Question
Setting up django on nginx, ran in error: "can't chdir to ..."
I was following this tutorial: https://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-django-on-centos-8/ on how to set up django on nginx with gunicorn but ran into the following error:
[user@centos-s-1vcpu-2gb-fra1-01 ~]$ systemctl status django
● django.service - django daemon
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/django.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

Sep 02 19:44:16 centos-s-1vcpu-2gb-fra1-01 systemd[1]: django.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Can someone help me out? I tried a lot of things and researched for a long time, but nothing helped.
Thats the service file:
[Unit]
Description=django daemon
After=network.target
[Service]
User=nginx
Group=nginx
WorkingDirectory=/home/user/djangoprojects/
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/gunicorn --workers 3 --bind unix:/home/user/djangoprojects/djangoproject.sock djangoproject.wsgi:application
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
