Why doesn't sustemd start the service for gunicorn?

Question

Django

Create gunicorn.service [
Unit]
Description=gunicorn daemon
After=network.target
[Service]
User=root
Group=root
WorkingDirectory=/root/myproject
ExecStart=/root/myproject/venv/bin/gunicorn --workers 3 --bind unix:/root/myproject/myproject.sock
myproject.wsgi:application
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
I try to start, I execute the command:
sudo systemctl start gunicorn
terminal says:
Failed to start gunicorn.service: Unit gunicorn.service failed to load: Bad message. See system logs and 'systemctl status gunicorn.service' for details.
command: sustemctl status gunicorn gives :
gunicorn.service - gunicorn daemon

Answer 1

Well, judging by the logs, you need to check that /root/myproject/venv/bin/gunicorn exists. You abbreviated the most important line, but judging by the ending, it says "No such file or directory". I'd check.. Maybe venv is the culprit (just a guess), try without it.

Answer 2

In the log, in black and white, there is no '=' on line 9
