uwsgi upstart on amazon linux

To fix this I did a few things.
– Moved all scripts from the home directory to an /var/www/
– created an www group and www user and chown /var/www to www:www

Full Instructions

1. Create a user and group www and www

   sudo groupadd www
   sudo adduser www -g www
   

2. create a dir where your flask application will be ie /var/www/

   sudo chown -R www:www /var/www
