NGINX Cookbook

How to do it...

We'll now configure uWSGI to point to our Django project, which for this example I have located at /var/www/djangodemo. Here's the uwsgi.ini file:

[uwsgi]

uid=www-data 
gid=www-data 
chdir=/var/www/djangodemo 
module=djangodemo.wsgi 
master=True 
pidfile=/tmp/uwsgi-djangodemo.pid 
vacuum=True 
max-requests=5000

If you're hitting limitations (many thousands of concurrent connections), then I'd suggest that you use Unix sockets.

Now for the NGINX configuration, we'll use a separate ...
