Django ignoring environment variables when run via uWSGI

问题

I have a django website, that uses an environment variable, DJANGO_MODE to decide which settings to use - development or staging. The environment variable is in the bashrc and when running the app using the development server, everything works fine.

But when I run the app using uWSGI, it doesn't seem to notice the environment variable and uses the default(development) settings instead of production.

I run uWSGI in Emperor mode, and other than the environment variable ignoring, everything seems to be running fine. And yes, the user running uWSGI is the same for which the bashrc has DJANGO_MODE set.

The command used to run uWSGI is -

exec  uwsgi --emperor /etc/uwsgi/vassals --uid web_user --gid --web_user

And the ini file for the vassal -

[uwsgi]
processes = 2
socket = /tmp/uwsgi.sock
wsgi-file = /home/web_user/web/project_dir/project/wsgi.py
chdir = /home/web_user/web/project_dir
virtualenv = /home/web_user/.virtualenvs/production_env
logger = syslog
chmod-socket = 777

回答1:

It cannot work as bash config files are read by the bash. You have to set var in the emperor or in the vassal (the second one is a better approach). Just add

env=DJANGO_MODE=foobar

to your config (do not use whitespace).
