netbox: ERROR (spawn error)

[Neiko]

HI Guys,

Im having a hard time installing netbox on Ubuntu 12.  Apache and Gunicorn are running ok, but netbox wont start.  See errors below:

ubuntu:~$ sudo supervisorctl start netbox

netbox: ERROR (spawn error

ubuntu:~$ service supervisor status

Can someone point me in the right direction as to what im going wrong?

Thanks

I know this doesn't answer your question, but ubuntu 12.04 has passed its end-of-life date.  It's not supported by Canonical unless you're paying for Ubuntu Advantage and have extended security maintenance.

This means that the vast majority of people in the free/open-source community are no longer using ubuntu 12.04, so you're unlikely to find anyone to help you with a problem in a public forum such as this one.

If you are making a fresh installation of Netbox, then I would suggest using Ubuntu 16.04 as the base.

Having said all that: your problem seems to be that supervisord is unable to start gunicorn.  Check what you've put in /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf, and try starting gunicorn manually using the same commands.  You may find a more helpful error message.  Also check in gunicorn logs.

Good luck,

Brian.

Hi Brian, sorry mate it was late when I posted this and I was installing Parallels.. 12.. But Ubuntu 16..

Im going to try again on a fresh install.  I tried Centos 7 at first, but had more issues with that.. of course haha

Thanks mate

I'll check my supervisord.conf and gunicorn first though.  Thanks Brian

Hey Neiko

had this problem as well. But in the update I forgot one command:

cp netbox-X.Y.Z/gunicorn_config.py netbox/gunicorn_config.py

After that, the restart was OK.
