Linode Django uwsgi Nginx - django

Question

The following setup is only letting me see the default Nginx html page. How can I get to Django?
I've been following Linode's documentation on how to set this up (and numerous other tutorials), but they don't use systemd, so things are a bit different.

I am using Linode with Fedora24. I have installed my virutalenv at
/home/ofey/djangoenv and activated it,
Django is installed using pip at
/home/ofey/qqiProject
Into the virtualenv I've installed uwsgi.
Firstly,
/etc/systemd/system/uwsgi.service
[Unit]
Description=uWSGI Emperor service
After=syslog.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/home/ofey/djangoenv/bin/uwsgi --emperor /etc/uwsgi/sites
Restart=always
KillSignal=SIGQUIT
Type=notify
StandardError=syslog
NotifyAccess=all
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
This executes,
/etc/uwsgi/sites/qqiProject.ini
[uwsgi]
project = qqiProject
base = /home/ofey
chdir = %(base)/%(project)
home = %(base)/djangoenv
module = %(project).wsgi:application
master = true
processes = 2
socket = %(base)/%(project)/%(project).sock
chmod-socket = 664
vacuum = true
Also,
/etc/nginx/sites-available/qqiProject
server {
listen 80;
server_name qqiresources.com www.qqiresources.com;
location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location /static/ {
root /home/django/qqiProject;
}
location / {
include uwsgi_params;
uwsgi_pass unix:/home/django/qqiProject/qqiProject.sock;
}
}
The file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf has not been changed.
The user is ofey, I've used,
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl restart nginx
$ sudo systemctl start uwsgi.service
Started Django with,
$ python manage.py runserver
To Django's settings.py I turned off debugging and added a host
DEBUG = False
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['qqiresources.com']
I have also created a symbolic link,
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/qqiProject /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks

The following is working for me, however I am not sure if this is the correct or most efficient way to do it, especially where the sockets are concerned.
systemd runs the uwsgi.service and can be started with,
$ sudo systemctl start uwsgi.service
Sometimes it is necessary to reload systemd using,
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
/etc/sysemd/system/uwsgi.service
[Unit]
Description=uWSGI Emperor service
After=syslog.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/home/ofey/djangoenv/bin/uwsgi --emperor /etc/uwsgi/sites
Restart=always
KillSignal=SIGQUIT
Type=notify
StandardError=syslog
NotifyAccess=all
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
This calls the binary inside my django virtual environment directory with,
ExecStart=/home/ofey/djangoenv/bin/uwsgi
and also takes us to /etc/uwsgi/sites where the uwsgi configuration files is called djangoForum.ini
/etc/uwsgi/sites/djangoForum.ini
[uwsgi]
project = djangoForum
base = /home/ofey
chdir = %(base)/%(project)
home = %(base)/djangoenv
module = crudProject.wsgi:application
master = true
processes = 2
socket = 127.0.0.1:3031
chmod-socket = 664
vacuum = true
Django is at /home/ofey/djangoForum and my django project is at /home/ofey/djangoForum/crudProject
/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http{
upstream django {
# connect to this socket
# server unix:///tmp/uwsgi.sock; # for a file socket
server 127.0.0.1:3031; # for a web port socket
}
server {
# the port your site will be served on
listen 80;
# the domain name it will serve for
server_name example.com; # substitute your machine's IP address or FQDN
charset utf-8;
#Max upload size
client_max_body_size 75M; # adjust to taste
# Django media
location /media {
alias /home/ofey/djangoForum/fileuploader/uploaded_files; # your Django project's media files
}
location /static {
alias /home/ofey/djangoForum/noAppBoundStaticDirectory; # your Django project's static files
}
# Finally, send all non-media requests to the Django server.
location / {
uwsgi_pass django;
# uwsgi_pass 127.0.0.1:3031;
include /etc/nginx/uwsgi_params; # or the uwsgi_params you installed manually
}
}
}
nginx can be turned on with,
$ sudo systemctl start nginx.service
'start' can be replaced with, 'restart' or 'stop'.
These configuration files for uwsgi and nginx worked for me.
