ubuntu + nginx + uwsgi + django No Python application found

Question

I am trying to setup my server with a nginx to uwsgi to django stack, but I am having problems with the uwsgi part.

When I run uwsgi and pass in all the parameters on the command line, it works properly. My uwsgi call looks like this:

uwsgi --socket /tmp/uwsgi.sock --chdir ~/web/test.com --wsgi-file ~/web/test.com/store/wsgi.py --virtualenv ~/web/test.com/testenv --chmod-socket=666 --enable-threads

I then copied those parameters into an ini file that looks like this:

# django.ini file
[uwsgi]
master          = true 
socket          = /tmp/uwsgi.sock
chmod-socket    = 666
chdir           = /home/ubuntu/web/test.com
wsgi_file       = /home/ubuntu/web/test.com/store/wsgi.py
virtualenv      = /home/ubuntu/web/test.com/causumptionenv
vacuum          = true
enable-threads  = true

However, when I run uwsgi with the django.ini file, I get this output.

Most notable are the lines "no app loaded. going in full dynamic mode and no python application found, check your startup logs for errors

So my question is, whats the difference between passing the parameters on the command line and passing them through an ini file?

Answer 1

It 's wsgi-file not wsgi_file, command line options and file options are always the same

Answer 2

aptitude install uwsgi-plugin-python

and then restart uwsgi you will see the correct page.

Answer 3

Just to add to the overall confusion concerning uwsgi & django here is an ini file that works for me.

It works with http & http-socket but NOT socket.

it is designed to run with multiple settings files in a directory settings a'la two scoops of django multiple deployment files ( which is why I was testing)

so ---/velocity is the 'home' project directory where manage.py lives. /velocity/velocity/settings/dev_settings_chris_l.py is the actual settings file

THis all needs to be done because you need to be able to stear the correct settings files from outside of the django code and thus can't have lines setting DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE inside wsgi.py or indeed manage.py (use django-admin)

There is a lot of discussion about this sort of thing with various error messages reported. Hopefully althou' not entirely relevant to the question it might help someone.

Answer 4

Check if u deleted any __init__.py file from the Django apps. As Django uses them to know which folders are apps, so they are kind of important.
