Supervisor no such file socket.py
You should run sudo service supervisor start
when you are in the supervisor dir.
Worked for me.
In Ubuntu 18.04 with distribution's package
You probably did the same mistake as me an created the config file /etc/supervisord.conf
while my service manager (systemd) was using the config file /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf
Solutions
Remove the config file created
sudo rm /etc/supervisord.conf
Move it to the correct location
sudo mv /etc/supervisord.conf /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf
Now you can run sudo supervisorctl
Why?
when you run supervisorctl
it first searches for the config file located at /etc/supervisord.conf
, if it's not present, it will search for the package's default file /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf
this is the one systemd actually runs.
Systemd always use the file /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf
regardless of the other file's existence.
You can check which file is using systemd by running sudo systemctl status supervisor
You can see in the last line the command where the config file is hardcoded
2020 UPDATE
Try running
sudo service supervisor start
in your terminal before using the below solution. I found out that the issue sometimes occurs whensupervisor
is not running, nothing complicated.
I am using Ubuntu 18.04
. I had the same problem and re-installing supervisor did not solve my problem.
I ended up completely removing the conf.d directory and recreating it with new configs. Make sure you back up your configurations before trying this:
sudo rm -rf /etc/supervisor/conf.d/
sudo mkdir /etc/supervisor/conf.d
sudo nano /etc/supervisor/conf.d/my-file.conf
- Copy+Paste your configuration into your new file.
sudo supervisorctl reread
started working again.
