I'm trying to setup a test Django project on Heroku. Following the advice [here](http://blog.abhiomkar.in/2011/09/17/deploying-django-on-heroku-mac-os-x/) and in the [Heroku Getting Started](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/python#declare_process_types_with_foremanprocfile) I'm trying to use `gunicorn` instead of the Django dev server.

This was my first attempt at the Procfile:

```
web: gunicorn_django --workers=4 --bind=0.0.0.0:$PORT my_project/settings.py
worker: python my_project/manage.py celeryd -E -B --loglevel=INFO

```

This gave me this error:

```
ImportError: Could not import settings 'settings.py' (Is it on sys.path?): No module named py

```

I decided to take a different track and followed the advice [here](http://v3.mike.tig.as/blog/2012/02/13/deploying-django-on-heroku/). Now my Procfile looked like this:

```
web: gunicorn_django -b 0.0.0.0:\$PORT -w 9 -k gevent --max-requests 250 --preload my_project.settings

```

(I also updated my requirements file to include gevent.) It gave me the same error:

```
ImportError: Could not import settings

```

Finally, I just set it to `settings`:

```
web: gunicorn_django -b 0.0.0.0:\$PORT -w 9 -k gevent --max-requests 250 --preload settings

```

But now I get this error:

```
Error: django project not found

```

The way my Django project is set up is that the `settings.py` file is in the parent directory of the repo -- I don't have the Django project under another directory. It's at the same level as the virtualenv and git files. Would that be a problem? I'm sure I'm doing something simple wrong -- any help would be much appreciated.

---

If I follow the instructions from Heroku [here](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/django) and change the Procfile to this:

```
web: gunicorn hellodjango.wsgi -b 0.0.0.0:$PORT

```

Nothing happens -- no errors in the logs, but no proceses run and the app just appears dead in the water.
