I'm trying to run my django application using uwsgi and nginx. It's been working for the past month, but today I edited file in the /sites-enabled/ dir and now nginx won't start.

Here are the error logs from nginx

Update

Was able to get nginx running again by removing the .sock file from my /sites-enabled directory. Still would like to know what this error message means--a google search of the answer turns up nothing of usefulness.

  • Post your nginx.conf and confguration file for that site. It's giving you fairly clear error messages though, have you tried looking where the error messages said to look? – Tim Jul 21 '16 at 20:13

I'm answering your updated question, about why this caused a problem. Without seeing your configuration files this is mostly a guess. I think your nginx.conf has a line something like this in it

include /etc/nginx/enabled-sites/*;

In that directory referenced you probably had the studentprogress.sock file. Nginx picked up the file and tried to interpret it as configuration. As it wasn't a valid Nginx configuration file it caused an error.

  • Ah that makes sense now. That is indeed what my config file looks like. Not sure why the file gives that error, even though it works for uWSGI – Peter Kaminski Jul 21 '16 at 21:09
  • Since you didn't post the contents of any of your files it's very difficult to answer that question. Please accept this answer if it helped solve your question. – Tim Jul 21 '16 at 21:33
