Running django application on port 80 using nginx

I have a Django+nginx+uwsgi stack set up on my Production server and I'm trying to get it to run on port 80. To test my Django app, I tried manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:80 but it gave me a permissions issue. I attempted to sudo the command but django is only installed on my virtualenv so it ran into issues. I can hit my server on port 80 through a browser and it has the default nginx splash page. Here are my config files:

nginx.conf

# mysite_nginx.conf

# the upstream component nginx needs to connect to
upstream django {
    server 127.0.0.1:8000; # for a web port socket (we'll use this first)
}

# configuration of the server
server {
    # the port your site will be served on and the domain name it will serve for
    listen      8000;
    server_name ip-address-here; # substitute your machine's IP address or FQD

    root /home/user1;
    access_log /home/user1/logs/access.log;
    error_log /home/user1/logs/error.log;
    charset     utf-8;

    gzip on;
    # max upload size
    client_max_body_size 75M;   # adjust to taste

    # Django media
    location /media/  {
        alias /home/user1/Project/static/img/;  # your Django project's media files - ame$
    }

    location /static/ {
        alias /home/user1/Project/static/; # your Django project's static files - amend a$
    }

    location /img/ {
        autoindex on;
    }

    # Finally, send all non-media requests to the Django server.
    location / {
        uwsgi_pass  127.0.0.1:8889;
        include     uwsgi_params; # the uwsgi_params file you installed
    }
}

uwsgi.ini

[uwsgi]
# variables
projectname = Project
projectdomain = project.com
base = /home/user1

# config
master = true
protocol = uwsgi
env = DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=%(projectname).settings
pythonpath = %(base)/%(projectname)
module = %(projectname).wsgi:application
socket = 127.0.0.1:8889
logto = %(base)/logs/uwsgi.log

#below line runs it as a daemon in background
daemonize = /home/user1/logs/project_uwsgi.log

Also, when it comes to running a stack like this, what kind of users should I have set up? Ie. What user should I run nginx as? What user should I set up my project under? Currently, I have my project set up under the /home/user1 directory, and I'm running nginx as user1. I also use user1 to ssh into my machine. I have disabled the root account for security purposes, but user1 has sudo privileges.

You have nginx serving on port 8000, but it should be 80.

If you installed it through your distribution's package manager, it should set up the users for you.
