I am trying to run a Linux server configuration for a catalog project. I am using: Apache2, Flask, and SQLAlchemy and I had to install and configure PostgreSQL. The site I am trying to run is the Public IP Address: http://52.27.140.219/. I am happy to provide greater detail. I am new with Linux and many things discussed here, but I believe my work is strong, except for the end problem below.

Important steps in Terminal:

From: (venv)grader@ip-10-20-8-44:/var/www/catalog/catalog$ sudo service apache2 restart [sudo] password for grader: * Restarting web server apache2 [ OK ]

Don't use a relative path name to the file. Instead construct an absolute path name. This is needed because the current working directory of the process will not be where your code is located. Read:

So as Graham said, eventually, you end up with something like:
APP_PATH = '/var/www/catalog/ CLIENT_ID = json.loads(open(APP_PATH + 'client_secrets.json', 'r').read())['web']['client_id']
