After pip has installed uWSGI, there is no / etc / uwsgi / directory - how can I use applications?

I used apt-get install uwsgi to install uWSGI for my Django application. Today I realized that I need a function that was not available before uWSGI 1.1, and Ubuntu 12.04.1 has nothing after 1.0.x, at least according to my attempt to apt-get install uwsgi=1.1 . So, I used:

 pip install http://projects.unbit.it/downloads/uwsgi-lts.tar.gz

After that, I get a message about the assignment of /usr/local/bin/uwsgi to run the program. I am not a guru when it comes to compiling from source, but I understand that when you do this, nothing will be changed in the /etc/ directory. It's right? If not, why don't I have a directory /etc/uwsgi/ and, more specifically, a directory /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/ ? Should I just create directories when installing uWSGI from source? I did not dare to do this, given that there is no mention in the documents (I do not want something to work accidentally, etc.).

Sorry for this very late answer, but maybe this will help people who find this answer in the future:

To get /etc/uwsgi , etc., you need to install the uwsgi package from Debian or Ubuntu (no matter what you use) by running aptitutde install uwsgi . However, this will probably install an ancient version of uwsgi by default! The uwsgi binary is placed in /usr/bin/uwsgi when you install uwsgi in this way.

To get the latest version, also install uwsgi using pip with pip install -U uwsgi , which (at least on my Ubuntu system) will put the uwsgi binary in /usr/local/bin/uwsgi , and then do the following:

cd /usr/bin/

mv uwsgi uwsgi-old

ln -s /usr/local/bin/uwsgi uwsgi

Alternatively: edit the uwsgi init script and edit DAEMON="/usr/bin/uwsgi" accordingly.

Et voila: "debianism" (full init scripts, etc.) and the latest uwsgi binary!

/ etc / uwsgi and friends are "debianism." The uWSGI project is associated with the sysadmin style, so if you like the / etc / uwsgi approach, just create a directory, drop the configuration files in it and run UWSGI Emperor to manage the instances.
