django nginx setup issues - django

Question

In the following i am trying to configure from http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorials/Django_and_nginx.html
The following is my conf file below placed in my project directory and have linked the same in the sites-enabled of the nginx directory.
Now when i access my http://127.0.0.1:8000/app1/files?path=/ i end up with 502 Bad Gateway and the nginx error log says
2015/09/21 14:07:41 [error] 8023#0: *7 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: 127.0.0.1, server: 127.0.0.1, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "uwsgi://127.0.0.1:8001", host: "127.0.0.1:8000"
but i am able to access this link http://127.0.0.1:8000/media/a.jpg what am i doing wrong here and how can access my django application
# mysite_nginx.conf
# the upstream component nginx needs to connect to
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 127.0.0.1; # 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/rajeev/django-test/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
alias /home/rajeev/django-test/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/rajeev/django-test/mysite/conf/uwsgi_params; # the uwsgi_params file you installed
}
}
Edit1: uwsgi_params file
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;

You've missed one point in this tutorial. Configuration of uWSGI for nginx is different than configuration for checking in browser if uWSGI is working not only by used port, but also by protocol.
When deploying uWSGI for nginx, --http should be replaced by --socket. By that change, nginx will understand properly output from your uWSGI server, but your browser won't.
Configuration for browser (to check if uWSGI is working) can work for nginx also, but you must use proxy_pass instead of uwsgi_pass in nginx, and using it is not recommended, uwsgi protocol is faster and better for communication between web server and uWSGI server.
