Here is an image of my project structure. The project is located inside the HerokuBoothie catalog.

Profile:

web: gunicorn HerokuBoothie.wsgi --log-file -

Answer 1

I think this is due to your project structure; if you follow the heroku guide that you have an error ( foreman start part), your directory structure will look like this:

 hellodjango/ manage.py Procfile hellodjango/ __init__.py settings.py urls.py wsgi.py venv/ bin/ include/ lib/ 

You can see that your structure is a little different; your structure has an additional HerokuBoothie directory. I think restructuring your project (something like mv ~/Development/Django/HerokuBoothie/HerokuBoothie/* ~/Development/Django/HerokuBoothie and removing the empty HerokuBoothie dir) will solve this problem, but you may have to change some codes if you use absolute paths in your codes.

Answer 2

You have to install pythonpath since your HerokuBoothie module is in a different folder:

 web: gunicorn HerokuBoothie.wsgi --pythonpath ../HerokuBoothie --log-file -
