uwsgi: strange error message: unknown config directive: inifile

  • 772

I have a uwsgi.ini file. It works perfectly, but if I add strict=true it fails with the message

[strict-mode] unknown config directive: inifile

however the word inifile doesn't even exist in my inifile.

In order to reproduce the error I went so far, that I created a uwsgi.ini file with only two lines.

[uwsgi]
strict=true

If I run uwsgi --ini uwsgi.ini I get above mentioned error

If I set strict to false I get of course errors about missing parameters.

Even if I use a yaml file with following contents:

uwsgi:
    strict: true

and I call with uwsgi -y uwsgi.yaml

I get:

[uWSGI] getting YAML configuration from uwsgi.yaml
[strict-mode] unknown config directive: inifile

So I think uwsgi wants to tell me something different, but I don't know what.

I like to keep the strict flag to be protected against typos or options that became obsolete or just exist in newer versions. It is difficult to diagnose if I don't get help finding the offending line.

I tested with uwsgi 2.0.18 and 2.0.21

    If its not in your file, it could still be from one of the other source of configuration.

    You may not have that option in the specified file. But uwsgi, by default, parses environment minus the UWSGI_ prefix, should you have anything starting with that there. Confirm it using:

    env | grep -i uwsgi
