Porting Django model to OpenShift

Question

I have a model which I'm keen to integrate to my open shift platform. The issue I'm having is that my view imports the model, but this causes a failure, but this should be pretty standard. I cannot see what the error from the log is - but I don't get any rendering of anything on screen, 500 error.

rhc tail amycoolapp doesn't provide much guidance to error? Where can I find more errors the rhc tail simply shows the python.log - is there another log that I can use that contains more information?
from django.db import models works when included in models.py which in turn is included in views.py.
Including a class definition causes the failure ( class Test(models.Model): s="hello"). It seems the use of models.Model is an issue.
My directory structure is such that models.py and views.py at at the same level in a directory under the app name.
In settings.py we have: INSTALLED_APPS = ('amycoolapp',) which is the name of the app and the folder that views.py and models.py sits in.
Managed to get some logging out: [Wed Jul 30 14:23:30 2014] [error] [client 127.8.250.1] ImportError: No module named 'amycoolapp'

I switched on logging so I get the following when I include the dummy model class in my views.py

IndexError at /

Django Version: 1.6.5

Any suggestions? It fails with the addition of:

from django.db import models

class Test(models.Model):
    s = 'hello'

Do you have this ( ALLOWED_HOSTS = [*] ) in your setting.py ? — Alireza Sanaee, Jul 30 '14 at 13:57
OpenShift django projects are somewhat tricky. Did you move just an application to a brand new django project in openshift or did you move your entire project? — Luis Masuelli, Jul 30 '14 at 20:28
@LuisMasuelli I have a django app and I'm piece my piece building it up to run in OpenShift. — disruptive, Jul 30 '14 at 21:01
So it's the exact clone? I ask it because the django project generated by the django cartridge has not the same structure than a normal django project. There are many times when the openshift version expects the app to be in another directory. — Luis Masuelli, Jul 30 '14 at 21:14
