eccleshall · Answer

Yeah its within

/var/www/example.com/src/khcards

so full path is

/var/www/example.com/src/khcards/wsgi.py

Andrew SB · Answer

Is there a wsgi.py file in you Django project? It doesn’t seem to be getting imported:


added /var/www/example.com/src/khcards to pythonpath.
ImportError: No module named khcards.wsgi
unable to load app 0 (mountpoint=‘’) (callable not found or import error)
*** no app loaded. going in full dynamic mode ***

Let me know if you would like anything else

Andrew SB · Answer

If you could provide some more information, it would make it easier for us to know what the issue might be. Could you post any error messages in your nginx and uwsgi logs? Following the tutorial that you linked, they would be in:

/var/www/example.com/logs/error.log
/var/log/uwsgi/example_project.log

The nginx log’s default location is /var/log/nginx/error.log
