Unable to start service with nohup due to 'INFO spawnerr: unknown error making dispatchers for 'app_name': EACCES'

Question

I\'m trying to start a service with supervisor, but I get an error saying

INFO spawnerr: unknown error making dispatchers for \'app_name\': EACCES

Answer 1

I had the same issue, I recommend doing the following

1. Add user who runs the service. user=youruser

2. moving your log to a supervisor dir

from:

logfile=/tmp/supervisord.log

to:

logfile=/var/log/supervisor/supervisord.log

The same goes to you pid file

pidfile=/tmp/supervisord.pid >> pidfile=/var/run/supervisor/supervisord.pid 

Make both dirs

mkdir /var/run/supervisor/

mkdir /var/log/supervisor/

then change the of the dir with

chown youuser:youuser -R /var/log/supervisor/

If this dosen't work double check who can write on you log files and pid files.

ls -l /var/log/supervisor/supervisord.log

If it still dosen't work try updating you supervisor
