I would like to configure Nginx to run Django applications.

I've seen on several websites, and comments that say I can use Nginx + Gunicorn, Nginx + uWSGI, Nginx + python-flup and the like, but also and seen bechmark where Nginx works best with uWSGI.

My question is, what is best for running Django using nginx as web server? and where to find manuals/tutorials/ examples to configure?

Do you know any updated guide that explains how to configure Nginx + Django uWSGI to run applications?

Greetings and thanks in advance

This is one of the latest howto:

http://django.docshub.org/tutorials/4/deploying-your-django-applications-with-nginx-and-uwsgi

It covers all the areas (startup files included).

uWSGI is bigger (hundreds of configuration options) than most of the WSGI server out there and this can
be a PITA for newcomers, but if you follow this howto you should not have particular problems.

thanks friend, works perfect

I only see this error: "ImportError at / No module named appdjango.views. "

To fix this, i rename the calls to views.py simply views. note that this call is in the urls.py file and appear as appdjango.views by default

Although it works properly, I do not like this solution because any new file or call to modules me or Django make should then be renamed in this way to work correctly with Nginx and uWSGI. Do you know a better way?

Greetings and thanks in advance

PD: sorry for my bad English

If i understand correctly you reference a particular view in urls.py with

'appdjango.views'

and this does not work.

If you simply use

'views'

it works.

This is a simple pythonpath problem.
Add to your configuration file (or commandline as used in the howto) a <pythonpath>/--pythonpath directive set to the directory that contains
'appdjango'.

So if you have this layout:


/foo
/foo/app
/foo/app/views.py

your pythonpath would be

<pythonpath>/foo</pythonpath>
<pythonpath>/foo/app</pythonpath>

Or for following the howto, add

--pythonpath /home

This will reach the same result as app like Pinax use.

Yes, I just realized that in the - PYTHONPATH must reference the full path to the folder where the Django project (appdjango) and not the folder itself ("... python / django / "and not "...python/django/appdjango"). Is working properly the Django app

Greetings and thanks.
