Permission denied - nginx and uwsgi socket
I think you just need to change your socket file to 666(664 is ok with www-data), or remove it and run uwsgi server again.
In my uwsgi.ini:
chmod-socket = 664
uid = www-data
gid = www-data
Wow, this problem takes me almost a whole day!
I use uwsgi 2.0.14, nginx 1.10.1, django 1.10
To sum up, the most important thing is to make sure both of below two users have rwx
permission to socket
file:
- the user of
nginx
; - the user of
uWSGI
;
So, you can check them one by one.
First you can check if the web server nginx
has permission by refreshing the url, say http://192.168.201.210:8024/morning/, without running uwsgi. If you see /var/log/nginx/error.log
No such file or directory, like this:
2016/10/14 16:53:49 [crit] 17099#0: *19 connect() to unix:///usr/share/nginx/html/test/helloworld.sock failed (2: No such file or directory) while connecting to upstream, client: 192.168.201.140, server: belter-tuesday.com, request: "GET /morning/ HTTP/1.1", upstream: "uwsgi://unix:///usr/share/nginx/html/test/helloworld.sock:", host: "192.168.201.210:8024"
Just create a file named helloworld.sock
, and refresh the url and check log file again, if you see Permission denied in log file, like this:
2016/10/14 17:00:45 [crit] 17099#0: *22 connect() to unix:///usr/share/nginx/html/test/helloworld.sock failed (13: Permission denied) while connecting to upstream, client: 192.168.201.140, server: belter-tuesday.com, request: "GET /morning/ HTTP/1.1", upstream: "uwsgi://unix:///usr/share/nginx/html/test/helloworld.sock:", host: "192.168.201.210:8024"
It means web server nginx
does not have all permission to read, write and execute. So you can grant permission to this file:
sudo chmod 0777 helloworld.sock
Then, refresh the url and check log file again, if you see Connection refused in log file, like this:
2016/10/14 17:09:28 [error] 17099#0: *25 connect() to unix:///usr/share/nginx/html/test/helloworld.sock failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: 192.168.201.140, server: belter-tuesday.com, request: "GET /morning/ HTTP/1.1", upstream: "uwsgi://unix:///usr/share/nginx/html/test/helloworld.sock:", host: "192.168.201.210:8024"
This is a good sign, it means your web server nginx
has the permission to use helloworld.sock
file from now on.
Next to run uwsgi
and check if the user of uwsgi
has permission to use helloworld.sock
. Firstly, remove the file helloworld.sock
we have created before.
Run uwsgi: uwsgi --socket /usr/share/nginx/html/test/helloworld.sock --wsgi-file wsgi.py
If you see bind(): Permission denied [core/socket.c line 230], it means uwsgi
don't have permission to bind helloworld.sock
. This is the problem of the directory test
, the parent directory of helloworld.sock
.
sudo chmod 0777 test/
Now, you can run uwsgi
successful.
But maybe you still see 502 Bad Gateway, it's terrible, I have seen it all day. If you check error.log
file again, you will see this again:
2016/10/14 17:33:00 [crit] 17099#0: *28 connect() to unix:///usr/share/nginx/html/test/helloworld.sock failed (13: Permission denied) while connecting to upstream, client: 192.168.201.140, server: belter-tuesday.com, request: "GET /morning/ HTTP/1.1", upstream: "uwsgi://unix:///usr/share/nginx/html/test/helloworld.sock:", host: "192.168.201.210:8024"
What's wrong???
Check the detail of helloworld.sock
file, you can see:
srwxr-xr-x. 1 belter mslab 0 Oct 14 17:32 helloworld.sock
uWSGI
gives this file 755
permission automatically.
You can change it by adding --chmod-socket
:
uwsgi --socket /usr/share/nginx/html/test/helloworld.sock --wsgi-file wsgi.py --chmod-socket=777
OK! Finally, you can see:
Take away message:
uwsgi_params
file's location is not important;- Since my
nginx
user anduwsgi
user not same and even not at the same group, so I need to give777
permission tohelloworld.sock
and its parent dirtest/
; - If you put
helloworld.sock
file in your home directory, you'll always get Permission denied. - There are two places you need to set the
socket
file path, one in nginx conf file, for me it ishelloworld_nginx.conf
; one when you run uwsgi. - Check SELinux
This is my helloworld_nginx.conf
file:
# helloworld_nginx.conf
upstream django {
server unix:///usr/share/nginx/html/test/helloworld.sock; # for a file socket
# server 127.0.0.1:5902; # for a web port socket (we'll use this first)
}
# configuration of the server
server {
# the port your site will be served on
listen 8024;
# the domain name it will serve for
server_name .belter-tuesday.com; # substitute your machine's IP address or FQDN
charset utf-8;
# max upload size
client_max_body_size 75M; # adjust to taste
# Finally, send all non-media requests to the Django server.
location /morning {
include uwsgi_params;
uwsgi_pass django;
}
}
