Ok here is what I have already tried, on the nginx

#location ~ \.lua$ {
#    include uwsgi_params;
#    uwsgi_modifier1 6;
#    uwsgi_pass unix:/var/run/uwsgi/luajit/socket;
#}


#location ~ / {
#                include uwsgi_params;
#                uwsgi_param UWSGI_FILE $request_filename;
#                uwsgi_param UWSGI_TOUCH_RELOAD $request_filename;
#                uwsgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $uri;
#                uwsgi_modifier1 9;
#                if (-f $request_filename) {
#                 uwsgi_pass unix:/var/run/uwsgi/luajit/socket;
#
#                }
#        }
#location ~ \.cgi$ {
#    include fastcgi_params;
#    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/uwsgi/luajit/socket;
#    uwsgi_modifier1 9;
#
#}

#location ~ / {
#                include uwsgi_params;
#                uwsgi_param UWSGI_FILE test.cgi;
#                uwsgi_param SCRIPT_NAME test.cgi;
#                uwsgi_modifier1 9;
#3uwsgi_pass unix:/var/run/uwsgi/luajit/socket;
#        }

here is my uwsgi, config

default.xml

<uwsgi>
    <autoload>true</autoload>
    <master>true</master>
    <threads>25</threads>
    <workers>2</workers>
    <no-orphans>true</no-orphans>
    <pidfile>/var/run/uwsgi/%n/pid</pidfile>
    <socket>/var/run/uwsgi/%n/socket</socket>
    <chmod-socket>660</chmod-socket>
    <log-date>true</log-date>
    <uid>www-data</uid>
    <gid>www-data</gid>
</uwsgi>

luajit.xml

<uwsgi>
    <plugins>luajit</plugins>
    <protocol>uwsgi</protocol>
</uwsgi>

I have tried doing this so many way, I have even lost count. I couldn’t even get anything doing regular cgi. I prefer to do it like this,

test.lua > wsapi > luajit plugin uwsgi server > uwsgi protocol > nginx

But really at this point, i would like uwsgi work at all. I am running this on Ubuntu, so it is the debianized modular version of uwsgi.

can i run legacy cgi style scripts like this? what is wsapi.cgi? does it wrap lua cgi as wsapi, or lua wsapi as cgi.

I’m so lost, been at this for almost a week.

Would really appreciate any help. Even just to push me in the correct direction.
I was unable to find any documentation, or write-ups. which is why I’m posting.
