Got 'No such file or directory' error while configuring nginx and uwsgi

Question

UPDATE: if I don't use socket and use 127.0.0.1:3031 instead, everything works fine.

Nginx version is 1.6.3, and uwsgi is 2.0.11.1

/etc/uwsgi.ini:

[uwsgi]
uid = uwsgi
gid = uwsgi
pidfile = /run/uwsgi/uwsgi.pid
emperor = /etc/uwsgi.d
stats = /run/uwsgi/stats.sock
emperor-tyrant = true
cap = setgid,setuid
logto = /var/log/uwsgi.log

/etc/uwsgi.d/daimaduan_preview.ini

[uwsgi]
plugin = python,http
protocol = uwsgi
chdir = /var/www/daimaduan/preview/current
master = true
processes = 4
threads = 20
socket = /tmp/daimaduan-preview.sock
chmod-socket = 666
uid = vagrant
gid = vagrant
logto = /var/log/daimaduan/preview/uwsgi.log
virtualenv = /var/www/daimaduan/preview/venv
wsgi-file = deploy.wsgi

/etc/nginx/conf.d/daimaduan.conf

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com;
    access_log /var/log/daimaduan/preview/access.log;
    error_log /var/log/daimaduan/preview/error.log;
    root /var/www/daimaduan/preview/current/daimaduan;

    location / {
        uwsgi_pass unix:/tmp/daimaduan-preview.sock;
        include uwsgi_params;
    }
}

However, I got errors from nginx by visiting http://127.0.0.1/:

And I am pretty sure /tmp/daimaduan-preview.sock does exist. I also checked uwsgi log:

It also looks normal.

Some questions here:

1. why uid and gid does not take effect in /etc/uwsgi.d/daimaduan.ini?
2. how to change ownership for /tmp/daimaduan-preview.sock? I tried chown-socket but failed
3. why did I get No such file or directory errors in /var/log/daimaduan/preview/uwsgi.log?

Answer 1

Put the daimaduan_preview.ini's socket file into /run instead of /tmp. Like in this answer, your system probably using namespaced temporary directories, which means every service can only see its own files in /tmp.
