Hello Everybody

Hello Everyone,

I am experiencing a 502 Gateway Error with my Django and Nginx setup. I have searched all over the internet and tried every possible solution, but I still cannot resolve the issue.

```
Gunicorn is definitely running.
The Gunicorn.socket is active.
The Gunicorn.service is active with no issues.

```

Below are all the details I’m sharing regarding the problem.

What are the current permissions on `/run/gunicorn.sock`?

Also, you **really** don’t want your Django project to reside within your nginx-accessible directory structure. Your code should reside somewhere else.

</div>

How can I see current permissions?

This is just a test, not the main project. I couldn’t run the server. The main project will be uploaded at a different time. If I manage to get this to work.

Then your gunicorn.socket service isn’t running, or has thrown an error.

I’m not asking about your gunicorn.service, I’m asking about your gunicorn.socket.
