sockets - wsgi nginx error: permission denied while connecting to upstream -

there seem many questions on stackoverflow unfortunately nothing has worked me.

i'm getting 502 bad gateway on nginx, , following on logs: connect() ...myproject.sock failed (13: permission denied) while connecting upstream

i'm running wsgi , nginx on ubuntu, , i've been following this guide digital ocean. apparently configured wsgi correctly since uwsgi -s myproject.sock --http 0.0.0.0:8000 --module app --callable app worked, keep getting nginx permission denied error , have no idea why:

after coming across this question , this other one, changed .ini file , added chown-socket, chmod-socket, uid , gid parameters (also tried setting first two, either or, , couple of different permission settings --and permissive didn't work).

this 1 seemed promising, don't believe selinux installed on ubuntu (running sudo apt-get remove selinux gives "package 'selinux' not installed, not removed" , find / -name "selinux" doesn't show anything). in case, though, tried this post recommended well. uninstalling apparmor (sudo apt-get install apparmor) didn't work either.

every time make change, run sudo service nginx restart, see 502 gateway error (and permission denied error when read logs).

this is nginx configuration file:

server {     listen 80;     server_name 104.131.110.156;      location / {         include uwsgi_params;         uwsgi_pass unix:/home/user/myproject/web_server/myproject.sock;     } } 

.conf file:

description "uwsgi server instance configured serve myproject"  start on runlevel [2345] stop on runlevel [!2345]  setuid user setgid www-data  env path=/root/.virtualenvs/my-env/bin chdir /home/user/myproject/web_server exec uwsgi --ini /home/user/myproject/web_server/myproject.ini 

.ini file:

[uwsgi] module = wsgi  master = true processes = 5  socket = /home/user/myproject/web_server/myproject.sock chown-socket=www-data:www-data chmod-socket = 664 uid = www-data gid = www-data  vacuum = true die-on-term = true 

(if helps, these specs of digital ocean machine: linux 3.13.0-43-generic #72-ubuntu smp mon dec 8 19:35:06 utc 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 gnu/linux)

please let me know if there's can do, , thank much.

i followed tutorial , ran same issue. after quite bit of trial , error, following steps allowed me run uwsgi , nginx successfully:

my nginx.config file:

server {     listen 80;     server_name localhost;      location / { try_files @yourapplication; }     location @yourapplication; {         include uwsgi_params;         uwsgi_pass unix:/path_to_project/project.sock;     } } 

my .ini file wasn't working well, decided take advantage of uwsgi's extensive arguments available. here's used:

uwsgi -s /path_to_project/project.sock -w wsgi:app -h /path_to_project/venv --http-processes=4 --chmod-socket=666 --master &

where:

-s /path_to_project/project.sock = location of .sock file

-w wsgi:app = location of wsgi.py file , app being name of flask object

-h /path_to_project/venv = location of virtual environment

--http-processes=4 = number of http processes uwsgi create

--chmod-socket=666 = permissions set on socket

--master = allow uwsgi run master process manager

& = run uwsgi in background

hope helps!
