    v17 v18  
    1 nginx is a reverse proxy and needs to connect to a server that contains django. This guide is for using [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/fastcgi/ fastcgi], but you could instead use
    2 [http://bartek.im/blog/2009/04/06/setting-up-nginx-django.html apache+mod_wsgi],
    3 [http://senko.net/en/django-nginx-gunicorn/ gunicorn],
    4 [https://www.google.com/search?q=nginx+uwsgi+django uwsgi], or
    5 [http://www.rkblog.rk.edu.pl/w/p/django-nginx/#3 SCGI+Cherokee]
     1This page focused on fastcgi which is now deprecated.

    7 ----
    8 This assumes you are using ubuntu 10.04 or later.
    9 
    10 You'll need nginx and flup installed.
    11 {{{
    12 sudo aptitude install nginx python-flup
    13 }}}
    14 
    15 In your django project, start up fastcgi. See the [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/fastcgi/ fastcgi docs] for more info.
    16 {{{
    17 python ./manage.py runfcgi host=127.0.0.1 port=8080
    18 }}}
    19 
    20 
    21 Next, we need to create a configuration file in `/etc/nginx/sites-available/sample_project.conf` and symlink it to `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/sample_project.conf`:
    22 {{{
    23 sudo touch /etc/nginx/sites-available/sample_project.conf
    24 sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/sample_project.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/sample_project.conf
    25 }}}
    26 
    27 Here is what a minimal conf file would look like:
    28 {{{
    29 server {
    30     listen 80;
    31     server_name myhostname.com;
    32     access_log /var/log/nginx/sample_project.access.log;
    33     error_log /var/log/nginx/sample_project.error.log;
    34 
    35     # https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/#serving-static-files-in-production
    36     location /static/ { # STATIC_URL
    37         alias /home/www/myhostname.com/static/; # STATIC_ROOT
    38         expires 30d;
    39     }
    40 
    41     location /media/ { # MEDIA_URL
    42         alias /home/www/myhostname/static/; # MEDIA_ROOT
    43         expires 30d;
    44     }
    45 
    46     location / {
    47         include fastcgi_params;
    48         fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:8080;
    49     }
    50 }
    51 }}}
    52 
    53 Now, reload nginx.
    54 {{{
    55 sudo /etc/init.d/nginx reload
    56 }}}
    57 
    58 If your urls are not working correctly, you may need to add this line to `location /`:
    59 {{{
    60     fastcgi_split_path_info ^()(.*)$;
    61 }}}
    62 
    63 You may use a unix socket instead of a port number like so: `fastcgi_pass unix:/home/www/myhostname/fastcgi.sock`
    64 
    65 You'll probably want to keep your fastcgi process running using [http://blog.bashton.com/2011/using-django-fastcgi-with-upstart/ upstart], [https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/InitdScriptForLinux init.d], or [http://web.archive.org/web/20120113102046/http://just-another.net/byteflowdjango-supervisord-nginx-win supervisor] (archive.org)
