Running python under nginx

Question

I'm at a loss here...

I'm trying to use uwsgi to run my flask app. Using the example at WSGI Quick Start I get it to run.

For development (restserver.py):

 from api import app

 if __name__ == '__main__':
     app.run(debug=True, port=8080)

How would I start the uwsgi server with this?

I have tried this (restserver.fcgi):

#!/usr/bin/python
from flup.server.fcgi import WSGIServer
from api import app

if __name__ == '__main__':
    WSGIServer(app, bindAddress='/var/run/fcgi.sock').run()

but when reading more I see that uwsgi want's to call the method application by default. I can change that of course but I don't have and application method so when running:

/usr/local/bin/uwsgi --http :9090 --wsgi-file restserver.fcgi

I get the following message in the start log:

unable to find "application" callable in file restserver.fcgi

Have you edited your uwsgi.ini file? I was configuring nginx with uswsgi and flask recently, and it was painful, but I managed to do this, one thing I remember is that you need to specify callable in your uwsgi.ini file, you should specify app as callable there, and it should fix this error. I have something like this there: callable = app. There is also an option touch-reload, and I have there a path to runserver.py touch-reload = /home/###/bla/bla/run.py. Hope this helps somehow. — Pawel Miech

All you need is to change start command to

/usr/local/bin/uwsgi --http :9090 --wsgi-file restserver.fcgi --callable app

or change the way you import your flask application in restserver.fcgi to

#!/usr/bin/python
from flup.server.fcgi import WSGIServer
from api import app as application

if __name__ == '__main__':
    WSGIServer(application, bindAddress='/var/run/fcgi.sock').run()

PS: Actually your flask app is WSGI application.

thanks. I realized that minutes after I'd posted the question. I was looking at fast-cgi before hence the restserver.fcgi. Now I can just use the normal restserver.py file to start it.
