uWSGI has two parts:
  * Each app spawns and offers connections via a UNIX socket
  * A reverse proxy routes http(s) connections to those UNIX sockets

Your comment of "[no] error messages in the uwsgi logs" means the app 
part seemingly works fine.

The error served when browsing into the URL comes from the reverse proxy 
- the log files for that is the apache2 log.

Ahhh, I thinks I found the cause of the problem: You are missing a final 
slash in your URL: Try this instead: http://localhost/cider/

I use this in my vhost config - probably makes sense to add the same to 
the snippet shipped with the package:

  RedirectMatch permanent ^/cider$ /cider/
