Gunicorn-Django: django project not found
it look to me that the project is not in the path of gunicorn.
personally, I use manage.py run_gunicorn and i pass all the config args by command lineand For the Path, I use virtualenv and I source the bin/activate in my shell scrpt
this is my bash script :
#!/bin/sh### BEGIN INIT INFO# Provides: myProject.exemple.com# Required-Start: $syslog $nginx# Required-Stop: $syslog $nginx# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5# Default-Stop: 0 1 6# Short-Description: the django fast_cgi portal for myProject.exemple.com### END INIT INFO# with this config :# the project is in /home/web/prod/myProject.exemple.com/src/myProject/# the socket is in /var/run/django/myProject.sock # the log files is /val/log/nginx/myProject.exemple.com/gunicorn.log# the pid file is /var/run/django/myProject.pid # note, for debuging purpose, you can set a DEBUG env variable to prevent gunicorn to fork and to see all the output.# ie : sudo DEBUG=True /etc/init.d/django_myProject start if [ -f "/lib/lsb/init-functions-color"] ;then . /lib/lsb/init-functions-colorelse . /lib/lsb/init-functionsfi# not exactly used by workon, but used to source the activateWORKON_HOME=/home/web/prod/Envs # change on eveny new project PROJECT_NAME=myProject DOMAINE=$PROJECT_NAME.exemple.com # fixed PIDFILE=/var/run/django/$PROJECT_NAME.pid LOGFILE=/var/log/nginx/$DOMAINE/gunicorn.log SOCKFILE=/var/run/django/$PROJECT_NAME.sock SOCKET=unix:$SOCKFILE #SOCKET=192.9.201.3:8050 #This is the command to be run, give the full pathname PROJECT_DIR=/home/web/prod/$DOMAINE/src/$PROJECT_NAME/ DAEMON="$PROJECT_DIR/manage.py run_gunicorn" USER=www-data GROUP=www-data WORKERS=2 # could be changed #DAEMON_OPTS="run_gunicorn --workers 1 \# --worker-connections 5 \# --daemon\# --user www-data\# --group www-data\# -t 30\# --bind unix:$SOCKET \# --pid $PIDFILE \# --error-logfile /var/log/nginx/$DOMAINE/gunicorn.log"# --daemon \DEBUG_ARGS=" --user=$USER \ --group=$GROUP \ --workers=$WORKERS \ --bind $SOCKET \ -t 90 \ --settings=$PROJECT_NAME.settings.prod \ --name=$DOMAINE"DAEMON_OPTS=" $DEBUG_ARGS \ --pid=$PIDFILE \ --daemon \ --log-file=$LOGFILE \ --log-level=info"start(){ cd "$PROJECT_DIR" log_begin_msg "starting django website" "$PROJECT_NAME" mkdir -p `dirname $SOCKFILE` chown www-data:www-data `dirname $SOCKFILE`# echo "$SOCKET" | grep '^unix:' > /dev/null 2> /dev/null# if [ ! -e "$SOCKFILE" -a "$?" -eq "0" ] # then# log_warning_msg "creation du socket $SOCKFILE"# # mkfifo $SOCKFILE# # fi if [ -f "$PIDFILE" ] then ps faux | grep -v grep | grep "$DAEMON" | grep `cat $PIDFILE` > /dev/null if [ $? -eq 0 ] then log_failure_msg "fichier pid deja present avec un pid existant" log_end_msg 1 return 1 fi rm "$PIDFILE" log_warning_msg "pid file deja existant" fi if [ -f "$WORKON_HOME/$PROJECT_NAME/bin/activate" ]; then . $WORKON_HOME/$PROJECT_NAME/bin/activate else echo "impossible d'activer l'environement $WORKON_HOME/$PROJECT_NAME/bin/activate" exit 1 fi if [ ! -z "$DEBUG" ] ; then echo "sourcing $WORKON_HOME/$PROJECT_NAME/bin/activate" echo $DAEMON $DEBUG_ARGS $DAEMON $DEBUG_ARGS else $DAEMON $DAEMON_OPTS fi if [ $? -eq 0 ] then log_end_msg 0 else log_end_msg 1 fi}stop(){ log_begin_msg "stoping django website" "$PROJECT_NAME" if [ -f "$PIDFILE" ] then start-stop-daemon --oknodo --stop --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE 2> /dev/null rm "$PIDFILE" log_end_msg 0 else log_failure_msg "pid file absent for $PROJECT_NAME django website" #log_end_msg 1 fi}status(){ if [ -f "$PIDFILE" ] then # fichier pid existant ps faux | grep -v grep | grep $DAEMON | grep `cat $PIDFILE` > /dev/null if [ $? -eq 0 ] then echo "$PROJECT_NAME django website running" else echo "WARN !! pid file present but $PROJECT_NAME django website stopped" fi else ps faux | grep -v grep | grep $DAEMON > /dev/null if [ $? -eq 0 ] then echo "WARN !! $PROJECT_NAME django website apear to be running but don't have a PID FILE" else echo "$PROJECT_NAME django website stopped" fi fi}case "$1" in start) start ;; stop) stop ;; restart) stop sleep 2 start ;; status) status ;; *) echo "Usage: "$1" {start|stop|restart|status}" exit 1esacexit 0
