Django: What is the difference between manage.py and gunicorn project.wsgi

Question

I deployed a django project and everything works great on manage.py, but when I run the default gunicorn server via gunicorn projectname.wsgi, the registration form cannot be submitted and there is a 502 Bad Request Error.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

manage.py runserver seems to boot the celery workers automatically while gunicorn.wsgi does not. Booting all the workers fixed the problem.

Thanks for the comments!
