Installing django, nginx and uwsgi on Ubuntu

Installing nginx and uwsgi

sudo su -
nginx=stable # use nginx=development for latest development version

apt-get install python-software-properties
add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/$nginx
add-apt-repository ppa:uwsgi/release

apt-get update
apt-get install nginx uwsgi python-virtualenv

Make a virtual environment. Ex.

virtualenv /home/jason/virtualenv

Activate the virtualenv ex.

source /home/jason/virtualenv/bin/activate

Install django

pip install django

Create django project ex.

django-admin.py startproject /home/jason/virtualenv/djangoprojecthome

Deploy nginx

Edit /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

ex.

upstream django {

# server unix:/var/run/uwsgi/uwsgi-python2.6/pinax/socket;

server 127.0.0.1:4000;

}

server {

listen 80;

server_name django.jasonwang.us;

location / {

uwsgi_pass django;

include uwsgi_params;

uwsgi_param UWSGI_PYHOME /home/jason/virtualenv;

uwsgi_param UWSGI_SCRIPT deploy; #the name of deploy.py

# uwsgi_param SCRIPT_NAME django;

uwsgi_param UWSGI_CHDIR /home/jason/virtualenv/djangoprojecthome;

}

location ^~ /media/ {

root /home/jason/virtualenv/djangoprojecthome/static;

}

}

ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/default /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

Edit /etc/uwsgi/uwsgi-python2.6/default.ini

I use vhost in my xml for virtual hosting to run multiple sites.

[uwsgi]

socket = 127.0.0.1:4000

master = true

processes = 4

vhost = true

no-site = true

Create a django wsgi file in your django project file. ex. /home/jason/virtualenv/djangoprojecthome/deploy.py

# pinax.wsgi is configured to live in projects/pine/deploy.

# from pinax

import os

import sys

from os.path import abspath, dirname, join

from site import addsitedir

addsitedir('/home/jason/virtualenv/lib/python2.6/site-packages')

sys.path.insert(0, abspath(join(dirname(__file__), "../")))

from django.conf import settings

os.environ["DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE"] = "djangoprojecthome.settings"

# sys.path.insert(0, join(settings.PROJECT_ROOT, "apps"))

from django.core.handlers.wsgi import WSGIHandler

application = WSGIHandler()

Restart nginx and uwsgi

sudo /etc/init.d/uwsgi-python2.6 restart

sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart
