But got below uwsgi error,

/home/ubuntu/web/lightea.com/wsgi.py

import os, sys, site, django.core.handlers.wsgi

SITE_DIR = '/home/ubuntu/web/lightea.com/elderlytracking/django_test/'
site.addsitedir(SITE_DIR)
sys.path.append(SITE_DIR)

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'django_test.settings'
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

setting.py is inside /home/ubuntu/web/lightea.com/elderlytracking/django_test/django_test folder.

Try this one :

import os
import sys

sys.path.append('/home/ubuntu/web/lightea.com/elderlytracking/django_test')
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "django_test.settings") # here django_test is a directory within django_test project 

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()
