Error using unicorn with sinatra application

Hey @asb,

At first thanks for the support.

Im running the Ruby on Rails One-Click app, as you said I tried to change the DAEMON line on the file /etc/default/unicorn to use the bundle exec option.

Now whenever I restart/stop/start my unicorn service I got the following message:

Could not locate Gemfile

I also tried to indicate where the Gemfile location is but not succefull from now…

Do you have any other thoughts in mind?

Thank you!

I solved that issue by changing and adding the ruby version that I was using (2.2.0) into the /etc/defaul/unicorn

# Change parameters below to appropriate values and set CONFIGURED to yes.
CONFIGURED=yes

# Default timeout until child process is killed during server upgrade,
# it has *no* relation to option "timeout" in server's config.rb.
TIMEOUT=60

# Path to your web application, sh'ld be also set in server's config.rb,
# option "working_directory". Rack's config.ru is located here.
APP_ROOT=/home/rails

# Server's config.rb, it's not a rack's config.ru
CONFIG_RB=/home/unicorn/unicorn.conf

# Where to store PID, sh'ld be also set in server's config.rb, option "pid".
PID=/home/unicorn/pids/unicorn.pid
UNICORN_OPTS="-D -c $CONFIG_RB -E production"

PATH=/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-2.1.3/bin:/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p353/bin:/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p353/bin:/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.0/bin:/home/unicorn/.rvm/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/sbin:$

How did you install and configure unicorn? Are you using the Ruby on Rails One-Click application? If so, unicorn is started and stopped using an init script located in /etc/init.d/unicorn This can be configured in /etc/default/unicorn The default contents looks like:

# Change parameters below to appropriate values and set CONFIGURED to yes.
CONFIGURED=yes

# Default timeout until child process is killed during server upgrade,
# it has *no* relation to option "timeout" in server's config.rb.
TIMEOUT=60

# Path to your web application, sh'ld be also set in server's config.rb,
# option "working_directory". Rack's config.ru is located here.
APP_ROOT=/home/rails

# Server's config.rb, it's not a rack's config.ru
CONFIG_RB=/home/unicorn/unicorn.conf

# Where to store PID, sh'ld be also set in server's config.rb, option "pid".
PID=/home/unicorn/pids/unicorn.pid
UNICORN_OPTS="-D -c $CONFIG_RB -E production"

PATH=/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-2.1.3/bin:/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p353/bin:/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p353/bin:/home/unicorn/.rvm/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/sbin:$
export GEM_HOME=/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.3
export GEM_PATH=/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.3:/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.3
DAEMON=/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.3/bin/unicorn

To use bundler, you would need to update the DAEMON line. It defines the command that will be run. You’ll probably want something like:

DAEMON='/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.3/bin/bundle exec unicorn'

You can use the command which bundle to see the full path of the bundle binary.
