Django with postgresql deployment on aws elastic beanstalk

Question

I’ve been trying to deploy a django application with postgresql db on aws elastic beanstalk and i ran into many issues that i surfed and solved. Now the application uploads fine however the environment is still not green and I constantly am receiving 502 bad gateway nginx. I’ve checked nginx logs which say 111 connection refused etc. I’ve tried changed the port to 8001 from 8000 but didn’t work out. Somebody please guide me on how to deploy my application successfully.
