[Solved] python nginx and uwsgi

Hi, I am attempting to get nginx and uwsgi running on my local box, I followed any number of tutorials and this one had the most complete information.
http://gekicstart.ca/tech-posts/nginxuwsgidjango-stack/

It is written for Debian\Ubuntu so I had to transpose a bit. I got through most of it and I got to the section on creating the daemon for uwsgi that loads a specific project. It creates a /etc/init/projectX.conf file that it loads the uwsgi specific information from. I didn't know enough to create a daemon in arch so I opted for running the command by cli.

/usr/bin/uwsgi socket /root/Workspace/Eclipse/sockets/projectX.sock --chmod-socket --module wsgi_app --pythonpath /root/Workspace/Eclipse/projectX/uwsgi -p 1

I also extended the relative paths to absolute from the example code, so far so good. but when it loads the below file.

when I run this it craps on the django import

 #!/usr/bin/python2.7
  2 import sys
  3 import os
  4 import django.core.handlers.wsgi
  5 sys.path.append("/Eclipse/")
  6 os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'projectX.settings'
  7 application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

It can't find django, I tested by reducing the statement

import django.core.handlers.wsgi

section by section, in other words I tested 'import django.core.handlers', 'import django.core' etc. each time it couldn't find the reference, I know that django is loaded in python2.7/site-packages.

Further I also opened up a python2.7 prompt and used the same import statement successfully. I tried changing the declaration for the python script to

#!/usr/bin/python
#!/usr/bin/python2
#!/usr/bin/python2.7

None has solved the problem. Does anyone have an idea why it can't see django? The python prompt sees it no problem.

thanks in advance for your help.

And what happens if you do the following before importing django (when running the script, not from within the interpreter:

print(sys.path)

Re: [Solved] python nginx and uwsgi

Hi, I finally figured it out and I meant to reply yesterday, but what I did was recompile with a python2.7 option, this solved the immediate problem. I am still dealing with some others but hopefully I will figure those out also.

thanks for your post and your help .
