Unable to access Bitnami Django web app using run server of mod_wsgi

I am not sure what I am missing here to get Django running on Google Compute Engine and access it publicly. I am starting with Django packaged by Bitnami since it seems like it would be easy...

I have been following this Getting Started Guide to get a running instance of Django running on Google Compute Engine.

Django Packaged By Bitnami For Google Cloud Platform

It successfully deploys and I see the Bitnami page. I am unable to get pass this point even with the simple example of hello world in their guide. I have used both ./manage.py runserver and serving through Apache Web server with the module mod_wsgi for my project.

Test Your Django Project The Django project can be started by using this command from the /opt/bitnami/projects/PROJECT directory, and it will run on port 8000:

cd /opt/bitnami/projects/PROJECT python manage.py runserver To access the application, browse to http://SERVER-IP:8000/. To end the application, terminate the running Django process.

I have completed a Django Project that I can test and run locally. Getting something basic on Google Compute Engine, is another story.

In addition to @John Hanley, you can also try to deploy to “Deployment manager". I tested it on my environment, it's working properly. And the VPC network port is automatically configured tcp:443 & tcp:80 to my djangostack instance.

You can also follow this step, how to step by step to deploy from Deployment Manager

  1. Open your GCP Account > Deployment Manager

  2. Click + DEPLOY MARKETPLACE SOLUTION

  3. Search Django to Marketplace > Click Django packaged by Bitnami > LAUNCH

  4. Configure Django instance as your requirements

  5. Deploy

And also if you're not using the "Deployment Manager", you can create firewall rule from VPC network as per @John Hanley.
