I am working through this tutorial (and those linked from it) https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-django-with-postgres-nginx-and-gunicorn
I have my own ‘hello world’ django project that I’ve pulled onto the droplet using git. I went to configure gunicorn/nginx as per the tutorial, but I realised these are already running, serving up the django_project default that comes with the pre-configured django droplet. I did a pkill gunicorn, but it starts back up again as soon as I kill the processes. Is supervisord (or similiar) already running?
How do I remove all trace of the django_project from the droplet to allow me to get my own project running?

On the Django one-click install image, the gunicorn process is being run via Upstart which will restart it if it’s killed. So you need to run: <pre> service gunicorn stop </pre> in order to stop it completely.
To serve your own Django project, there are two key files that you need to change to remove references to <code>django_project</code>. In <code>/etc/init/gunicorn.conf</code> you need to change the name and the pythonpath to match your new project. In <code>/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/django</code>, you need to change the paths to both your media and static files to match your new location.
See this article for more details on the configuration files: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-the-django-one-click-install-image
