Hello fellow humans.
I finally deployed my app after following the tutorial how-to-set-up-django-with-postgres-nginx-and-gunicorn-on-ubuntu-16-04 but when i try to upload a file on the site as a user, i get
server error (500). Wht do I have to do to remedy the problem as soon as possible??
will appreciate your assistance
Hi @iknwosu3
Can you show the log both Gunicorn and Nginx?
tail -20 /var/log/nginx/error.log
tail -20 /path/to/gunicorn.log
hey hansen
Just checked the nginx log and it says
(env) kingiyk@stylplus:~/stylplus$ sudo tail -20 /var/log/nginx/error.log
[sudo] password for kingiyk:

67.207.87.22/images/create is the url to uplod so i am guessing it encountered an issue.
But that's just a missing CSS file - it shouldn't create the 500 failure.
You need to activate error logging in Gunicorn, so we can see what's going on:
http://docs.gunicorn.org/en/stable/settings.html#errorlog
I am totally knew to this concepts so pls bear with me.
(env) kingiykC@stylplus:~/stylplus$ sudo --error-logfile FILE, --log-file FILE
sudo: unrecognized option '--error-logfile'
usage: sudo -h | -K | -k | -V
usage: sudo -v [-AknS] [-g group] [-h host] [-p prompt] [-u user]
usage: sudo -l [-AknS] [-g group] [-h host] [-p prompt] [-U user] [-u user]

prompt] [-u user] file ...
(env) kingiyk@stylplus:~/stylplus$
It's not a command, it's a configuration parameter you need to set in your SystemD script that executes Gunicorn.
You would add it to the ExecStart of the file /etc/systemd/system/gunicorn.service and the FILE should be an actual path like /var/log/gunicorn.log
Whats up hensen
This is what i did to the execstart: How do i check the error log after this?
ExecStart=/home/kingiyk/stylplus/env/bin/gunicorn --error-logfile - --access-logfile - --workers 3 --bind unix:/home/kingiyk/stylplus/stylplus.sock stylplus.wsgi:application
Or maybe there is an alternative way to check the gunicorn log because I still get server error (500) during upload.
hey hansen. I finally activated error logging for gunicorn and this is what it says after i got the server error 500 error. Not much but here it is
[2017-07-25 08:57:54 +0000] [30293] [INFO] Starting gunicorn 19.7.1

[2017-07-25 08:57:54 +0000] [30301] [INFO] Booting worker with pid: 30301
..And nginx log says
2017/07/24 22:29:59 [crit] 18930#18930: *8 connect() to unix:/home/kingiyk/stylplus/stylplus.sock failed (2: No such file or directory) while connecting to upstream, client: 197.211.63.139, server: 67.207.87.22, request: "GET /images/create/ HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://unix:/home/kingiyk/stylplus/stylplus.sock:/images/create/", host: "www.styllplus.com"

this gives more info to the issue i think. because the upload url is stated there and it says stylplus.sock failed.
uploading is the only issue i have got as every other thing works just fine
Change it do this:
ExecStart=/home/kingiyk/stylplus/env/bin/gunicorn --error-logfile /var/log/gunicorn.log --access-logfile - --workers 3 --bind unix:/home/kingiyk/stylplus/stylplus.sock stylplus.wsgi:application
Restart Gunicorn sudo service gunicorn restart
Try to upload, so you get the error and then check /var/log/gunicorn.log
do I create a file gunicorn.log in the /var/log/ directory or it will create it self??
I get a 502 bad gateway when i use
ExecStart=/home/kingiyk/stylplus/env/bin/gunicorn --error-logfile /var/log/gunicorn.log --access-logfile - --workers 3 --bind unix:/home/kingiyk/stylplus/stylplus.sock stylplus.wsgi:application
But works fine when i use
ExecStart=/home/kingiyk/stylplus/env/bin/gunicorn --error-logfile - --access-logfile - --workers 3 --bind unix:/home/kingiyk/stylplus/stylplus.sock stylplus.wsgi:application
Your patience is highly appreciated hansen.
Okay, then first stop Gunicorn
service gunicorn stop
And then run it manually:
/home/kingiyk/stylplus/env/bin/gunicorn --error-logfile - --access-logfile - --workers 3 --bind unix:/home/kingiyk/stylplus/stylplus.sock stylplus.wsgi:application
Then visit your website and upload a file. It should print errors directly in the console. Use CTRL+C to exit manual Gunicorn when done.
If this doesn't work, then ask in StackOverflow, since there's a lot more people there using Gunicorn and programming in Django:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/gunicorn
Okay, change current log level to debug, by adding this parameter:
--log-level debug
http://docs.gunicorn.org/en/stable/settings.html#loglevel
There's something wrong with your upload-code or maybe you try save the uploaded file to a place where there's no permissions, which somehow is crashing Gunicorn.
Hey hansen
I finally figured out what the problem was. you where right. It had to do with my upload code in settings file. I was using the development server to server the files
MEDIAURL = '/media/'
MEDIAROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media/')
then in my projects urls.py i had
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIAURL,
documentroot=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
which resulted to the server error (500).
The thrill of fixing a bug is secong to none.
But i got one more bug.
Now my files upload but do not show
In my settings file i have this
STATICROOT = '/home/kingiyk/stylplus/static'
STATICURL = '/static/'
and in nginx i got this
location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location /static/ {
root /home/kingiyk/stylplus;
}
location /media/ {
alias /home/kingiyk/stylplus/media/;
}
location ~ /.well-known {
allow all;
}
location / {
include proxy_params;
proxy_pass http://unix:/home/kingiyk/stylplus/stylplus.sock;
I am guessing i got something screwed up.
@iknwosu3 Use the </> button the preserve formatting. If you select a word(s), it will show up like this, but if you leave the triple-back-ticks on their own line
it will show up as this
But I'm not sure if that's what you're asking about. Do you see the uploaded files somewhere on the server within /home/kingiyk/stylplus or it's sub-directories?
You need to make sure that Gunicorn and Nginx share the same user/group permissions. That will lead to 404-errors, but that's not quite the same as "do not show".
what i mean is, I dont see the uploaded file on the webpage but upload was successful
You need to make sure the rights are set correctly.
Run this command:
ls -l /home/kingiyk/stylplus/media/name-of-uploaded-file.ext
What's your User and Group in /etc/systemd/system/gunicorn.service?
And what's user in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf?
gunicorn.servive
User=kingiyk
Group=www-data
while nginx.conf is
user www-data;
worker_processes auto;
pid /run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 768;
# multi_accept on;
}

}
Do you get any errors? If yes, is it from Nginx or Gunicorn? Show the last lines from the log.
What's the output of this?
ls -l /home/kingiyk/stylplus/media/name-of-some-file-you-just-uploaded
ls: cannot access '/home/kingiyk/stylplus/media/and.jgp': No such file or directory
kingiyk@stylplus:~$
is what i keep on getting. plus i cant find the file on the server. /home/kingiyk/stylplus/media/
or
/home/kingiyk/stylplus
I don't know then. Either activate debug-logging to your entire project or even better would probably be to start over. It's not bad to start over, you will get much better at setting up the server.

hey hansen
Still on the matter but i think i got a lead but still dont know where to go.
would really appreciate it if you could point me to the right direction
so here is my image model(upload_to)
class Image(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL,
related_name='images_created')
title = models.CharField(max_length=2000)
slug = models.SlugField(max_length=200,
blank=True)
url = models.URLField()
image = models.ImageField(upload_to='images/%Y/%m/%d')
description = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)
created = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True,
db_index=True)
users_like = models.ManyToManyField(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL,
related_name='images_liked', blank=True)
and here is my nginx conf
server {
listen 80;
server_name 67.207.87.22;
location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location /static/ {
alias /home/kingiyk/stylplus/static/;
}
location /media/ {
alias /home/kingiyk/stylplus/media/;
}
location / {
include proxy_params;
proxy_pass http://unix:/home/kingiyk/stylplus/stylplus.sock;
}
}
When i upload an image, it gets saved to /home/kingiyk/stylplus/images/2017/07/26
I think the '2017/07/26' part is as a result of my upload_to being 'images/%Y/%m/%d (year/month/day).
i have no problem with my css and and javascrispt. Just images are not displaying
Now i am guessing there is a conflict between my nginx conf and the path to where the images are stored. please could you lend a helpling hand. cheers
Can you add this line just below server_name in your Nginx:
root /home/kingiyk/stylplus;
And then I think you can remove the two location-blocks which only contains an alias, but wait with that - only test one thing at the time.
Greetings,
After going back and forth several times, I still havent made my uploaded images to display. but i think its because my uploaded files arent being recognised as static files because when i enter the command python manage.py collectstatic to retrieve all static files and store them in /home/kingiyk/stylplus/static, css, js, and some unknown png files get collected but my images do not. any clue as to why that is??
cheers
I'm not sure, but it seems like you should modify your development platform, so it matches your production.
I would recommend that ask your question at StackOverflow, since there are some really good programmers, who might just spot the problem.
hi hansen,
i think I know what the problem is. I think its from the template.
i tried img src="{% static "rango.jpg" %}" alt="Picture of Rango"> and it displayed the rango.jpg image I think i need the {% static %} tag to accomplish this with image variable but still have not gotten it right.
```all images are saved in the static directory. My nginx conf is not the cause.
here is html code
{% thumbnail image.user.profile.photo "40" as in %}
<a href="{{ image.user.get_absolute_url }}">
<img src="{{ in.url }}" class="gametime"></a>
{% endthumbnail %}
<a href="{{ image.user.get_absolute_url }}"
class="time">{{image.user.username }}
<div id="details">
{% thumbnail image.image "551" as im %}
<a href="{{ image.image.url }}">
<img src="{{ im.url }}" alt="{{ image.title }}"class="image-detail">
</a>
{% endthumbnail %}
I am trying to figure out how to make it reference the specific file in the static directory. could you lend a hand?..
thanks
