I am trying to upload my django project to digitalocean droplet. Followed this article https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-django-with-postgres-nginx-and-gunicorn-on-ubuntu-20-04 to upload it.
After completing all the steps I am getting 502 bad gateway. Also the server is not running on SSL rather it is running on http//.
I followed every steps the article provided. Somehow there is an error called “connect() to unix:/run/gunicorn.sock failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream”

}
location / {

proxy_pass http://unix:/run/gunicorn.sock;
}
}
I ran this commands but getting no error
sudo nginx -t && sudo systemctl restart nginx
So I need help on this.

Hi @irfan015
If you haven’t done so already. Restart both the gunicorn service and the nginx service.
Hi @irfan015 did you find a solution to your issue? I’m having the same problem
Hi @irfan015,
Make sure to allow Access to port 80, it’s possible your firewall is in the way!
Additionally, usually, such errors that you receive :
502 bad gateway connect() to unix:/run/gunicorn.sock failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream
This means that there is something wrong with either the configuration for your Nginx Proxy or your Gunicorn app. The one I would bet would be the Gunicorn App. It’s possible somewhere something has not been configured properly. I would suggest seeing if you have configured Gunicorn properly, see if it’s actually listening on any port or if it is at all running.
Check the path to your venv in gunicorn service, plus permissions
