After following this tutorial to set up flask on nginx and uwsgi (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-serve-flask-applications-with-uwsgi-and-nginx-on-ubuntu-14-04) on Ubuntu 14.04, I managed to get the simple app to work, however when I replace my app with it (with the same name), I’m getting an internal server error. At first this was due to the modules, but this persisted after installing all required modules.

Logging uwsgi it says “no python application found, check your startup logs for errors”.

My python file (portal.py):

app = Flask(__name__, static_folder='static', static_url_path='/static')
app.secret_key = 'askaj3432sd'
app.config.update(
     DEBUG=True,
     PROPAGATE_EXCEPTIONS=True)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(threaded=True, host='0.0.0.0')

My wsgi.py:

from portal import app

if __name__ == "__main__":
   app.run()
