Gunicorn not starting throwing gunicorn.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. error

Question

I\'m trying a deploy simple Django application on DigitalOcean by following this link I follow every work step by step and successfully run that project via Python manage.py

Answer 1

The latest version of gunicorn (20.0.3) can cause this problem.

Try installing an older version of gunicorn:

pip install gunicorn==20.0.2

Answer 2

It seems that you are trying to listen to unix:/run/gunicorn.sock in ExecStart, but the socket is at run/gunicorn.socket. Try changing this and run systemctl daemon-reload to see if it makes a difference.
