How do I troubleshoot my Django application on AWS?

I'm having trouble deploying my Django app on AWS. What should I check first?

First, ensure that your AWS EC2 instance is running and that your security groups allow traffic on the necessary ports, like 80 and 443.

I've checked that, but I'm still getting a 500 Internal Server Error. What could be the issue?

A 500 error often indicates a server-side issue. Check your Django logs for any error messages that could provide more insight.

I found a database connection error in the logs. How can I fix that?

Make sure your database settings in Django are correct, and that your database is accessible from your EC2 instance. Also, check your RDS security group settings.

Thanks! That helps a lot. What if I need to scale my application later?

You can consider using AWS Elastic Beanstalk for easier scaling, or set up an auto-scaling group with EC2 instances.
