title: uWSGI won't reload, restart or let me run service
body: <p>I have a fairly big issue.</p>
  
  <p>I am very new to uwsgi and am not 100% sure on how to debug this issue but I will give you information on where I am at.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I have previously had sites working on this configuration and suddenly it isn't working.</li>
  <li>I am running Emperor mode.</li>
  <li>My ini files are ok when I use command line to run them but it seems they wont automatically start</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>When I run <code>uwsgi reload</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo service uwsgi reload
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get this error</p>
  
  <pre><code>* Reloading app server(s) uwsgi
  ...fail!
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thats it. I get nothing else.</p>
  
  <p>I have been looking for hours on stack overflow and haven't found anything that outlines this problem exactly, I found a lot to do with peoples .ini files but I know that is NOT my issue because when running my site manually via <code>uwsgi --ini MYINI.ini</code> then accessing it it runs perfectly fine, the issue is in uWSGI and I don't know how to find the solution to this one. I have looked in the documents and can't find anything on this particular error.</p>
  
  <p>If  this interests anyone here is my uwsgi-server.conf file</p>
  
  <pre><code>description     "uWSGI Emperor"
  
  start on runlevel [2345]
  stop on runlevel [!2345]
  
  respawn
  
  env LOGTO=/var/log/uwsgi.log
  env BINPATH=/usr/local/bin/uwsgi
  
  exec $BINPATH --emperor /etc/uwsgi/vassals --logto $LOGTO
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any insight would be appreciated. I feel like I am missing something but being so new with uWSGI I cant even guess as to what it may be, To me this all looks ok as per the documentation.</p>
  
  <p>If you need any more information on my setup please just ask.</p>
