Start Your Django Project in Nginx with uWsgi

Step 0:Install A,B,C,blabla needed

This can be seen in my another article in the blog.click here(unavailable now,just in the future)

Step 1:Create A Django Project

chdir /path/to/your/project/base/

django-admin.py startproject mysite

Step 2:Create Your uwsgi congfigure files and Edit them

chdir /path/to/your/project/base/mysite

touch mysite_uwsgi.conf mysite_uwsgi.py mysite_uwsgi.ini mysite_mysite_uwsgi.pid uwsgi.pid

sudo ln -s /path/to/your/project/base/mysite/mysite_uwsgi.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ # so that this configuration can be included into nginx‘s conf

# sudo ln -s /path/to/your/project/base/mysite/mysite_uwsgi.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mysite_nginx.conf # another name is also ok!

## ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

vim mysite_uwsgi.conf

# mysite_uwsgi.conf
server {
    listen         8000;
    server_name    10.10.10.132; # after all of these steps,type http://10.10.10.132:8000/ into your browser to get what you want(ps.10.10.10.132 if my IP)
    charset UTF-8;

    client_max_body_size 75M;

    location / {
        include uwsgi_params;
        uwsgi_pass 127.0.0.1:8001; # nginx(not you) wiil get something from 127.0.0.1:8001 then return to you
        uwsgi_read_timeout 2;
    }
    location /static {
        expires 30d;
        autoindex on;
        add_header Cache-Control private;
        alias /path/to/your/project/base/mysite/mysite/static/;
     }
 }

# ln this file into the ‘/path/to/nginx/site-enable/‘ (have done in step 2 ‘sudo ln blablablabla‘)

## ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

vim mysite_uwsgi.py

# mysite_uwsgi.pyimport os
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "mysite.settings")

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

## ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

vim mysite_uwsgi.ini

[uwsgi]
socket = :8001
master = true
module = mysite_uwsgi
processes = 8
listen = 120
enable-threads = true
daemonize = /path/to/your/project/base/mysite/mysite_uwsgi.log
pidfile = /path/to/your/project/base/mysite/mysite_uwsgi.pid
pythonpath = /path/to/your/project/base/mysite/
pythonpath = /path/to/your/project/base/mysite/mysite_uwsgi
pythonpath = /path/to/your/project/base/mysite/mysite
buffer-size = 32768
reload-mercy = 8
vacuum = true

After all of these above,we can go to Step 3.

Step 3:Restart Your Nginx Service And uWsgi service

Here list the Commonly used commands:
sudo /etc/init.d/nginx stop

sudo /etc/init.d/nginx start

sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart

And in this step you just need to restart your nginx(if it is started before, or use start instead)

sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart # restart nginx

chdir /path/to/your/project/base/mysite

uwsgi --socket 127.0.0.1:8001 --wsgi-file mysite_uwsgi.py # start uwsig service,if not,you will get a 502(Bad Gateway) error.

Tips:

　　chdir /path/to/your/project/base/mysite

　　uwsgi --http 10.10.10.132:8001 --wsgi-file mysite_uwsgi.py

　　and then type http://10.10.10.132:8000/ in your browser to see if uwsgi work ok.if ok ,then shose socket

Tips:

　　nginx + uwsgi

　　apache + mod_wsgi

　　nginx + apache + ???

 Step 4:Check If It is OK

Open your browser and type http://10.10.10.132:8000/ (10.10.10.132:8000 also ok)

And you will see the django‘s beautiful welcome page.
