I finally got it working but it was a mess. These steps wil get it done. Linode is really the best resource for setting up on Ubuntu. There is a lot of out-dated, confusing or mis-information out there. Start with the Ubuntu docs and Linode Library.
http://library.linode.com/web-servers/nginx/python-uwsgi/ubuntu-10.04-lucid The one thing you have to do is NOT set up and use the "uwsgi" user. Instead, make sure the user is "www-data". So wherever you see "chown uwsgi", use "chown www-data" instead. And, in the uwsgi init.d file that you grab from Linode, edit the "user" to "www-data". For the wsgi file, put this in. I'm pretty sure this file is necessary although it seemed like there were different ways to config this. PYTHONPATH=/var/web2py #your path to web2pyMODULE=wsgihandler This is the nginx.conf I used. No ssl yet. I will submit my fabfile when I confirm it. ANd I'd like to get SSL working. user www-data; worker_processes 4; events { worker_connections 1024; } http { include mime.types; default_type application/octet-stream; keepalive_timeout 2; sendfile on; #tcp_nopush on; tcp_nodelay on; gzip on; server { listen 80; server_name ""; location / { uwsgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9001; include uwsgi_params; } location /static { root /var/web2py/applications/init/; } } }
