Hi Everyone, I currently have 2 servers A and B, both running on Debian. Server A was setup 1 month ago with Gunicorn 1.4.3. I created a new linux user called 'web', with shell access and a home directory. The virutalenv is managed by virtualenvwrapper in the home directory. So what I would do to start my pyramid application would be to login as root and switch to the 'web' user (su - web) and run gunicorn like so:
gunicorn_paster -w 5 -t 80 --log-file=/somewhere/with/logs -D production.ini This works! Server B was setup yesterday. It is using Gunicorn 1.4.5. My boss wants me to use the default www-data user and group instead of creating a separate user and group. So I created my virtualenv to run my pyramid application as the 'root' user. All of my code and logs live in the /srv directory and sub-directories. I gave chown-ed the srv directory with www-data:www-data. Now....when I run gunicorn paster, I had to specify a user and group to run as using the '-u' and '-g' flag as stated in their documentation <http://gunicorn.org/configure.html#user>: gunicorn_paster -w 5 -t 80 --log-file=/somewhere/with/logs -u www-data -g www-data -D production.ini However, this gave an error. I added the --log-level=debug into it and the error says: 2012-07-05 11:13:35 [29578] [INFO] Worker exiting (pid: 29578) /paste/deploy/loadwsgi.py", line 296, in loadcontext File "/root/.virtualenvs/rhino_env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PasteDeploy-1.5.0-py2.7.egg/paste/deploy/loadwsgi.py", line 320, in _loadconfig File "/root/.virtualenvs/rhino_env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PasteDeploy-1.5.0-py2.7.egg/paste/deploy/loadwsgi.py", line 454, in get_context File "/root/.virtualenvs/rhino_env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PasteDeploy-1.5.0-py2.7.egg/paste/deploy/loadwsgi.py", line 476, in _context_from_use File "/root/.virtualenvs/rhino_env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PasteDeploy-1.5.0-py2.7.egg/paste/deploy/loadwsgi.py", line 406, in get_context File "/root/.virtualenvs/rhino_env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PasteDeploy-1.5.0-py2.7.egg/paste/deploy/loadwsgi.py", line 296, in loadcontext File "/root/.virtualenvs/rhino_env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PasteDeploy-1.5.0-py2.7.egg/paste/deploy/loadwsgi.py", line 328, in _loadegg File "/root/.virtualenvs/rhino_env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PasteDeploy-1.5.0-py2.7.egg/paste/deploy/loadwsgi.py", line 620, in get_context File "/root/.virtualenvs/rhino_env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PasteDeploy-1.5.0-py2.7.egg/paste/deploy/loadwsgi.py", line 646, in find_egg_entry_point File "/root/.virtualenvs/rhino_env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg/pkg_resources.py", line 1954, in load File "/srv/web/prod/rhino/rhino/__init__.py", line 2, in <module> from pyramid.config import Configurator ImportError: No module named pyramid.config The really weird thing is that, if I open up a python console within my virtualenv, I am able to import that module!! What's going on? I suspect it is permissions related or something and that I am unable to run Gunicorn as a non root user (without shell access).
