[Python] 404 error on Python App deployment on CPanel

Python==3.11.11 (server ver) Django==5.1.1

Hello, today I was to deploy my app on CPanel, and everything goes fine until the end, because when configurations are all done, the page put an 404 error:

Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to
handle the request.


I create the app. Make the MySQL database, do migrations just fine. Also changes some configurations on database, allow_hosts and static root in setting.py:

This is djangocrud.urls:

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import include, path

urlpatterns = [
path('__reload__/', include('django_browser_reload.urls')),
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('', include('main.urls')),
path('auth/', include('dashboard.urls')),
path('auth/', include('billing.urls')),
path('auth/', include('teaching.urls')),


And this is dashboard.urls:

from django.urls import path
from .views import dashboard_admins, dashboard_teachers, dashboard_students, teachers, students, subjects, schedules, edit

urlpatterns = [
path('dashboard-admins', dashboard_admins, name='dashboard-admins'),
path('dashboard-teachers', dashboard_teachers, name='dashboard-teachers'),
path('dashboard-students', dashboard_students, name='dashboard-students'),
path('teachers', teachers, name='teachers'),
path('students', students, name='students'),
path('subjects', subjects, name='subjects'),
path('schedules', schedules, name='schedules'),
path('edit', edit, name='edit'),
]


For default, the server guides the user to …/auth/dashboard-admins, if the user is not login, then redirect to login page. But login page doesn’t work either. I try to change the path, to put it on djangocrud.urls file but nothing change.

My views.py:

from django.shortcuts import redirect, render
from .models import CustomUser, Teachers, Students, Guardians, Subjects, Courses, Sections, Schedules, Tuition, SchoolPeriod

# Create your views here.
# Some variables here...

def auth_user(request) -> bool:
if request.user.is_authenticated:
# Do something for authenticated users.
return True
else:
return False


def dashboard_admins(request):
if auth_user(request) == True:
# Here are data to save on db
# ...
if request.method == 'GET':
s_count = s_user.count()
return render(request, 'dashboard_admins.html',{
'scounts': s_count,
'tuser': t_user,
'suser': s_user,
})
else:
try:
Subjects.objects.bulk_create(subj_list)
Sections.objects.bulk_create(sect_list)
Courses.objects.bulk_create(cour_list)
SchoolPeriod.objects.create(period='2024-2025').save()
print('Datos creados')
return redirect('/auth/dashboard-admins')
except:
print('Fallo en la creacion de datos')
return redirect('/auth/dashboard-admins')
else:
return redirect('../login')

from dashboard.views import dashboard_admins


login view:

# Create your views here.
def home(request):
# return render(request, 'pages/login.html')
return redirect(dashboard_admins)

def log_in(request):
if request.method == 'GET':
return render(request, 'pages/login.html')
else:
user = emailBackend.authenticate(request, username=request.POST.get('email'), password=request.POST.get('password'))

if user != None:
login(request, user)
return redirect(dashboard_admins)
else:
return HttpResponse('Login invalido')


def log_out(request):
logout(request)
return redirect(home)


If someone can give me a hand, I will appreciate.

This are my folders:



And I refers to wsgi.py file on the passenger_wsgi.py file:

from djangocrud.wsgi import application


If you need more information, please let me know. The app was working on localhost until today that I try to put it on a server.
