I am trying to replace an apache setup with nginx/uwsgi on my home network as a pilot project for a more formal setup on a server where I am deploying an app.
With the help of people on this list I could change my Webfaction configuration to nginx/uwsgi but on a plain Debian computer I am making no progress. I am runing Debian unstable on my home computer and Debian stable on the server. On both I could get the ubuntu-setup script that comes with web2py to set up apache/web2py successfully. However, the script setup-web2py-nginx-ubuntu, modified to use Debian packages and paths and not ubuntu ones, only produces an nginx running and answering with *502 Bad Gateway*. I then purged all the uwsgi and nginx packages from Debian and tried the script at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5335153/how-to-deply-web2py-using-nginx. That also ended with *502 Bad Gateway*.:( I have read somewhere that nginx is more simple to set up than Apache, but in this case i have spent several hours reading and trying several setup scripts and configuration and I got nowhere. Are there anybody running a nginx/uwsgi/web2py setup on Debian? If so, are you willing to share some knowledge that can help me?
