django nginx uwsgi deploying fail - django

Question

I am trying to deploy a simple Django project, but fail all the time. I am following the instruction here.
When I use python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 I can see that my site is running:
In the virtualenv I've installed uWSGI:
pip install uwsgi
and wrote the test.py:
# test.py
def application(env, start_response):
start_response('200 OK', [('Content-Type','text/html')])
return [b"Hello World"] # python3
#return ["Hello World"] # python2
When running uwsgi --http :8000 --wsgi-file test.py I can see
I then installed en started Nginx:
sudo apt-get install nginx
sudo /etc/init.d/nginx start
I can see
and then wrote mysite_nginx.conf:
upstream django {
# server unix:///path/to/your/mysite/mysite.sock; # for a file socket
server 127.0.0.1:8001; # for a web port socket (we'll use this first)
}
# configuration of the server
server {
# the port your site will be served on
listen 8000;
# the domain name it will serve for
server_name 10.211.55.21; # 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 /path/to/your/mysite/media; # your Django project's media files - amend as required
#}
#location /static {
# alias /path/to/your/mysite/static; # your Django project's static files - amend as required
#}
# Finally, send all non-media requests to the Django server.
location / {
uwsgi_pass django;
include /home/parallels/books/mysite/uwsgi_params; # the uwsgi_params file you installed
}
}
because it is just a simple site I commented out the media and static paths, and uwsgi_params:
uwsgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
uwsgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method;
uwsgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type;
uwsgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length;
uwsgi_param REQUEST_URI $request_uri;
uwsgi_param PATH_INFO $document_uri;
uwsgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $document_root;
uwsgi_param SERVER_PROTOCOL $server_protocol;
uwsgi_param REQUEST_SCHEME $scheme;
uwsgi_param HTTPS $https if_not_empty;
uwsgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $remote_addr;
uwsgi_param REMOTE_PORT $remote_port;
uwsgi_param SERVER_PORT $server_port;
uwsgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name;
the directory:
and run:
sudo ln -s ~/home/parallels/books/mysite/mysite_nginx.conf
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
I can see mysite_nginx.conf within /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/:
and then run:
sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart
uwsgi --socket :8001 --wsgi-file test.py
I see nothing in my webbrowser:
I do not know why, whenever I try deploying a Django site the socket part fails.

Finally I made it by using XML to configure uWSGI and deploying Django project successfully. However, this time I do not use a virtualenv.
I created the virtual host configuration /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mysite:
server {
listen 80; ## listen for ipv4; this line is default and implied
#listen [::]:80 default ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6
server_name 10.211.55.21;
access_log /var/log/nginx/mysite-access.log ;
error_log /var/log/nginx/mysite-error.log ;
location / {
uwsgi_pass 127.0.0.1:8630;
include uwsgi_params;
}
}
Then created the /home/parallels/books/mysite/django.xml file, note that the name of the file can be anything but should end with *.xml:
<uwsgi>
<socket>127.0.0.1:8630</socket>
<chdir>/home/parallels/books/mysite/mysite</chdir>
<pythonpath>..</pythonpath>
<module>wsgi</module>
</uwsgi>
the <chdir>/home/parallels/books/mysite/mysite</chdir> just point to <module>wsgi</module> because there is a wsgi.py in /home/parallels/books/mysite/mysite/wsgi.py.
I then run the following commands:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart
$ uwsgi -x django.xml
now the website is reachable:
But I fail to configure and deploying Django using uwsgi.ini.
