Uwsgi return zero status code even if it hasn't been run

[bekbulatov]

After running uwsgi in daemon mode,

uwsgi --http-socket=127.0.0.1:8000 --daemonize=/logs/uwsgi_log

returns 0 even if server hasn't been run (port is busy, no permission to open logs, etc) but pid file is created successfully.

I'd like to check exit code and delete pid file in this case.

You may want to try --daemonize2 that daemonize only after app loading (and combined with --need-app will return an exit code on app loading error instead of going in dynamic mode)

Thank you, it works. But should I delete pid file manually in my rc script or is there any option for that?
Upd. But with --daemonize2 I got another issue:
When I run with --uid, --gid options I got en error

open("/var/run/uwsgi.pid"): Permission denied [core/utils.c line 4225]

But master process creates this file with root owner I can't write it later.

use --pidfile2 it postpone the pidfile creation. The --vacuum option will clear pidfile and unix sockets, you can try with it.

Can we close this issue?

Thank you. I've managed to run server with --pidfile2, --daemonize2, --need-app options and get what I want. But I'm still having "Permission denied" issue when running from different user (--uid, --gid). Can't open pid file.
