unix:///tmp/supervisor.sock no such file

Question

Using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS to deploy my python app. Configured everything and the app is running manually. I want to automate it with supervisor, I have installed supervisor and configured it. But if I run:

Supervisor config file:

; supervisor config file

[unix_http_server]
file=/var/run/supervisor.sock   ; (the path to the socket file)
chmod=0700                       ; sockef file mode (default 0700)

[supervisord]
logfile=/var/log/supervisor/supervisord.log ; (main log file;default $CWD/supervisord.log)
pidfile=/var/run/supervisord.pid ; (supervisord pidfile;default supervisord.pid)
childlogdir=/var/log/supervisor            ; ('AUTO' child log dir, default $TEMP)

; the below section must remain in the config file for RPC
; (supervisorctl/web interface) to work, additional interfaces may be
; added by defining them in separate rpcinterface: sections
[rpcinterface:supervisor]
supervisor.rpcinterface_factory = supervisor.rpcinterface:make_main_rpcinterface

[supervisorctl]
serverurl=unix:///var/run/supervisor.sock ; use a unix:// URL  for a unix socket

; The [include] section can just contain the "files" setting.  This
; setting can list multiple files (separated by whitespace or
; newlines).  It can also contain wildcards.  The filenames are
; interpreted as relative to this file.  Included files *cannot*
; include files themselves.

[include]
files = /etc/supervisor/conf.d/*.conf

supervisorctl reread I end up with unix:///tmp/supervisor.sock no such file

But supervisord status is running,

Anyone having an idea, please.

Try restarting the supervisord service. And also post output of `echo_supervisord_conf`. — Håken Lid, Aug 30 '17 at 09:58

Running this command sudo service supervisord restart solved my issue.

Some answers suggest re-installation, which is essentially doing this

i get "service not found" and removing the `d` brings no error, but it still doesn't work! – cregox Apr 29 '22 at 17:14

Finally solved it by reinstalling supervisor after deleting all configuration files in /etc/supervisor/conf.d/ this did the trick.

I followed this: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-manage-supervisor-on-ubuntu-and-debian-vps – Chetan Hireholi Jun 12 '20 at 04:52
config files surely can make those problems! – cregox Apr 29 '22 at 17:30

I had the same problem. After reading the man supervisorctl manual I realized the default file is /etc/supervisord.conf which in ubuntu is at /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf. I created a symlink using:

sudo ln -s  /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf /etc/supervisord.conf

This fixed my problem.

Guys, pay attention while copy-pasting. While I installed supervisor through pip on centos my supervisor config file is at /etc/supervisord/supervisord.conf – Ruberoid Sep 27 '19 at 13:42
On Fedora my conf file had to have `.ini` extension. E.g. `/etc/supervisord.d/*.ini` – Jon Hudson Jul 23 '21 at 13:06

Reason of getting this: There is multiple reasons, what I found is that my supervisor was got corrupted due to the server going down continuously by power tripping.

solution: Remove the supervisor first and then reinstall it.

Steps:

sudo apt-get remove supervisor

sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove supervisor

sudo apt-get purge supervisor

sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove supervisor

The Ubuntu supervisor package (3.3.1-1.1) has the configuration file in /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf.

For some reason (I don't know why) there appears to be another configuration file in /etc/supervisord.conf and supervisorctl prefers that file.

You can either define the configuration file location explicitly to supervisorctl:

sudo supervisorctl -c /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf reread

or just remove /etc/supervisord.conf.

this is exactly what I am looking for. Saves my life. – Fred Lai Oct 24 '18 at 02:23
After doing that it's better to execute Supervisord command to create a supervisor.sock – Ehsan Ahmadi Aug 05 '21 at 23:57

Probably one of the configuration files has syntax errors.

For instance, verify if [program] clause is missing

Remove each file on conf.d directory and restart supervisor to isolate the problematic file.

This is right solution if there are no set up issues. This mostly shown up `supervisorctl` have not even initialised, copied wrong syntax error file. You can check `syslog` for more details. – Vish Feb 22 '20 at 14:35
