It's now called service and gcloud will issue a warning if you use module.

For all my efforts, I haven’t been able to make use of dispatch.yaml. A working example would be helpful.

I am using google app engine with the django framework.

I have two modules: default and helloworld

the app.yaml is as follows:

application: myapp
version: release
runtime: python27
api_version: 1
threadsafe: yes

handlers:
- url: /favicon.ico
  static_files: static/favicon.ico
  upload: static/favicon.ico
- url: /robots.txt
  static_files: static/robots.txt
  upload: static/robots.txt
- url: /static
  static_dir: static
- url: /_ah/queue/deferred
  script: google.appengine.ext.deferred.deferred.application
  login: admin
- url: /.*
  script: myapp.wsgi.application
  secure: always

I want all the myapp.appspot.com/helloworld/* will be routed to the helloworld module.

The dispatch.yaml is as follows:

application: myapp
dispatch:
- url: "*/helloworld/*"
  module: helloworld

Here is helloworld.yaml:

application: myapp
module: helloworld
version: 1
runtime: python27
api_version: 1
threadsafe: true
instance_class: B2
basic_scaling:
  max_instances: 3

handlers:
- url: /favicon.ico
  static_files: static/favicon.ico
  upload: static/favicon.ico
- url: /robots.txt
  static_files: static/robots.txt
  upload: static/robots.txt
- url: /static
  static_dir: static
- url: /_ah/queue/deferred
  script: google.appengine.ext.deferred.deferred.application
  login: admin
- url: /.*
  script: myapp.wsgi.application
  secure: always

However, when the coming url is myapp.appspot.com/helloworld/*, the page will be redirected to the login page. and the log shows /_ah/start 404.

I have seen the similar question in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25978198/appengine-module-routing-with-dispatch-yaml-not-working which modifies wsgi config with webapp2 framework.

Here is my wsgi.py

import os, sys
sys.path.append(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), os.pardir, 'libs'))

os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "myapp.settings")

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()

I use appcfg update app.yaml helloworld.yaml and appcfg update_dispatch . to upload these settings.

How can I import this helloworld module correctly with the django framework?

Thank you.

I'm still trying to get a feel for how subdomains would get dispatched. The official documentation goes into detail with versions, modules and app-id but doesn't clarify how I set it up for simple things like account.domain.com and www.domain.com to route to different modules.

I tried to deploy the code in my own GAE.
the backend is working well : http://static-backend.belhassen-moduletest.appspot.com/
but the mobile front end (http://mobile-frontend.belhassen-moduletest.appspot.com/)
generates the following error:
Error: Server Error
The server encountered an error and could not complete your request.
Please try again in 30 seconds.

Could you please assist me to bypass this problem

It’s not:
$PATH_TO_SDK/update_dispatch .
Perhaps you mean:
$PATH_TO_SDK/appcfg.py update_dispatch .
