Hi there, django deploys can be tricky, we've all been there!

Have you come across this guide? http://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/DebuggingImportError -- it has steps for hunting down the reasons for most problems...

i have tried to follow http://cookiecutter-django.readthedocs.io/en/latest/deployment-on-pythonanywhere.html

I am now getting this error super(Connection, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs2) django.db.utils.OperationalError: (2002, "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysql d.sock' (2)")

Are you giving your webapp the correct mysql hostname? It's not on localhost. Check your databases page for the host.
