Run uwsgi --help for the full list of options (and their shortcuts). I suggest you to not use shortcuts, as you will forget what they mean soon. Use long format. -M --> --master Regarding config files, read here how they works: http://projects.unbit.it/uwsgi/wiki/Doc (you do not need to read it all, just the first part). Try that (call it foo.ini) [uwsgi] http = :8080 master = true Then uwsgi --ini foo.ini Go to your browser to port 8080, it will work for sure. I suspect you are trying with xml files, but without xml support. If you really love xml format, be sure to have installed libxml2-dev as described here: http://projects.unbit.it/uwsgi/wiki/Install and rebuild uWSGI. Finally, you are on Ubuntu, throw away those ancient init scripts and use what Ubuntu wants: upstart scripts http://projects.unbit.it/uwsgi/wiki/Upstart Obviously the previous link does not show you how upstart works, but you can find more complete docs on ubuntu site (it is a lot easier than init scripts and Ubuntu will not move to SystemD, so you'd better to invest a bit of time in it). Another important link is that one: http://projects.unbit.it/uwsgi/wiki/ThingsToKnow I think you have all the pieces. -- Roberto De Ioris http://unbit.it
