由于导入模块错误，无法启动gunicorn.service

Question

I am trying to start Gunicorn from systemd service file, but I get import module error. How can I fix it?

My gunicorn service file:

[Unit]
Description=gunicorn daemon
After=network.target

[Service]
User=sammy
Group=www-data
WorkingDirectory=/home/sammy/myproject
ExecStart=/home/sammy/myproject/venv/bin/gunicorn --workers 3 --bind unix:/home/sammy/myproject/myproject.sock myproject.wsgi:application

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

When I execute gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:8000 myproject.wsgi:application , there is no error.

But when I use

sudo systemctl start gunicorn
sudo systemctl enable gunicorn

I get this error:

ImportError: No module named 'myproject'

What is wrong?

Answer 1

It is probably a directory permission problem. Make sure the user sammy is in the www-data group and set the home directory permissions with a chmod 710.
