Django channels not working on the production environment

I recently deployed a websocket chat app that I developed with Django channels. It works perfectly fine on my local computer even without Daphne web server, but it does not work on production. I followed the docs and installed Daphne, added the configuration on my ProcFile and it still does not work, all I get is a 404 error on every websocket request when I debug. I noticed that my app is still being served with Gunicorn instead of Daphne. Please what am I not doing correctly?

Javascript console error: WebSocket connection to 'wss://sitename.up.railway.app/ws/api/chats/create/?token=750e80203245ee5db475006b6229ca391f836f0f12983939330237' failed:

do you have a repo please?

yes i have a private repository

okay screenshot of the repos files please?

here it is

I see the issue, but first, what is the file named railway for?

It is autogenerated

I didn’t put that there

Please where am I wrong ?

ProcFile --> Procfile

wrong letter casing

Oh 🤦🏽‍♂️ I’d change that now and try again : )

small nit pick, you have gunicorn in your requirements but are using daphne, you could remove gunicorn right? the less dependencies the faster the build 🙂

Thank you very much I renamed procfile and it worked 🫡

definitely I’d be removing gunicorn now, Although daphne is very slow don’t know how to fasten it 🥲
