Hi! Not sure if it's your case. I had a similar problem, asked around and Bruce Wade told me that there were a few changes on uwsgi on ubuntu, so he changed the installation script a bit and posted it on the list.
The link is: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/web2py/nginx$20update/web2py/ysmeR0mZVZo/nOBTKhPOgi8J Worked for me. Hope it works for you too.
