Hi,
I followed this document and I’m hitting this error. Could you let me know what I’m missing? I tried several things the whole day and nothing has worked? I’m wondering whether these documented steps are tested well!?

Hello,
It looks like that the Gunicorn socket is missing, I would recommend following these steps here on how to create the socket and the service files:

Hello DO, please let me know if you have any solution on this? I’m completely blocked without deploying my app on this server. I appreciate if DO can provide resolution asap!
