I'm having trouble setting up nginx with gunicorn and django for multiple websites

So I followed this tutorial because part two tells how to do it for multiple websites and domains (http://michal.karzynski.pl/blog/2013/06/09/django-nginx-gunicorn-virtualenv-supervisor/) and everything went smoothly till the end when I erase the default config for mine in sites-available and sites-enabled the restart nginx. When I navigate to my site I get a “site cant be reached” error. I created the link for new config to sites-enabled from sites-available. supervisorctl says its running my gunicorn start script when I check the status. What I notice though is that at no point is gunicorn.sock created in the run directory. Am I supposed to create that? I tried that but to no avail. Can someone help

Did you restart nginx after linking from sotes-available to sites-enabled? What’s the nginx status after restart?

  • sudo systemctl restart nginx

  • sudo systemctl status nginx

You should see a lot of informations but somewhere will be status.

You can verify your nginx configuration and see is everything okay:

  • sudo nginx -t

    I restarted nginx and nginx test returns that everything is ok. the status command returns this:

    nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
devin@app-station:/run$ sudo service nginx status
