Gunicorn - unhandled exception

[Rob Coote]

Hi,

First time installing NetBox, and running into a Bad Gateway error after following the instructions.  Trying to run the gunicorn path manually returns the following:

netbox@oeg-srv20:~$ gunicorn -c /opt/netbox/gunicorn_config.py netbox.wsgi

[2017-08-21 15:27:28 -0600] [18205] [INFO] Starting gunicorn 19.7.1

    os.chown(path, uid, gid)

PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/tmp/wgunicorn-u_z68whl'

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks!

I think this is happening because gunicorn wants to start processes as the www-data user (or whichever user you specified in the config), which requires root. Try running the command with sudo.

netbox@oeg-srv20:~$ sudo gunicorn -c /opt/netbox/gunicorn_config.py netbox.wsgi

[sudo] password for netbox:

sudo: gunicorn: command not found

So I went back and re-installed everything as root, and it's now working. Apparently under Ubuntu Server 16.04, using sudo for the installation doesn't work.
