Django on Nginx help needed

Question

I am trying to deploy my website to aws ec2. It's in python/django and I want to learn how to deploy websites myself. I had some issues with aws's EBS so first I'd like to know how to do that manually. I decided to use gunicorn and nginx for this.

I can run the website using gunicorn on a virtual env and I created the following script in /home/ec2-user/gunicorn_start.bash:

#!/bin/bash

NAME="davidbiencom"                                  # Name of the 
application
DJANGODIR=/home/ec2-user/davidbien             # Django project directory
SOCKFILE=/home/ec2-user/virtual/run/gunicorn.sock
USER=ec2-user                                     
GROUP=ec2-user                                    
NUM_WORKERS=3                                     
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=davidbiencom.settings             
DJANGO_WSGI_MODULE=davidbiencom.wsgi                     

echo "Starting $NAME as `whoami`"

# Activate the virtual environment
cd $DJANGODIR
source /home/ec2-user/virtual/bin/activate
export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=$DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE
export PYTHONPATH=$DJANGODIR:$PYTHONPATH
# Create the run directory if it doesn't exist
RUNDIR=$(dirname $SOCKFILE)
test -d $RUNDIR || mkdir -p $RUNDIR

# Start your Django Unicorn
# Programs meant to be run under supervisor should not daemonize themselves (do$
exec gunicorn ${DJANGO_WSGI_MODULE}:application \
--name $NAME \
--workers $NUM_WORKERS \
--user=$USER --group=$GROUP \
--bind=unix:$SOCKFILE \
--log-level=debug \
--log-file=-

This runs fine I believe as there are no errors. Next I install nginx and start the service. I confirm it's running as I get the welcome page. Next I do the following:

Go to /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and add the following to http

include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*.conf;

I then create two folders in /etc/nginx/ sites-available and sites-enabled. I create a file davidbien.conf and enter the following inside(UPDATED):

upstream app_server {
# fail_timeout=0 means we always retry an upstream even if it failed
# to return a good HTTP response

# for UNIX domain socket setups
server unix:/home/ec2-user/virtual/run/gunicorn.sock fail_timeout=0;

# for a TCP configuration
# server 192.168.0.7:8000 fail_timeout=0;
}

server {
listen 80;
server_name 35.176.185.50;

#Max upload size
client_max_body_size 75M;   # adjust to taste

location /static/ {
    root /home/ec2-user/davidbien/static;
}

location / {
  # checks for static file, if not found proxy to app
  try_files $uri @proxy_to_app;
}

location @proxy_to_app {
  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
  # enable this if and only if you use HTTPS
  # proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
  proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
  # we don't want nginx trying to do something clever with
  # redirects, we set the Host: header above already.
  proxy_redirect off;
  proxy_pass http://app_server;
  }
}

I save this file and run the following command:

ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/davidbiencom.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/davidbiencom.conf

After this is done I restart nginx and I when I enter the ip address I get 502 bad gateway error.

What could be wrong here? Thank you.

EDIT: Here's the error logs from var/log/nginx/error.log
