Anyone knows if using nginx would avoid the internal HTTP Python server?
It appears that nginx is used as a proxy in front of the Python/Paste server, not as a replacement. You could use something like mod_wsgi with Apache instead of that server, but nobody seems to be doing that at the moment, as far as I can tell. Many Python Web projects seem to favour mod_wsgi as a deployment option for WSGI, so it's a safe choice.
Sorry guys but I have to tell you this is why Python is considered a crap for big projects. When things like this fail, only the original developer knows how to fix it.
There are a lot more factors affecting reliability and ease of maintenance in "big projects" than the matter of which programming language was used.
Agree. But the fact that you cannot easily rapidly debug the failing expression is dissapointing.
What do you have for your host and port in your configuration file?
This would appear to be the problem, the values of these options are not parsing to something the server can understand.
Finally I've found the problem, yes it was a typo in the host setting in the universe file. Thanks for your tip. Cheers, Macelo
