[Fixed]-WSGI module and Django settings locations

✅

In this case, to reference to django settings, all you need to do is chdir from your uwsgi.ini to /proj/ directory. Now load your wsgi.py file (you can keep it in your app/ subdirectory, it doesn’t contain any settings) from it using module uWSGI setting and set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE to app.settings, without anything else (it is enough to set it only in wsgi.py file).

It should look like this (if you’ve moved your wsgi.py back to app/):

uwsgi.ini:

[uwsgi]
# ...
chdir = /proj/
module = app.wsgi

wsgi.py

import os

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application

os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "app.settings")
application = get_wsgi_application()

If you don’t want (for some reason) to keep your wsgi.py file in app/, your uwsgi.py should have:

[uwsgi]
# ...
chdir = /proj/
module = web_config.prod.wsgi

But web_config and prod should be proper python modules (in python 2 they must have __init__.py file inside). Content of wsgi.py doesn’t change.
