Flask app on uwsgi/nginx - unix socket file is not created on booting

Question

I\'m trying to use Flask app on uwsgi/nginx.

Following http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorials/Django_and_nginx.html and http://www.markjberger.com/f

Answer 1

The main issue seems to be from the uwsgi service; it just doesn't work.

I found another way to start uwsgi at startup: upstart and uwsgi --emperor from http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/Upstart.html and http://upstart.ubuntu.com

The process is just make a flask.conf file in /etc/init directory. uwsgi --emperor controls all the ini files in the uwsgi directory.

# simple uWSGI script
# http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/Upstart.html

description "uwsgi tiny instance"
start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [06]

respawn

exec uwsgi --emperor /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled

I also had to sudo update-rc.d uwsgi disable so that uwsgi service should be disabled.

I also found this site http://flaviusim.com/blog/Deploying-Flask-with-nginx-uWSGI-and-Supervisor/ for invoking uswgi at startup, but I didn't test it.
