Setting up Django on AWS Elastic Beanstalk: WSGIPath not found

Question

I've been trying for several days now to set up Django under Amazon Web Services' Elastic Beanstalk. I think the problem I'm hitting is this one: ``` ERROR - Your WSGIPath refers to a file that does not exist. ``` I followed the tutorial here and all goes well until the end of Step 6, but I can't for the life of me get anything to display other than the generic Elastic Beanstalk page from Step 5, #2. When I run ``` ./manage.py runserver ``` on my local machine, everything works as it should, but I can't get that page to deploy. I first tried with a small Django site I wrote myself. It didn't work, so I deleted everything I'd done and tried again, that didn't work, so I deleted all that and tried again with a fresh django install. I tried that a bunch of times fiddling with little things, but I think I'm missing something major. I added a python.config file as described in this tutorial. Here's my file structure: ``` -.git/ -.mysite/ -myapp/ -__init__.py -models.py -tests.py -views.py…

The ".ebextensions" directory must be in the root level directory of your application, but from the log output, the directory is instead in the "mysite/.ebextensions" directory. So for example, after following the django tutorial in the docs when you run "git aws.push" your root directory would look like this:

```
.
├── .ebextensions
│   └── python.config
├── .elasticbeanstalk
│   ├── config
├── .git
├── .gitignore
├── manage.py
├── mysite
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── settings.py
│   ├── urls.py
│   └── wsgi.py
└── requirements.txt
```

Instead of this:

```
.
└── mysite
    ├── .ebextensions
    ├── .elasticbeanstalk
    ├── .git
    ├── .gitignore
    ├── manage.py
    ├── mysite
    └── requirements.txt
```
