Question
Need some help completing deployment of Django site on Nginx from local computer
I followed this tutorial for setting up uwsgi and Nginx on Ubunutu
The guide shows how to setup two fresh Django sites, I just did the first one and that is now working here
for the second site I want to deploy a Django blog I had built locally, put it on the same ip and serve it on port :8080 so then I followed this tutorial
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-deploy-a-local-django-app-to-a-vps
I have followed everything in the guide apart from the GUnicorn part as I believe I dont need that if I have Uwsgi.
Ive cloned my site there, setup psql, migrated the db and finally done collecstatic and they all seem to have worked without any problems, I can run the site and see it at :8080 if I do manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8080 but if I just go to that port normally then I get an ‘internal server error’.
The following is my setup for uwsgi and Nginx, its almost exactly the same as what I did for 'first site’ however I should add that the second tutorial had somethings a bit different for the Nginx server block setup which Im not sure if I need so I have commented those out (e.g. proxy_pass etc)
/etc/uwsgi/sites/codego.ini
[uwsgi]
project = codego
uid = david
base = /home/david
chdir = /home/david/codego/codego
home = /home/david/Env/codego
module = codego.wsgi:application
master = true
processes = 5
socket = /run/uwsgi/codego.sock
chown-socket = david:www-data
chmod-socket = 666
vacuum = true
/etc/systemd/system/uwsgi.service

server {
listen 8080;
server_name = 128.199.120.162;
location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location /static/ {
root /home/david/codego;
}
location / {
#proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8001;
#proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
#proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
#add_header P3P 'CP="ALL DSP COR PSAa PSDa OUR NOR ONL UNI COM NAV"';
include uwsgi_params;
uwsgi_pass unix:/run/uwsgi/codego.sock;
}
}
Ive been banging my head against this for hrs now and still can’t figure it out.
I should add btw that my wigs.py file was blank for some reason so I had to manually add that content there from local and also Nginx error logs dont seem to be logging anything for some reason.
Any advice would be appreciated, I think Im very close to finishing this setup!
