I'm trying to setup a webserver with nginx, uwsgi and django.
nginx works and it serves the files in /srv just like I intended to. However I can't get uwsgi to work properly. My biggest problem is that I used this tutorial and they don't seem to use the version of uwsgi that I use.
At one point they call uwsgi --http :8000 --wsgi-file test.py, but my uwsgi has neither the --http long option, nor --wsgi-file long option. uwsgi --version prints 2.0.7-debian.
What can I call instead of --wsgi-file?
UPDATE:
This works fine, i.e. I can see my website on localhost on port 8000:
python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
However this does not:
uwsgi --http :8000 --module django_test.wsgi
It will complain, that it doesn't know the long option --http as well as the long option --module. It all seems to boil down to uwsgi, which on my machine just doesn't behave as it does everywhere else.
uWSGI installed from debian packages doesn't have any built-in plugins, and for that parameters to work, you will need:
--http parameter--module (or any wsgi related) parameterYou can fix this in 2 ways: installing all required plugins (uwsgi-plugins-all package will install all available plugins on debian) and loading them explicitly (--plugin http and --plugin python) or by replacing uWSGI by fully featured one (sudo pip install uwsgi will do that). Second solution will tie your uWSGI up to certain python version, for first one, you can just load another python plugin (python3 for example).
