Django + uWSGI via NGINX on Ubuntu 11.10

Question

I'm trying do deploy a django project. I tried a lot of tutorials, but had no luck. I use a new clean Ubuntu 11.10. I've performed

apt-get install nginx apt-get install uwsgi service nginx start

I've created folder /deploy/project1 and put there manage.py and other files.

My current /deploy/project1/project1/wsgi.py contains:

import os os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "project1.settings") from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application application = get_wsgi_application()

So, could you tell me how to deploy my django app for domain.com properly?

I've also installed Django via pip and easy_install

What should I add in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default.

Assuming that you have installed all requirement and you are using the aptitude packages then you don't need the wsgi.py. All the configuration is in the uwsgi ini/xml/yaml file. (take the format that you prefer).

Here is a minimal example for example.com file for nginx(/etc/nginx/sites-available/examplecom for ubuntu 11.10)

server { listen 80; server_name example.com; access_log /var/log/nginx/projectname.log; location /media { alias /vagrant/test/projectname/media/; } location /static { alias /vagrant/test/projectname/static/; } location / { uwsgi_pass unix:///run/uwsgi/projectname/socket; include uwsgi_params; } }

Create a symbolic link to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/examplecom /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/examplecom

or

sudo /usr/sbin/nxensite examplecom

You are done with NGINX.

Go to /etc/uwsgi/apps-available and create your ini file

sudo vim /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/projectname.ini [uwsgi] virtualenv=/home/vagrant/.virtualenvs/projectenv thread=3 master=1 env = DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=projectname.settings module = django.core.handlers.wsgi:WSGIHandler() chdir = /path/to/my/django/project socket = /run/uwsgi/projectname/socket logto = /var/log/uwsgi/projectname.log

Point your ini to /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/projectname.ini

sudo ln -s /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/projectname.ini /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/projectname.ini

For more information, see any of these files on your system:

/etc/uwsgi/apps-available/README /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/README /usr/share/doc/uwsgi/README.Debian.gz /etc/default/uwsgi

You are done. You can now restart nginx & uwsgi

sudo service nginx restart sudo service uwsgi restart

Cheers!

Thanks for the great answer. I've added an edit with some ubuntu specific items (nxensite, README for /etc/uwsgi/apps-*).
Why do you use: uwsgi_pass unix:/// with 3 slashes? Is there a different using 3 or 1 leading slashes??
There is no difference, 1 or 3 leading slashes stand for the full path to your unix socket.

Do not forget that Debian's, Ubuntu's and its derivates' uwsgi package does not require installation of its Python plugin — uwsgi-plugin-python, because uWSGI does not necessarily uses only Python (there are plugins for Lua, Erlang and other languages). However, Django requires Python plugin. Install it:

sudo apt install uwsgi-plugin-python

Unlike PIP's installation, you should explicitly mention uwsgi's plugin used in the app's config by adding a plugins = python line to it (if you use Python), like this:

[uwsgi] plugins = python uwsgi-socket = /var/sockets/django.sock chmod-socket = 660 chdir = /home/v/django module = project.wsgi

Unless you do this, there will be no Python-specific options available. And Debian's/Ubuntu's uWSGI will be just quiet about it!

plugin = python, I think. You wouldn't believe how many places neglect to bring this up at all. I was migrating a python app from 1 server (which was working 100%) to another in hosted in a different location, and while I'd obviously done this ages, and ages ago, I'd completely forgotten about it. When looking for information about a uwsgi python app ini file, most places tell you to just remove the "plugin" line altogether, none mention to check to make sure that uwsgi-plugin-python is installed on the system.
From man uwsgi: --plugins — load uWSGI plugins; --plugin — load uWSGI plugins, so these two parameters are effectively synonyms.
