Internal Server Error with Django and uWSGI

Question

I am trying to follow the steps in this guide: http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorials/Django_and_nginx.html

Before I even get to the nginx part I am trying to make sure that uWSGI works correctly

my folder structure is srv/www/domain/projectdatabank/

the project databank folder contains my manage.py file

my wsgi.py file looks like this:

import os import sys from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application application = get_wsgi_application() 

do you need to see my settings.py?

i get the following error when i point myself to the browser:

-- no python application found, check your startup logs for errors --- [pid: 10165|app: -1|req: -1/1] 66.56.35.151 () {38 vars in 681 bytes} [Tue Jul 9 18:19:46 2013] GET /admin/ => generated 21 bytes in 0 msecs (HTTP/1.1 500) 1 headers in 57 bytes (0 switches on core 0) --- no python application found, check your startup logs for errors --- [pid: 10165|app: -1|req: -1/2] 66.56.35.151 () {36 vars in 638 bytes} [Tue Jul 9 18:19:49 2013] GET / => generated 21 bytes in 0 msecs (HTTP/1.1 500) 1 headers in 57 bytes (0 switches on core 0)

Now when I check my uWGI log it is just the same as above.

Answer 1

I have solved this

in my original command line did not include full path to the wsgi.py file to run uWSGI

uwsgi --http :8000 --chdir /srv/www/databankinfo.com/projectdatabank/ --wsgi-file wsgi.py 

to this

uwsgi --http :8000 --chdir /srv/www/databankinfo.com/projectdatabank/ --wsgi-file full/path/wsgi.py 

and it worked

For others debugging this same error, there is another possibility: an exception is being thrown by your uwsgi.py. To test this, open a django shell in your app directly with python manage.py shell and import your uwsgi.py (use the same path as in your uwsgi.ini).
