[Django]-Django gunicorn sock file not created by wsgi

While the accepted answer works, there is one (imo major) issue with it, which is that the gunicorn web server is (probably) running as root, which is not recommended. The reason you end up needing to chown the socket is because it is owned by root:root, because that is the user/group your init job assumes by default. There are multiple ways to get your job to assume another role. As of this time (with gunicorn 19.9.0), in my opinion, the simplest solution to this is to use the --user and --group flags provided as part of the gunicorn command. This means your server can start with the user/group you specify. In your case:

exec gunicorn --user ben --group www-data --bind unix:/home/ben/myproject/myproject.sock -m 007 wsgi

will start gunicorn under ben:www-data user and create a socket owned by ben:www-data with the permissions 770, or read/write/execute privilege for the user ben and group www-data on the socket, which is exactly what you ned in this case.

I have given path to the sock file outside my project. I needed to just create the directory so that the gunicorn can create the file inside that directory as I had had mentioned that path in the .services file. Basically, I made sure that I had all directories existing according to the path in the .services file. No need to change permissions or ownership

Try run

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start gunicorn
sudo systemctl status gunicorn.service

The last line helped me to re-create .scok file
