[Solved]502 bad gateway nginx. uwsgi, flask

Question

Ok so I developed a web app in python and it worked with the internal server:
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.app.run(debug = True)
with no issue at all. I am now trying to start up a nginx server with uwsgi running on arch linux, here are the config files:
the config.py for my app:
CSRF_ENABLED = True
SECRET_KEY = "you'll-never-know"
PROPAGATE_EXCEPTIONS = True
import os
basedir = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = 'sqlite:///' + os.path.join(basedir, 'app.db')
SQLALCHEMY_MIGRATE_REPO = os.path.join(basedir, 'db_repository')

As stated I am generating a 502 error when I connect to the servers internal address, this is coming out of the nginx error log:
2015/03/25 17:21:07 [error] 1340#0: *3 upstream prematurely closed connection while reading response header from upstream, client: [me], server: 192.xxx.x.xxx, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "uwsgi://unix:/run/uwsgi/test.sock:", host: "192.xxx.x.xxx"
http owns the socket so: ls -ld /run/uwsgi/test.sock
srw-rw-r-- 1 http http 0 Mar 25 17:17 /run/uwsgi/test.sock
I think I have everything on the uwsgi side installed: sudo pacman -Ss uwsgi

I had
plugins = python2
enabled [yes this is python2.7] in the main emperor.ini but it didn't do anything, either it is not needed or in the wrong spot. I have read a couple of other things here and at each packages site, not quite sure what I am missing though, but it is something. Thanks.

Answer 1

Two things I think helped to solve this
PROPAGATE_EXCEPTIONS = True
in config.py and I removed threading from my vassal ini file the ending uwsgi files looked like this:
/etc/uwsgi/emperor.ini:
[uwsgi]
emperor = /etc/uwsgi/vassals
master = true
plugins = python2
uid = http
gid = http
[/etc/uwsgi/vassals/test.ini:
[uwsgi]
chdir = /srv/http/test_dir/src
wsgi-file = run.py
callable = app
processes = 4
stats = 127.0.0.1:9191
max-requests = 5000
enable-threads = true
vacuum = true
thunder-lock = true
socket = /run/uwsgi/test-sock.sock
chmod-socket = 664
harakiri = 60
logto = /var/log/uwsgi/test.log
Not sure on the
PROPAGATE_EXCEPTIONS = True
but removing the threads option in test.ini and making sure there was a master option in emperor.ini seemed to have solved the issue of sql being tossed around to different treads, or at least it complaining about it and crashing the site out, either or.
Also don't use the uwsgi from this distribution, get it from pip, the distros are broken.
