aws elastic beans container commands

Question

I am trying to copy Apache server setup file wsgi.conf to httpd/conf.d folder when deploying myapp via elastic beanstalk. However, after deployment, if I sftp to httpd/conf.d I don't see my file.

myapp folder structure:

myapp/ - .ebextension --- configuration.conf - folderx - foldery - wsgi.conf 

in the configuration.conf file i have the following:

container_commands: 04_wsgireplace: command: "cp ../wsgi.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/wsgi.conf" 

after deployment, in the eb deployment logs I see success for the copy command.

1. are the relative paths I'm using correct?
2. what am I doing wrong?

PS. What I want to achieve is set a rewrite rule for http --> https re-directions. Is there an alternative solution for this?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I wish I could find something more official, but I did find several references (1,2) to folks using something like this:

container_commands: 04_wsgireplace: command: "cp wsgi.conf ../wsgi.conf" 

or

container_commands: 04_wsgireplace: command: "cp .ebextensions/wsgi.conf ../wsgi.conf" 

It depends on where in your project you've stored wsgi.conf, I assume. I'm about to try it myself (for a flask project), and I'll report back!

Update: I tried it out (with wsgi.conf in .ebextensions), and it worked (for me).
