ERROR: Invalid HTTP_HOST header: '/webapps/../gunicorn.sock'

Question

After I deployed my Django App last night I got tons of strange Emails saying:

ERROR: Invalid HTTP_HOST header: \'/webapps/example_com/run/gunicorn.sock
         


        

Answer 1

I found the answer to my my question in a django bug report.

    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;

has to be replaced with:

    proxy_set_header Host $host;

to make nginx pass the correct headers from that on instead of the gunicorn socket the requested page was in the django alerts.
