh

i used supervisor

i would have supervisor update the gunicorn.conf

[pseudo sandal]

Alright, cool. Search for how to restart a process with supervisor

[stone compass]

so I'm trying to restart gunicorn / supervisor

but theres a permission barrier

if i do : service supervisor restart

==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.systemd1.manage-units ===
Authentication is required to restart 'supervisor.service'.
Authenticating as: Ubuntu (ubuntu)
Password:

do you know anything about this?

@pseudo sandal

[pseudo sandal]

You want to tell supervisor to restart specific processes, not restart supervisor.

supervisorctl restart gunicorn or something like that

[stone compass]

yea i tried that too

i get permission denied

error: <class 'PermissionError'>, [Errno 13] Permission denied: file: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/supervisor/xmlrpc.py line: 560

[pseudo sandal]

Odd. Without knowing more about how the server is setup I can't really help a ton

[stone compass]

i was just following the video, but it was smooth for him when he deployed it. I still get the bad request tho

not sure either

[pseudo sandal]

Well you need to test whether your code changes are being picked up.

If you're not sure, you can't reasonably debug this

Did you ever run the test command?

[stone compass]

do u mean the command u said?

python manage.py test --debug-mode

i ran this

i think i neeed to run it again tho

System check identified no issues (0 silenced).

Ran 0 tests in 0.000s

OK

I got it working now

tbh im not sure how i got the server starting, but i did these commands:
sudo nginx -t
sudo service nginx restart

and now my website it deployed but now the problem is that the style sheet isn't changing the style of the website

[pseudo sandal]

Odd, I don't know what I expected haha

[pseudo sandal]

Sounds like you need to run the collectstatic command

[stone compass]

yeah i just did that

lmao

but i didnt add a STATIC_ROOT

im looking up some stuff but how would I do it for AWS?

is it like:

[pseudo sandal]

Use the Django storages app
