Gunicorn: Failed At step EXEC spawning No such file or directory

Question

I am trying to get my gunicorn setup. Following is my config file for the systemmd config file:

# Unit section is used to specify metadata and dependencies
[Unit]
Description=DEMO

# only start once the network target has been reached
After=network.target



# Service section specify the user and group that we want the process to run under
[Service]
# www-data group assigned to facilitate easy communication with nginx
Group=www-data

# path to working directory
WorkingDirectory=/srv/demo/git

# path to virtual environment
Environment="PATH=/srv/demo/git/venv/bin"

ExecStart=/srv/demo/git/venv/bin/gunicorn --workers=5 --bind unix:git.sock --log-level=debug wsgi:app --timeout 3600
#--workers=5 --threads=2 --worker-class=gthread 



[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
~                                                                                                       
~                                                                                                       
~    

                                                                                               

And my virtual environment folder does contain gunicorn:

But I am still unable to run this, the systemmd file says that it was unable to find gunicorn. No such file or directory:

i have uninstall gunicorn from outside my virtual env. But when i do a which gunicorn it shows me the path to be /usr/bin/gunicorn. When i put this path, it dosnt throw the same error but simply says that the apt_pkg and gunicorn module wasnt found but not a directory error. Is this a path issue? If so how can i fix it?

I hope following steps will be helpful to solve this problem....

Step 1: cd ~/myprojectdir

Step 2: source myprojectenv/bin/activate

Step 3: which gunicorn

Step 4: Paste that into the path section of the ‘ExecStart’ value exchange ‘/etc/systemd/system/gunicorn.service’ by which guicorn '..../path"

Step 5: sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Step 6: sudo systemctl restart gunicorn

Step 7: sudo systemctl status gunicorn

I had a similar problem when I typed which gunicorn. It didn't show anything. Ended up removing the whole venv and reinstalled it plus the whole requirements.txt. That fixed the problem. – Larva

Answer 2

There are several issues that could raise this but if you have settled everything perfectly then you can try these quick fixes,

• Make sure gunicorn is installed (pip install gunicorn)
• confirm that your applications is listening on gunicorn -w 4 -b 0.0.0.0:8000 your_project_name.wsgi:application
• restart the service and socket again

(sudo systemctl daemon-reload

sudo systemctl restart gunicorn)

Answer 3

I moved env folder from another path and I got the error. This worked for me:

1. Delete env folder.
2. Make a new virtual environment.
3. Activate virtual environment.
4. Install requirements.txt packages.
