upstream prematurely closed connection (uwsgi + ng

Question

I am trying to configure my django application on a new server. It works fine unless I try to pass GET parameters. I get the following errors.

uWSGI:

[pid: 21530|app: 0|req: 8/9] 109.68.173.7 () {42 vars in 880 bytes} [Thu Mar  2 17:19:29 2017] GET /install/?token=123&shop=1234&insales_id=124 => generated 0 bytes in 71 msecs (HTTP/1.1 500) 0 headers in 0 bytes (0 switches on core 0)

nginx:

2017/03/02 09:19:29 [error] 21644#0: *1 upstream prematurely closed connection while reading response header from upstream, client: 109.68.173.7, server: 151-248-112-157.xen.vps.regruhosting.ru, request: "GET /install/?token=123&shop=1234&insales_id=124 HTTP/1.1", upstream: "uwsgi://unix:/home/trackpost.sock:", host: "151-248-112-157.xen.vps.regruhosting.ru"

My config files. nginx.conf:

}

app.ini (uwsgi):

    [uwsgi]
project = trackpost
username = rajansnow
base = /home/%(username)/django

chdir = %(base)/%(project)
home = %(base)/venv
module = %(project).wsgi:application
plugin = python

master = true
processes = 5

uid = rajansnow
socket = /home/trackpost.sock
chown-socket = rajansnow:nginx
chmod-socket = 666
vacuum = true

touch-reload = /home/rajansnow/django/trackpost/uwsgi.ini
py-autoreload = 3
harakiri = 30

My code is a bit shitty, I know that. But it worked on my previous server, which was Debian based. The current is CentOS based. I've tried everything I found on SO, and no luck. What can I do to fix that?

Answer 1

It's time for mysteries, kids!

The problem mentioned in the question was solved by hard-checking every project file. It turned out that some of them contained unexpected symbols, which used to make Django throw encoding errors, and, as a result, make uwsgi stop.

The mystery part is that the files had been last modified a long time before the problem occured. So how could it happen that they contain extra symbols? Nobody knows.

At least for now, we can say it's solved.
