Question

I’m working on a django app and trying to use foreman to test my app locally before pushing to heroku. I can successfully run it using python manage.py server. However when running it using forman it fails – Whenever I do a foreman start inside of the directory it would return me this:

09:21:09 web.1  | started with pid 9956
09:21:09 web.1  | /usr/local/foreman/bin/foreman-runner: line 41: exec: gunicorn: not found
09:21:09 web.1  | exited with code 127
09:21:09 system | sending SIGTERM to all processes
SIGTERM received

What does this mean?

Below is my Procfile:

web: gunicorn myapp.wsgi

Below is my requirements.txt

Django==1.4.3
distribute==0.6.31
dj-database-url==0.2.1
psycopg2==2.4.6
#wsgiref==0.1.2
gunicorn==0.16.1

Thanks for the help in advance!

It looks like gunicorn isn’t installed properly on your system.
Run pip install -r requirements.txt and then manually run the gunicorn command to check it works.
