Any help you can do by explaining in steps… What issues are you running into? Can you copy and paste any errors you’re receiving? Can you provide the configuration file you are using? What is the behavior you are expecting and what is the behavior you’re seeing? ---

Hello nitin Please check this configuration.It works for you. Server { listen localhost:8080; ``` listen [::]:8060 ipv6only=on; root /var/www; index index.html index.htm index.py; ``` location /html/ { ``` # Disable gzip (it makes scripts feel slower since they have to ``` complete ``` # before getting gzipped) gzip off; # Set the root to /usr/lib (inside this location this means that we ``` are ``` # giving access to the files under /usr/lib/cgi-bin) #root /var/www; # Fastcgi socket fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket; # Fastcgi parameters, include the standard ones include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; # Adjust non standard parameters (SCRIPT_FILENAME) fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; ``` } } ---

Hi Nitin, If you are looking for a tutorial on how to get a python application up and running with NGINX check out this tutorial: > **[How To Set Up uWSGI and Nginx to Serve Python Apps on Ubuntu 14.04 |...](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-uwsgi-and-nginx-to-serve-python-apps-on-ubuntu-14-04)** > > In this guide, we will be setting up a simple WSGI application served by uWSGI. We will use the Nginx web server as a reverse proxy to the application server… [https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-uwsgi-and-nginx-to-serve-python-apps-on-ubuntu-14-04](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-uwsgi-and-nginx-to-serve-python-apps-on-ubuntu-14-04) For future reference, Digital Ocean has some really well written tutorials to give you a place to start. Our community is a great place to ask questions once you get stuck. The best way to get help when you are stuck is to send: \*your configuration file \*the error logs you’re getting \*any other relevant code I find it most helpful if someone also includes what behavior they are expecting the program to perform and what they are seeing it do in reality. Hopefully this is helpful! Shannon Jr. Developer Advocate NGINX
