Question

I’ve just deployed my application on dreamhost and it’s stopped working when uploading files. Passenger just produces a 500 internal error. It works on my development set up.
My passenger file looks like:

import sys, os
sys.path.append(os.getcwd())
sys.path.append(os.path.join(os.getcwd(), '/photosoc'))

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = "photosoc.settings"
import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

I get the standard 404 error(debug is still enabled). I have had to change my urls file though from:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url
from competition.models import Image
from competition import *
from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns
from django.conf import settings

# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()
admin.site.register(Image)

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # Examples:
    # url(r'^$', 'photosoc.views.home', name='home'),
    # url(r'^photosoc/', include('photosoc.foo.urls')),

    # Uncomment the admin/doc line below to enable admin documentation:
    # url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),

    # Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
#   url(r'^image/$', 'competition.views.index'),
    url(r'^image/uploadImage', 'competition.views.uploadImage'),
    url(r'^image/uploadCompleted', 'competition.views.uploadCompleted'),
    url(r'^image/uploadFailed', 'competition.views.uploadFailed'),
)

urlpatterns += patterns('',
    (r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}))

To the following:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url
from competition.models import Image
from competition import *
from django.contrib import admin
from django.conf import settings

# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()
admin.site.register(Image)

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # Examples:
    # url(r'^$', 'photosoc.views.home', name='home'),
    # url(r'^photosoc/', include('photosoc.foo.urls')),

    # Uncomment the admin/doc line below to enable admin documentation:
    # url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),

    # Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
#   url(r'^image/$', 'competition.views.index'),
    url(r'^image/uploadImage', 'competition.views.uploadImage'),
    url(r'^image/uploadCompleted', 'competition.views.uploadCompleted'),
    url(r'^image/uploadFailed', 'competition.views.uploadFailed'),
)

This is the only change I’ve made to the application from the switch from development to production. So what else could have gone wrong?

Are your settings exactly the same in what middleware classes your importing? Double check that these are the same.
