Django Deployment - Unable to access django app using my ip ?

@hansen @jtittle Thanks for clarifying the issue.

Yes gunicorn is running.

(myenv) root@ubuntu-512mb-nyc3-01:/opt# sudo ps wwaux | grep -i unicorn
root     27360  0.1  4.5  61988 22848 pts/2    S+   08:03   0:00 /opt/myenv/bin/python3 /opt/myenv/bin/gunicorn --bind 174.138.68.184:8001 django_project.wsgi

(myenv) root@ubuntu-512mb-nyc3-01:/opt#

Infact i can access django app at http://174.138.68.184:8001/ even when i turn off nginx. That means i guess gunicorn is working as expected.

I also tried to view error logs of gunicorn by specifying --log-file as below:

gunicorn --bind 174.138.68.184:8001 --log-file g.log django_project.wsgi

Here is the content of the log file.

(myenv) root@ubuntu-512mb-nyc3-01:/opt/django_project# cat g.log
[2017-03-01 08:14:33 +0000] [27546] [INFO] Starting gunicorn 19.6.0

It’s because Gunicorn is not running, so when Nginx cannot connect to the upstream server it gives the error 502. Did you remember to start Gunicorn? It’s in the lower half of step 9.
