Hi Mario,
Thanks for your reply.
The link you sent is thorough.
I'm getting an error when I first run gunicorn. This line:

$ gunicorn hello.wsgi:application --bind example.com:8001

The error is:
ImproperlyConfigured: The SECRET_KEY setting must not be empty.

But my SECRET_KEY is set. 
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
