uwsgi complains about python application not found

Question

looks like quite common with uWSGI application, but still can't find any valuable solution.

I ma working on ubuntu 12.04 with uwsgi 1.0.3 and python2.7

Here is my config.ini file:

  [uwsgi]
  uid = www-data
  gid = www-data
  pythonpath = /path/to/my/application
  plugins = python27
  module = launcher.py
  workers = 2
  vacuum = True
  max-requests = 1000000
  harakiri = 120
  harakiri-verbose = true
  need-app = true
  buffer-size = 32768
  listen = 200
  master-as-root = true
  max-fd = 10240
  #memory-report = true
  #stats = /tmp/stats.socket
  chown-socket = www-data

All I got from the log files is:

  [uWSGI] getting INI configuration from /usr/share/uwsgi/conf/default.ini
  [uWSGI] getting INI configuration from /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/my_application.ini

I don't find any way to launch it manually (on foreground, without daemonizing; I have read the doc here but the option --wsgi-file to sepcify the configuration file does not work) or to increase the verbosity.

I have spend hours parsing google and the uwsgi doc to find my way out, any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT:

It looks like uwsgi is starting now, and loading the cherrypy application behind. But at this point, it crashes with the error message:

CherryPy Checker:
The Application mounted at '' has an empty config.

Tue May  6 14:40:57 2014 - uWSGI worker 2 screams: UAAAAAAH my master disconnected: i will kill myself !!!

I run this command:

uwsgi my_application.ini

My uwsgi version is now 2.0.4;

Do I have missed some step somewhere? Many thanks for your help
