Serving django with nginx and uWSGI

I followed this post to serve my django project. The project runs well with manage.py runserver and I want to set it up for production. Here are my setting files:

nginx.conf:

upstream django {
    server /tmp/vc.sock;
    #server 10.9.1.137:8002;
}

server {
    listen      8001;
    server_name 10.9.1.137;
    charset     utf-8;
    client_max_body_size 25M;

    location /media  {
        alias /home/deploy/vc/media;
    }
    location /static {
        alias /home/deploy/vc/static;
    }


    location / {
        uwsgi_pass  django;
        include     /etc/nginx/uwsgi_params;
    }
}

uwsgi.ini:

[uwsgi]

chdir           = /home/deploy/vc
wsgi-file      = vc/wsgi.py

master          = true
processes       = 2
#socket          = :8002
socket          = /tmp/vc.sock
chmod-socket    = 666
vacuum          = true

If I use TCP port socket (server 10.9.1.137:8002 and socket = :8002), it's going to be fine. However if I comment them out and use Unix sockets(server /tmp/vc.sock and socket = /tmp/vc.sock), the server will return 502 error. How should I fix it?

EDIT

Here's the nginx error log when I run /etc/init.d/nginx restart

nginx: [emerg] invalid host in upstream "/tmp/vc.sock" in /etc/nginx/conf.d/vc.conf:2
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

And this is the warning when I run uwsgi --ini vc/uwsgi.ini:

*** WARNING: you are running uWSGI as root !!! (use the --uid flag) ***

Can't I run uWSGI as root?

roberto's comment should be an answer!

the syntax in nginx for unix socket path is wrong, you need to prefix it with unix:

Check your nginx error log, very probably is telling you it does not have permissions to the socket. Unix sockets honour file system permissions, so nginx must have write privilege over the socket file. Short answer: 664 is not enough, you need 666
