MODULE=graphite.wsgi

root /user/share/graphite/static; from the nginx config file should most likely read root /usr/share/graphite-web/static;.

Here's an init config file to manage the uwsgi process if anyone else needs one:

# cat /etc/init/uwsgi.conf 
description "uWSGI"

start on runlevel [2345]
start on (net-device-up
          and local-filesystems
          and runlevel [2345]
          and started nginx)
stop on runlevel [06]

env UWSGI=/usr/local/bin/uwsgi
env LOGFILE=/var/log/uwsgi/emperor.log

exec $UWSGI --master --emperor /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled --die-on-term --logto $LOGFILE```
