In the nginx error log I see this

to unix:/tmp/unicorn.dropletname.sock failed (2: No such file or directory) while connecting to upstream, 

What should I do for this?

Try changing the configuration file and point it to a folder different from the /tmp folder for the socket.

Hope that this helps.
