Wagtail ignoring settings such as ALLOWED_HOSTS

I'm running nginx, gunicorn and wagtail on Ubuntu 16.04. I am not using virtualenv. Both nginx and gunicorn seem to work just fine but when I go to my domain in a browser (let's say myweb.com) I get a disallowed host error.

This seems like a simple problem but I have already added myweb.com as an allowed host in base.py like so: ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['myweb.com']. It even says in the request information that myweb.com is an allowed host in the settings file but it seems like wagtail is just ignoring that. I also tried turning debug off in the dev settings but it still showed me the debug screen.

Edit: The specific error message is (with myweb.com instead of the actual domain): 

DisallowedHost at /

There was quite a bit more information on the page but I think this is everything that might be relevant to the problem

Gunicorn needed to be restarted. I don't know if it's supposed to work like this but on my setup it seems like Gunicorn always needs to be restarted to detect changes made to the project files.
