Supervisor not working with Gunicorn + Flask
Solution 1
I don't see you setting the environment in your supervisor config file:
[program:gunicorn]
environment=PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/lib/project
command=/usr/local/bin/gunicorn my_app:app -c /path/to/.gu_setup
...
If that doesn't work, try starting gunicorn in debug mode:
command=/usr/local/bin/gunicorn --debug --log-level debug my_app:app -c /path/to/.gu_setup
Or pass the path directly to gunicorn:
command=/usr/local/bin/gunicorn --pythonpath /usr/local/bin,/usr/local/lib/project my_app:app -c /path/to/.gu_setup
EDIT: gunicorn's --pythonpath
is broken, you can only pass one directory:
command=/usr/local/bin/gunicorn --pythonpath /usr/local/lib/project my_app:app -c /path/to/.gu_setup
Solution 2
It's not necessary pass --pythonpath. If you work virtuanenv you put add where is gunicorn. Example:
command=/home/virtualenv/bin/gunicorn application:app -c /home/virtualenv/deploy/gunicorn.conf.py
And directory is when Flask code is, Example:
directory=/home/virtualenv/myapp
Remember user is root!
user=root

I am trying to run Gunicorn from Supervisor in an Ubuntu 12.04 system. Gunicorn runs a Flask app (simple REST web service tested with Flask's embedded server). I have installed Gunicorn by clonning GIT repo, trying to avoid 'apt-get install' because it runs Gunicorn server when installs it. I do not want it running, it will be run by Supervisor only.
So after install it, if I try:
cd /usr/local/bin gunicorn my_app:app -c /path/to/gu_config_file
Gunicorn works. Then I kill it. Note config file without extension, because with '.py' extension does not work for me. So I edit Supervisor's config file like:
[program:gunicorn] command=/usr/local/bin/gunicorn my_app:app -c /path/to/.gu_setup directory=/usr/local/bin/ autostart=true autorestart=true redirect_stderr=True
And update changes in Supervisor:
supervisorctl reread # gunicorn: changed supervisorctl update # gunicorn: stopped # gunicorn: updated process group
Detects changes in file and works for Gunicorn program. Ok, but then I try to start it:
supervisorctl start gunicorn
Getting an annoying:
gunicorn: ERROR (abnormal termination)
Checking supervisor's log:
2013-03-08 13:07:22,378 INFO spawned: 'gunicorn' with pid 3355 2013-03-08 13:07:22,916 INFO exited: gunicorn (exit status 3; not expected) 2013-03-08 13:07:23,918 INFO spawned: 'gunicorn' with pid 3361 2013-03-08 13:07:24,492 INFO exited: gunicorn (exit status 3; not expected) 2013-03-08 13:07:26,496 INFO spawned: 'gunicorn' with pid 3367 2013-03-08 13:07:27,078 INFO exited: gunicorn (exit status 3; not expected) 2013-03-08 13:07:30,085 INFO spawned: 'gunicorn' with pid 3373 2013-03-08 13:07:30,628 INFO exited: gunicorn (exit status 3; not expected) 2013-03-08 13:07:31,630 INFO gave up: gunicorn entered FATAL state, too many start retries too quickly
I do not know what to do right now... Can you help me? Thx a lot!
EDIT: sorry I forgot to say I have exported PYTHONPATH variable as:
export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/lib/project
'my_app' is in /usr/local/bin. The lib path is needed for other modules. I have edited also Supervisor config file to indicate environmental variable, like:
environment=PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/lib/project/
But did not work.
EDIT 2: as @robertklep suggest in his comment, this is log's output:

'const' module is in /usr/local/lib/project...

Alberto Megía about 11 yearsYes, I did that and were editing my question at the same time you response me... sorry! I am doing what you said, wait for it! :)
-
Alberto Megía about 11 yearsSo is telling me it cannot find 'const' module, but it is in /usr/local/lib/project, added to environment in Supervisor's config file...
-
Alberto Megía about 11 yearsThe same thing: no module named 'const'. But it is there, beeing also compiled by python! (pyc file appeared). I think it is a problem with Supervisor cd, because I can run it with Gunicorn only setting PYTHONPATH by myself...

Alberto Megía about 11 yearsReading Supervisor doc: "Subprocesses will inherit the environment of the shell used to start the supervisord program", "No shell is executed by supervisord when it runs a subprocess, so environment variables such as USER, PATH, HOME, SHELL, LOGNAME, etc. are not changed from their defaults or otherwise reassigned." and "If you need to set environment variables for a particular program that might otherwise be set by a shell invocation for a particular user, you must do it explicitly within the environment= program config option." (supervisord.org/subprocess.html#subprocess-environment)

robertklep about 11 yearsI'm just noticing that gunicorn's
--pythonpath
might actually be broken. Try setting just--pythonpath /usr/local/lib/project
. -
Alberto Megía about 11 yearsI think that worked, but I need to check it in a clean machine. I will tell it to you so you can edit your response and I will mark it! Thank you very much @robertklep

Greg Wang over 10 yearsSetting
--pythonpath /path/to/project
solved my problem. Thanks!
