I want to use the tilde (~) to point to the /home/user directory as I want to have relative paths in production, but doesn't seem to work in nginx.conf file, although it works fine with .ini files. Also tried $HOME and $(HOME)

location / { uwsgi_pass django; include ~/qa/web/projects/dynamic_testbeds/uwsgi_params; }

What is that I'm missing?

`~`, `$HOME` are for meaningless without current user. Who's homedir you want? – Alexey Ten Oct 30 '14 at 08:04
I want to point to whoever is loggedin. Example - `/home/rohit` if I'm logged in. – theblackpearl Oct 30 '14 at 16:29
