We need nginx, uwsgi and uwsgi-plugin-python packages.

Create a virtualhost at /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mozevents

server {
  listen  80;
  server_name eventos.mozilla-hispano.org;
  access_log /var/log/nginx/eventos.mozilla-hispano.org.access.log;
  error_log /var/log/nginx/eventos.mozilla-hispano.org.error.log;

    location / {
        uwsgi_pass unix:///tmp/eventos.mozilla-hispano.org.sock;
        include uwsgi_params;
    }
    
    
    location /media/ {
        alias /var/www/mozevents/public/media/;
    }
    
    
    location /static/ {
        alias /var/www/mozevents/static/;
    }
}

Create uwsgi app at /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/eventos.mozilla-hispano.org.ini

[uwsgi]
vhost = true
plugins = python
socket = /tmp/eventos.mozilla-hispano.org.sock
master = true
enable-threads = true
processes = 2
wsgi-file = /var/www/mozevents/public/wsgi_handler.py
virtualenv = /var/www/mozevents/
chdir = /var/www/mozevents

Restart services:

$ sudo service nginx restart
$ sudo service uwsgi restart
