UWSGI, ImportError: No module named site on Ubuntu

Question

I am trying to follow the tutorial at http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorials/Django_and_nginx.html . I got everything that works, tohttp: //uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorials/Django_and_nginx.html#install-uwsgi-system-wide. I am working with an ubuntu 14.4 instance on amazon EC2:

Without going into my virtualenv, I ran:

sudo pip install uwsgi 

This led to

  ############## end of uWSGI configuration ############# total build time: 24 seconds *** uWSGI is ready, launch it with /usr/local/bin/uwsgi *** Successfully installed uwsgi Cleaning up... 

Then I ran:

 ubuntu@ip-172-31-28-196 :~$ uwsgi --ini /home/ubuntu/tproxy/tp/mysite_uwsgi.ini [uWSGI] getting INI configuration from /home/ubuntu/tproxy/tp/mysite_uwsgi.ini *** Starting uWSGI 2.0.9 (64bit) on [Fri Mar 6 16:15:07 2015] *** compiled with version: 4.8.2 on 06 March 2015 16:10:06 os: Linux-3.13.0-44-generic #73-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 16 00:22:43 UTC 2014 nodename: ip-172-31-28-196 machine: x86_64 clock source: unix detected number of CPU cores: 1 current working directory: /home/ubuntu detected binary path: /usr/local/bin/uwsgi !!! no internal routing support, rebuild with pcre support !!! chdir() to /home/ubuntu/tproxy/tp your processes number limit is 7862 your memory page size is 4096 bytes detected max file descriptor number: 1024 lock engine: pthread robust mutexes thunder lock: disabled (you can enable it with --thunder-lock) uwsgi socket 0 bound to UNIX address /tmp/mysite.sock fd 3 Python version: 2.7.6 (default, Mar 22 2014, 23:03:41) [GCC 4.8.2] Set PythonHome to /home/ubuntu/.virtualenvs/env1 ImportError: No module named site VACUUM: unix socket /tmp/mysite.sock removed. 

Where

 ImportError: No module named site on Ubuntu 

and how can i fix it?

Answer 1

Try no-site = True in the mysite_uwsgi.ini file.
