[Django]-Openshift: OSError Errno 98 can't update server

2👍

I found this post this afternoon by somebody having the same problem. It looks like Openshift changed some things on us. I didn’t get the memo :(.

@MSDOS, it is similar to your answer but I wanted to post the generic answer that is probably affecting most people.

For me, I just had to rename app.py (my old wsgi entry point) to wsgi.py and everything worked as it should. 🙂 Now I have to figure what they changed to the cron jobs 🙁

Solved by executing ‘rhc app force-stop’, then ‘rhc app start’. I don’t know what caused the problem, but force-stopping it killed the website, and it worked with the new code after starting it again.

I think I solved the problem.

I was using an old django repository, based on https://github.com/openshift/openshift-community-cartridge-python-3.3/blob/master/template/app.py (the link is dead, I mentioned here just for information).

In these old community cartridges, there was a app.py file that started CherryPy or httpd, but now the official django repository doesn’t have app.py anymore. (check https://github.com/openshift/django-example)

The app.py doesn’t exist anymore because httpd service was added automatically. That’s why we were having OSError: [Errno 98] Address already in use.

Removing the app.py from my repository solved the problem.

I was receiving error 500 because my Django application was having errors, not my Python cartridge. That’s why I wasn’t understanding what was happening. I did a find . -name *.log* in my cartridge and read all logs.

Now my app is working. Good luck!
