Looking at the error, it seems like something somewhere is re-directing to HTTP/2 or the request is based off of HTTP/2 and all the components in the stack don't support HTTP/2, leading to the error message.

I haven't played a lot with HTTP/2 yet so I am not sure which specific component in the stack could be incompatible here.

Degraded layout is due to missing static files since the development server that you spun off doesn't serve static files. So, that is okay.

Django version is 2.2.6-1ubuntu1
Disabling HTTP2 in nginx means disabling it for all server blocks listening on the same IP, which would degrade all other servers.
Doing so leads to another error: This page isn’t working <mysite> didn’t send any data. ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE
I cannot run nginx and apache on the same <ip_address>:443 port either.

I found no error in mailman3 or syslog logs. In /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg, I have:

[logging.debian]
format: %(asctime)s (%(process)d) %(message)s
datefmt: %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y
propagate: no
level: debug
path: mailman.log

Yet, mailman.log does not seem to show debug level information.

mailman.log is only a log file for the Core. Since you are having issues with Django, the requests aren't even touch Mailman Core.

Depending on how you are deploying, you should look at mailman-web.log or whatever the name of the log file is. You can find it in the Django settings.

I don't see anything special in mailman-web.log. When getting the Django login page with HTTP2:

[pid: 811818|app: 0|req: 6/6] &lt;mysite_ip_address> () {50 vars in 941 bytes} [Sat Dec 14 12:25:33 2019] GET /admin/login/ => generated 1806 bytes in 15 msecs (HTTP/2.0 200) 8 headers in 434 bytes (1 switches on core 1)

When getting the Django login page without HTTP2:

[pid: 811818|app: 0|req: 7/7] &lt;mysite_ip_address> () {54 vars in 1001 bytes} [Sat Dec 14 12:31:40 2019] GET /admin/login/ => generated 1806 bytes in 16 msecs (HTTP/1.1 200) 8 headers in 434 bytes (1 switches on core 0)

Nothing is logged with/without HTTP2 when I try to enter the admin account credentials and hit "Log in", which is coherent with my previous post about tcpdump. As if nginx did not send the credentials to uwsgi. This makes no sense.

The following is the contents of /etc/nginx/uwsgi_params which is included in the server block;

uwsgi_param  QUERY_STRING       $query_string;
uwsgi_param  REQUEST_METHOD     $request_method;
uwsgi_param  CONTENT_TYPE       $content_type;
uwsgi_param  CONTENT_LENGTH     $content_length;

uwsgi_param  REQUEST_URI        $request_uri;
uwsgi_param  PATH_INFO          $document_uri;
uwsgi_param  DOCUMENT_ROOT      $document_root;
uwsgi_param  SERVER_PROTOCOL    $server_protocol;
uwsgi_param  REQUEST_SCHEME     $scheme;
uwsgi_param  HTTPS              $https if_not_empty;

uwsgi_param  REMOTE_ADDR        $remote_addr;
uwsgi_param  REMOTE_PORT        $remote_port;
uwsgi_param  SERVER_PORT        $server_port;
uwsgi_param  SERVER_NAME        $server_name;

Is there something incompatible here?

My bad. Enabling debug mode in nginx revealed the root cause: I had a filter in place preventing any POST from getting through, which is obviously needed here. I can even make it work with HTTP2, at least as far as the Django administration is concerned. Also, the layout is perfect now.

Removing http2 from all server blocks which share the same IP address and listening on uwsgi-socket with tcpdump:

# tcpdump -i lo --direction=inout 'tcp port &lt;uwsgi_server_port>'
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on lo, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 262144 bytes

When launching https://mysite/admin/login to get the login screen, the conversation appears with 127.0.0.1:<uwsgi_server_port>:

11:45:31.322143 IP localhost.46912 > localhost.&lt;uwsgi_server_port>: Flags [S], seq 138343284, win 43690, options [mss 65495,sackOK,TS val 2322576143 ecr 0,nop,wscale 7], length 0
11:45:31.322241 IP localhost.&lt;uwsgi_server_port> > localhost.46912: Flags [S.], seq 204629092, ack 138343285, win 43690, options [mss 65495,sackOK,TS val 2322576143 ecr 2322576143,nop,wscale 7], length 0
...

When I enter the admin account credentials and hit login, no communication is detected by tcpdump: how can this be possible?
