uWSGI + nginx for django project, error with strting uwsgi

Question

I try to up webserver for django on nginx+uwsgi, os - debian (3.1.0-1-amd64 x86_64) nginx 1.1.8-1, uwsgi 0.9.8.3-1 configuration:

<uwsgi>
<socket>/tmp/uwsgi.sock</socket>
<process>1</process>
<master/>
<enable-threads/>
<uid>33</uid>
<gid>33</gid>
<pidfile>/tmp/uwsgi.pid</pidfile>
</uwsgi>

in file /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/webapp.xml nginx configuration

location / {
        uwsgi_pass unix:///tmp/uwsgi.sock;
        include uwsgi_params;
        uwsgi_param UWSGI_SCRIPT webapp;
        uwsgi_param UWSGI_CHDIR  /data/web/webapp/webapp;
    }

all projet in /data/web/webapp/webapp/, here setting.py, urls ect. in /data/web/webapp/webapp/webapp.py

import sys, os
import django.core.handlers.wsgi
sys.path.insert(0, '/data/web/webapp/webapp')
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'settings'
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

uid and gid 33 it is www-data user try run uwsgi as

root#uwsgi -s /var/run/uwsgi.sock -x /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/webapp.xml

[uWSGI] parsing config file /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/webapp.xml

writing pidfile to /tmp/uwsgi.pid

setgid() to 33
setuid() to 33
your memory page size is 4096 bytes
unlink(): Permission denied [socket.c line 38]
bind(): Address already in use [socket.c line 70]

how permission they want? and what's the problem.. if i run uwsgi as root error is gone, and i see

 *** WARNING: you are running uWSGI as root !!! (use the --uid flag) *** 
your memory page size is 4096 bytes
uwsgi socket 0 bound to UNIX address /var/run/uwsgi.sock fd 3

*** uWSGI is running in multiple interpreter mode ***
spawned uWSGI master process (pid: 20732)
spawned uWSGI worker 1 (pid: 20733, cores: 1)

but when i try to access the server, ngix returns 502 error page. And more: permission error in nginx logs:

 2011/12/14 21:57:17 [crit] 20739#0: *1 connect() to unix:///tmp/uwsgi.sock failed (13: Permission denied) while connecting to upstream, client: 10.10.3.111, server: ******, request: "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1", upstream: "uwsgi://unix:///tmp/uwsgi.sock:", host: "****.****.**"

if change owner of /tmp/uwsgi.sock to nginix user in runtime (www-data), he wrote other logs

[error] 20739#0: *21 upstream prematurely closed connection while reading response header from upstream,

but still error 502 (

how solving this problem? some one can help me.. really want to use nginx+uwsgi instead of apache. thanks

---

however, solution is near :) I use tcp socket now and more, change uwsgi configuration and installed a few more packages. was an important option --autoload. now uwsgi has configuration like this:

<uwsgi>
<module>webapp</module>
<socket>127.0.0.1:5080</socket>
<pythonpath>/data/web/webapp/webapp</pythonpath>
<autoload/>
<daemonize>/var/log/uwsgi_webapp.log</daemonize>
<processes>1</processes>
<uid>33</uid>
<gid>33</gid>
<enable-threads/>
<master/>
<harakiri>120</harakiri>
<max-requests>5000</max-requests>
</uwsgi>

remains to solve other problem.. uwsgi use not main system python version >_<

option "pythonpath" found in plugin python26_plugin.so

he use python 2.6.7 but main system version is 2.7.2 and all python modules installed for this, so a lot of errors in the log - repeated attempts to import non-existent, one of many typical error:

  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/db/__init__.py", line 78, in <module>
    connection = connections[DEFAULT_DB_ALIAS]

    backend = load_backend(db['ENGINE'])

Try using django.db.backends.XXX, where XXX is one of:
    'dummy', 'mysql', 'oracle', 'postgresql', 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'sqlite3'
Error was: No module named django_mongodb_engine.base

so.. how set version of python for uwsgi?

Solution 1

unix sockets must obey to file permission schemes. So /var/run must be writable by www-data and nginx must be able to read/write /var/run/uwsgi.sock

If you are not familiar with this kind of things, you should use tcp sockets (choose a port and you are ready)

Solution 2

how set version of python for uwsgi?

Set option plugins in uwsgi settings:

[uwsgi]
...
plugins = python27
...
