gunicorn not starting

Nginx

hello everyone.

not sure why but i get a 502 gateway nginx 1.10 error when i go to my ip. i just uploaded my files to home/django/django_project. i am guessing the problem is from gunicorn because nothing happens when i type the command service gunicorn restart via putty in the commandline

here is my nginx file

Hi @iknwosu3

Correct, the problem is somewhere in Gunicorn, so we’re not going to get much from Nginx.
Make sure you’ve activated error logging:
http://docs.gunicorn.org/en/stable/settings.html#errorlog
Depending on your installation, sometimes it’s already enabled and you’ll find the log somewhere in your app directory or /var/log/gunicorn.log

      @iknwosu3

      It’s not a command, it’s a parameter to add onto your Gunicorn command or you could define errorlog in your gunicorn.conf.py like this:

      errorlog = '/var/log/gunicorn-error.log'

        I appreciate your patience. I cant seem to find the gunicorn.conf.py file. i think my gunicorn configuration is not properly set up. please could you give me an outline on how to put it in order?? because i know running the command service gunicorn restart on putty is supposed to output
        gunicorn stop/waiting
        gunicorn start/running, process 1505
        but instead..nothing happens.

        thanks

          Try running this command and let’s see if it gives any hints:

          sudo journalctl -u gunicorn

          Otherwise I would redirect you to this tutorial:

@iknwosu3

What’s the value of ExecStart in /etc/systemd/system/gunicorn.service?

    it is

      @iknwosu3
      If you run this command, do you get any errors either in the console or in the error log file /home/django/error.log ?

      /usr/bin/gunicorn --name=django_project --pythonpath=/home/django/django_project --bind unix:/home/django/gunicorn.socket --config /etc/gunicorn.d/gunicorn.py --error-log /home/django/error.log django_project.wsgi:application
