switch python version on uwsgi

Question

I am running a django app with nginx and uwsgi. It was was working ok but suddenly I do not know what I changed that the app stop working.

The problem resides in that python version from uWsgi is 2.4.3 which is the default version in Linux CentOs and I have installed django, webpy and other python distributions in version 2.7.3 (will upgrade sooner)

I also tried creating a symbolic link from python 2.7 path to just "python" in usr/bin and did not work.

How can I make uWsgi use python2.7.3(/usr/local/bin/) instead of 2.4.3?

Django ini:

socket = 127.0.0.1:3031
master = true
processes = 4
env = DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=djtest.settings
module = django.core.handlers.wsgi:WSGIHandler()

When I initialize

./uwsgi --ini django.ini

Answer 1

Before doing the "make" during the uwsgi installation I did the following:

python2.7 uwsgiconfig.py --build
