OK, here's another try. This is just a shell script which I have verified works on a clean Ubuntu 10.04 install. This script needs no additional editing. To get it to work with the script provided by Linode, everything is owned be the user "uwsgi". Besides the script, the only other place where the user is specified is in the uwsgi init.d script. Still working on SSL but that shouldn't be too hard. Sorry if I have wasted anyone's time. I have certainly wasted a lot of my own!
