I've just hit the same issue - I was wondering why I couldn't shut down
or restart the service!
In looking at how to fix it I see that /lib/init/init-d-script will call
a do_start_prepare function if defined, so I've edited
/etc/init.d/uwsgi-emperor to add this towards the end to pre-create the
pidfile (as uwsgi will just write to it if it exists):
do_start_prepare() {
# Create with correct permissions in advance as uwsgi with
--daemonize creates it world write otherwise
touch "$PIDFILE"
}
That seems to do the job (dunno if it's worth/problematic to set umask
explicitly in the init.d script as well to ensure that pidfile is
correctly created).
