Setup Multiple Django Websites on Django One Click Install Image VPS

Refer to this article for the specifics on how the the Django one-click app is configured:

How To Use the Django One-Click Install Image

Copy the Nginx configuration for your new site:

cp /etc/nginx/sites-available/django /etc/nginx/sites-available/site2
ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/site2 /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/site2

Then edit its contents to match where you installed your new Django app:

upstream app_server {
    server 127.0.0.1:9500 fail_timeout=0;
}

server {
    listen 80 default_server;
    listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;

    root /usr/share/nginx/html;
    index index.html index.htm;

    client_max_body_size 4G;
    server_name www.mysite2.com;

    keepalive_timeout 5;

    # Your Django project's media files - amend as required
    location /media  {
        alias /home/django/new_project/new_app/media;
    }

    # your Django project's static files - amend as required
    location /static {
        alias /home/django/new_project/new_app/static; 
    }

    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_pass http://app_server;
    }
}

Do the same for the Upstart script used to start gunicorn:

cp /etc/init/gunicorn.conf /etc/init/new_site.conf

And change the port and path for the project:

description "Gunicorn daemon for Django project"

start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE=eth0)
stop on runlevel [!12345]

# If the process quits unexpectedly trigger a respawn
respawn

setuid django
setgid django
chdir /home/django

exec gunicorn \
    --name=new_project \
    --pythonpath=new_project \
    --bind=0.0.0.0:9500 \
    --config /etc/gunicorn.d/gunicorn.py \
    django_project.wsgi:application

You should now be able to start your project with:

service nginx restart
service new_site start

Notice that the way you start the project is determined by the name you give the Upstart script.

Hope this points you in the right direction! Let us know how it goes.

The one-click install for Ubuntu 16.04 is set-up a little differently. I do not see a gunicorn.conf file in etc/init directory and the app_server section of the settings file points to a gunicorn.socket file.

I’m lost. How do I setup multiple django sites using the Ubuntu 16 one-click install option?

Hi After setting up the new site. When I try to restart nginx server. I get following error

• Reloading nginx configuration nginx [failed]

Is there any thing else to modify ?

To fix the

a duplicate default server for 0.0.0.0:80

just remove the default_server in your second website, your need just one default_server
