uwsgi ImportError: No module named os - django

Question

I'm teaching myself how to setup an Ubuntu Server to run my Django application. I want to use Nginx + uwsgi. I know that this question can be very easy for experts but I've spent 6 days looking for it over the internet without getting it (in any case, forgive me if there is any link with the answer). I've followed a lot of tutorials and posts but I didn't found a solution.
I describe my file structure below:
My django project is located in /usr/local/projects/myproject
My virtualenv is in /root/.virtualenvs/myproject
My uwsgi config file myproject.ini is in /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/ and correctly symbolic linked in /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/
[uwsgi]
plugins = python
socket = /tmp/myproject.sock
chmod-socket = 644
uid = www-data
gid = www-data
master = true
enable-threads = true
processes = 2
no-site=true
virtualenv = /root/.virtualenvs/myproject
chdir = /usr/local/projects/myproject
module = myproject.wsgi:application
pidfile = /usr/local/projects/myproject/myproject.pid
logto = /var/log/uwsgi/myproject_uwsgi.log
vacuum = true
My nginx config file myproject.conf is in /etc/nginx/sites-available/ and correctly symbolic linked in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
# the upstream component nginx needs to connect to
upstream django {
server unix:///tmp/myproject.sock; # for a file socket
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name dev.myproject.com www.dev.myproject.com;
access_log /var/log/nginx/myproject_access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/myproject_error.log;
location / {
uwsgi_pass unix:///tmp/myproject.sock;
include /etc/nginx/uwsgi_params;
uwsgi_param UWSGI_SCRIPT myproject.wsgi;
}
location /media/ {
alias /usr/local/projects/myproject/media/;
}
location /static/ {
alias /usr/local/projects/myproject/static/;
}
}
When I try to access to dev.myproject.com I get an Internal Server Error. Then I take a look to my uwsgi log:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./myproject/wsgi.py", line 9, in <module>
import os
ImportError: No module named os
Sat Jul 26 17:39:16 2014 - unable to load app 0 (mountpoint='') (callable not found or import error)
Sat Jul 26 17:39:16 2014 - --- no python application found, check your startup logs for errors ---

I need your help because I'm not able to find a solution despite the posibility of being very simple.
If you need to know something else let me know and I will update my question as soon as possible.

Answer 1

I finally found a solution.
I followed kchan's suggestion about not putting any of the contents in the /root/ directory. Basically, I did some small changes in my myproject.conf file and my myproject.ini file. I created a user and structured everything like below:
uwsgi config file myproject.ini in /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/ and correctly symbolic linked in /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/
[uwsgi]
plugins = python
socket = /tmp/myproject.sock
chmod-socket = 644
uid = www-data
gid = www-data
master = true
enable-threads = true
processes = 2
virtualenv = /home/user/.virtualenvs/myproject
chdir = /home/user/projects/myproject
module = myproject.wsgi:application
pidfile = /home/user/projects/myproject/myproject.pid
daemonize = /var/log/uwsgi/myproject_uwsgi.log
vacuum = true
nginx config file myproject.conf in /etc/nginx/sites-available/ and correctly symbolic linked in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
# the upstream component nginx needs to connect to
upstream django {
server unix:///tmp/myproject.sock; # for a file socket
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name dev.myproject.com www.dev.myproject.com;
access_log /var/log/nginx/myproject_access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/myproject_error.log;
location / {
uwsgi_pass django;
include /etc/nginx/uwsgi_params;
}
location /media/ {
alias /home/user/projects/myproject/media/;
}
location /static/ {
alias /home/user/projects/myproject/static/;
}
}
I must say that I think the real problem was to try to setup my DB configuration in the postactivate file of my virtualenv. Hope to help someone else.
