This might seem like an already asked question but I have searched for an answer for a week now and got nothing. The problem is I have developed an API using Django which is hosted on a server. Now when I run the following command to initiate the server :

python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:9000

The server starts as usual. Its only when I send request to the server via "Postman" that I see the following error:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'manage.py'

The strange thing is there is no error in running the server but only when I send a request to it. Also I have many more Django APIs running on the same server with same python version(Python 3.4.3) and same virtual environment (but different port) that are running just fine.

Full error traceback :

Things I have tried:

  • I have tried changing the !# as suggested on various posts.
  • I have tried using dos2unix to convert the file to unix format(server on which my API is hosted is linux based).
  • I even have tried to create a new Django project.
  • And yes I'm running manage.py from the correct directory.

  • I have also tried making manage.py executable by :

    chmod +x manage.py

Nothing worked for me so far. Am I missing something?

    DO NOT use the dev server for production !!! it's a DEVELOPPER tool only, it's absolutely NOT made to be used in production. Use a proper frontend web server and wsgi connector instead. – bruno desthuilliers Aug 24 '18 at 10:42
  • @brunodesthuilliers I'm not quite sure what you are suggesting. Can you be more clear?. Thanks a lot for helping! – Anupam Singh Aug 27 '18 at 09:09
  • What I'm suggesting is that you STOP USING THE DEVSERVER in production - it was never designed for this - and USE A PROPER DEPLOYMENT SETUP instead (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/howto/deployment/). – bruno desthuilliers Aug 27 '18 at 09:17
