uWSGI Emperor and Django 1.6 incorrectly reading urls.py

Question

I'm running a Ubuntu server with uWSGI and Django for my web apps.

I have uWSGI running in Emperor mode, so that all I have to do is add an ini file, and uWSGI immediately runs everything for me. I have 2 other apps on the server, running the same way, but for some reason the app I put up today is failing.

I added the ini file with the following contents:

[uwsgi]
# variables
projectname = site
projectdomain = site.domain.com
base = /var/www/site.domain.com

# config
protocol = uwsgi
venv = %(base)/venv
pythonpath = %(base)/%(projectname)
module = %(projectname).wsgi
socket = /tmp/%(projectname).sock
chmod-socket = 666
logto = /var/log/uwsgi/%(projectname).log
plugins=python

The directory structure is setup like so:

/var/www/site.domain.com
|- site
|--| (Django app stuff)
|- venv
|--bin, include, lib, local

"site" includes everything that would normally be in a django-admin.py startproject, including another folder called "site" with the settings, urls, init, and wsgi files.

"venv" is a folder I store my virtual environment in (from python virtaulenv)

And like I said, this site is setup exactly the same as my other sites, however I keep getting this error in my log file:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/var/www/site.domain.com/venv/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/handlers/wsgi.py", line 187, in __call__
    def _get_get(self):
  File "/var/www/site.domain.com/venv/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 49, in load_middleware

    except TypeError:

Any ideas?

EDIT: urls.py

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.conf.urls.i18n import i18n_patterns
from django.contrib import admin
from django.conf import settings

admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    url(r'^ckeditor/', include('islam_site.ckeditor_urls')),
    url(r'^blog/', include('zinnia.urls')),
    (r'^comments/', include('django.contrib.comments.urls')),
    url(r'^comments/', include('django.contrib.comments.urls')),
    url(r'^', include('cms.urls')),
)

UPDATE: I striped the application out of uwsgi emperor, and used gunicorn to make sure it wasn't anything in emperor and this was the output:

ImproperlyConfigured: The included urlconf site.urls doesn't have any patterns in it

It looks like mostly the same error..

I'm considering just rebuilding the app step by step on the server to avoid this kind of problem.

Answer 1

I finally decided to simply redo the application from scratch, and everything seems to be working now. Whatever the problem was, I wasn't able to reproduce it in the new application.
