Question
failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream
I am getting failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream error in my nginx error log file while trying to access the Django app on my droplet. I understand that the issue my be that nginx is not finding gunicorn. I tried to start gunicorn but getting “start: Unknown job: gunicorn” error, I even tried restarting the droplet but still getting the gunicorn “unknown gunicorn”.
There is also nothing getting printed in my gunicon.log file. I also tried the solutions on similar posts on DO but nothing works
Any help will be highly appreciated, been having this issue for two days with no clue

I am suspecting that gunicorn is not started, not sure what to do, I even restarted the droplet but still getting the same error. Sorry again for all these questions it is my first time deploying a Django app.
When launching Gunicorn, try adding the parameter
--log-level debugwhich should add debug to log. Make sure you haven’t change the path to the log file to somewhere else ingunicorn.conf
