django w/ uwsgi Fatal Python error: initfsencoding: Unable to get the locale encoding


I am trying to do a uwsgi installation and I get the following error

Fatal Python error: initfsencoding: Unable to get the locale encoding

in my logs.

in my .ini I set the pythonpath

$ cat /etc/uwsgi/sites/exchange.ini

[uwsgi]
project = exchange
uid = kermit
base = /home/%(uid)

chdir = %(base)/www/src/%(project)
home = %(base)/Env/
module = %(project).wsgi:application
pythonpath = /home/kermit/www/src/exchange

master = true
processes = 5

socket = /run/uwsgi/%(project).sock
chown-socket = %(uid):www-data
chmod-socket = 660
vacuum = true

but I can't tell if it is actually loaded

echo $PYTHONPATH

comes up empty, even when attempting from user environment

in my .bashrc I have

fi
export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3
export WORKON_HOME=~/Env
#export PYTHONPATH=~/www/src/exchange
source /usr/share/virtualenvwrapper/virtualenvwrapper.sh

directory structure:

I did check other url on the topic, they all indicate my pythonpath is incorrect, I just can't figure how I am doing it incorrect.

How do you set the pythonpath correctly for uwsgi? I'm pretty sure that's where my error is.

Solution

  • To expand on the comments:

    Given the structure shown by

    root@tuna:/home/kermit# ls /home/kermit/Env/
    get_env_details  postactivate    postmkproject     postrmvirtualenv  predeactivate  premkvirtualenv  secret
    initialize       postdeactivate  postmkvirtualenv  preactivate       premkproject   prermvirtualenv
    root@tuna:/home/kermit# ls /home/kermit/Env/secret/
    bin  include  lib
    root@tuna:/home/kermit# ls /home/kermit/Env/secret/bin/
    activate       activate.ps1      django-admin     easy_install-3.7  pip3          postdeactivate  __pycache__  python3.7      uwsgi
    activate.csh   activate_this.py  django-admin.py  get_env_details   pip3.7        preactivate     python       python-config  wheel
    activate.fish  activate.xsh      easy_install     pip               postactivate  predeactivate   python3      sqlformat
    

    the correct value for virtualenv = should be /home/kermit/Env/secret.
