Setup Script: Ubuntu + Nginx + uWSGI

[pbreit]

I did a little more work on a setup script for Ubuntu + Nginx + uWSGI. Please let me know if you experience any problems or have any suggestions. I'm fairly new to this.

+ Tested on Ubuntu 10.04 (Rackspace Cloud)

+ Nginx 0.8.54

+ SSL (self-signed)

+ uWSGI 0.9.7.1

+ Postgres 8.4

+ Web2py Current

+ user=www-data

+ Hosted at BitBucket: https://bitbucket.org/pbreit/web2py-automation/src/

$ wget http://bitbucket.org/pbreit/web2py-automation/raw/tip/setup-ubuntu-nginx.sh

$ chmod +x setup-ubuntu-nginx.sh

$ sudo ./setup-ubuntu-nginx.sh

Note: the script runs almsot unattended. The only user input required is specifying web2py admin password.

Once this has been tested/refined, it might be a nice addition to the /web2py/scripts folder.

[Massimo Di Pierro]

Let me know when you think this is a ready for inclusion. I agree with
Anthony, it would be a valuable addition to scrips/

It needs something like
client_max_body_size 100M;
in nginx.conf to avoid error: 413 Request Entity Too Large
(for example, try to install app with > 6mb or upload big file)

Updated.

+ client_max_body_size 10m; (worried about making it higher since opens up easy DOS attack)

+ prompt for admin password at beginning

Can you make it a little more general by having two variables; one for
the location of web2py installation, and the other for the user
running web2py, nginx and uwsgi. The default values can be /var/opt
and www-data, but sometimes other things are preferable.

Hi,

Tested on:

Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS
nginx-1.0.11
uwsgi-0.9.9.3
web2py 1.99.7
user=www-data
Hosted at Amazon EC2.

ubuntu@IP:/opt$ uname -a
Linux IP 2.6.32-342-ec2 #43-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 4 18:22:42 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux


Pretty much downloaded the script and ran it. Installed nginx, uwsgi, web2py and ran it perfectly.
BUT, I can't create applications.
It says "Failure to create application" or "Unable to create application '<application name>' (it may exist already)".

I read somewhere that if you call python2.6 web2py and then calling nginx, it may solve this, but they didn't explain and I couldn't make it work.

last stable release of uwsgi is http://projects.unbit.it/downloads/uwsgi-1.0.4.tar.gz
last stable release of nginx is 1.0.14

Also noticed that Web2py itself fails to recognize Nginx and it's version (as it does with Apache at the admin page).
It says "Running on None"

Nginx sounds really promissing, it could be really nice if this would work perfectly.

Thanks in advanced for any help.

Just one question: why you compiled everything when you could have used the debian packages??
It doesn't work with deb? Why?

Thanks again!

[Bruce Wade]

Probably because the debian packages tend to be out of date, it is always better to use the latest versions of these packages.

Hard to say. Here's another script you could try:

https://bitbucket.org/pbreit/web2py-automation/src/bc2ac095b592/setup-ubuntu-nginx.sh

You could either run it as-is, update the versions and run or step through each command manually.

Just ran today on fresh Ubuntu 13.10 and am getting:

Internal Error

Ticket issued:  unrecoverable

When clicking on my personal app.  Welcome/Admin and Examples work just fine.

Where would I begin trouble-shooting?

[Niphlod]

isn't this line ?
https://github.com/web2py/web2py/blob/master/scripts/setup-web2py-nginx-uwsgi-ubuntu.sh#L174

[Jim S]

Yes, but I added another application in my applications directory the install.  So, I had to run this again.
