Hosting Django applicaton - Django uWSGI Nginx Server Config

Question

Im following this tutorial to the letter but I’m having problems with the application I’m getting 502 Nginx error

http://blog.richard.do/index.php/2013/04/setting-up-nginx-django-uwsgi-a-tutorial-that-actually-works/#comment-116

could someone help? I’ve been trying to rectify this for sometime now but i can see a way of fixing it. so thought id ask here.

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

Andrew SB · Answer

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