Django 1-click install 502 bad gateway

Posted on January 11, 2017

I’ve just started with Django’s 1-click install running on Ubuntu 16.04. My IP address works, but the domain doesn’t. I only have IPV4 enabled. I have the correct A record enabled and the NS set up.

But when I access the domain I get 502 bad gateway error. I spun this droplet up last night, so the details should have propagated.

I am getting the following nginx errors in the logs:

2017/01/11 18:11:40 [error] 3002#3002: *1 upstream prematurely closed connection while reading response header from upstream, client: 142.177.130.233, server: _, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://unix:/home/django/gunicorn.socket:/", host: "my-website.co"
2017/01/11 18:11:41 [error] 3002#3002: *1 upstream prematurely closed connection while reading response header from upstream, client: 142.177.130.233, server: _, request: "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://unix:/home/django/gunicorn.socket:/favicon.ico", host: "my-website.co", referrer: "http://my-website.co/"

I don’t know but I’m assuming this is a Gunicorn issue (I’m new to Gunicorn so don’t know though), my nginx looks like this, I’ve commented things that i’ve added

The link https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-the-django-one-click-install-image doesn’t seem to have the correct paths for my 1-click, for example it references: /etc/init/gunicorn.conf. Which I don’t seem to have.

I just ran: sudo netstat -plunt | grep gunicorn

And nothing was returned. I assumed this should return something if it was running? I also ran: service gunicorn start and it started once I put my password in, but netstat returns nothing.?

I’m at a bit of a loss here, in where to go and what’s wrong. I kinda expected the one click to go a bit more smoothly. To my knowledge I haven’t done anything that would break it.

Thanks :)
