Question

I need to run Django application using gunicorn.
I read documentation, and I think I set up everything like I should, but when I run

gunicorn --worker-class socketio.sgunicorn.GeventSocketIOWorker app.wsgi:application

I get following error message

2013-02-01 18:25:17 [25394] [INFO] Booting worker with pid: 25394
2013-02-01 18:25:18 [25394] [ERROR] Exception in worker process:

2013-02-01 18:25:18 [25394] [INFO] Worker exiting (pid: 25394)

If I run it with django_socketio, everything works fine, I must miss something really important.

Thank you for your help

Seems to be a problem with gunicorn>0.17, see issue #122.
For me it’s working with the version 0.16.1 of gunicorn.

pip install gunicorn==0.16.1
