Fwd: nginx performance on Amazon EC2

on 2013-02-20 21:14

Hello,

I am running a django app with nginx & uwsgi on an amazon ec2 instance 
and
a vmware machine almost the same size as the ec2 one. Here's how i run
uwsgi:

sudo uwsgi -b 25000 --chdir=/www/python/apps/pyapp
--module=wsgi:application --env DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=settings
--socket=/tmp/pyapp.socket --cheaper=8 --processes=16  --harakiri=10
--max-requests=5000  --vacuum --master --pidfile=/tmp/pyapp-master.pid
--uid=220 --gid=499

& nginx configurations:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name test.com

    root /www/python/apps/pyapp/;

    access_log /var/log/nginx/test.com.access.log;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/test.com.error.log;

    # 
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static...
    location /static/ {
        alias /www/python/apps/pyapp/static/;
        expires 30d;
    }

    location /media/ {
        alias /www/python/apps/pyapp/media/;
        expires 30d;
    }

    location / {
        uwsgi_pass unix:///tmp/pyapp.socket;
        include uwsgi_params;
        proxy_read_timeout 120;
    }

    # what to serve if upstream is not available or crashes
    #error_page 500 502 503 504 /media/50x.html;}

Here comes the problem. When doing "ab" (ApacheBenchmark) on both 
machines
i get the following results: (vmware machine being almost the same size 
as
the ec2 small instance)

*Amazon EC2:*

As you can see... all requests on the ec2 instance fail with either 
timeout
errors or "Client prematurely disconnected". However, on my vmware 
machine
all requests go through with no problems. The other thing is the 
difference
in reqs / second i am doing on both machines.

What am i doing wrong on ec2?
