I’m on Ubuntu 19.04 - is this the problem?
I’ve followed this tutorial:
And once I get to the part about starting Gunicorn, I’ve added the commands to gunicorn.socket and gunicorn.service, but following the ‘sudo systemctl start gunicorn.socket’ command, I get an error - 'Job for gunicorn.socket failed.
It asks me to check the status of the socket for details:
gunicorn.socket - gunicorn socket
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/gunicorn.socket; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
Listen: /run/gunicorn.sock (Stream)

Hey I think I have fixed this.
So the problem was path related. I added one additional folder to working directory of gunicorn.service so it could find my module wsgi.

I had the same issue with the 18.04 instructions. Try using the Systemd instructions on this page instead: https://docs.gunicorn.org/en/20.0.4/deploy.html
