I get unrecognized option '--wsgi-file' when trying to run uwsgi

I'm setting up a test Python App on a Ubuntu server. I've installed Nginx, Python, and uWSGI. Nginx is able to host static files, but I get the error "uWSGI Error Python application not found" when I try to access a Python app.

I have created a file named "app.py", which is a simple "Hello World" app. This file is added to the same directory as the static HTML file. The static file comes up, so Nginx appears to be working.

When I tried to access the Python app, I got the error "uWSGI Error Python application not found". I searched for this error and one recommendation is from https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/Django_and_nginx.html. It mentions I had to run the following command: uwsgi --http :8000 --wsgi-file test.py

I changed the port number and file name to what I have on my server. But I get the error: uwsgi: unrecognized option '--wsgi-file'

I googled this error and a link mentioned I would have to install the python plugin: uwsgi options --wsgi-file and --module not recognized

But when I did the commands in this URL, it says I already have the newest version.

If I just type uwsgi on the command prompt, it would give me the message: * WARNING: you are running uWSGI without its master process manager * your memory page size is 4096 bytes The -s/--socket option is missing and stdin is not a socket.

I was wondering if there are any items (e.g. programs, configuration settings) I need to look at to get uwsgi running and the web server able to host Python apps?

You can try running uwsgi by explicitly stating the plugin you want to load:

uwsgi --http-socket :8000 --plugin python --wsgi-file test.py
