Copy content from file below ;)

any fix about this error?

Thanks for sharing. Guys, the third step is says to download file, but path is missing. Either use full path:
wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/mozillazg/6cbdcccbf46fe96a4edd/raw/2f5c6f5e88fc43e27b974f8a4c19088fc22b1bd5/supervisord.service -O /usr/lib/systemd/system/supervisord.service
or create the file with above content in folder: /usr/lib/systemd/system/supervisord.service

Thanks a lot! Works fine!

Thanks. One thing -> You may need to run systemctl daemon-reload before running systemctl start supervisord

Thanks, this post is VERY helpful.

I had to change ;[include] to [include] for this to work.

@michielgerritsen I had to change ;[include] to [include] for this to work.

fix mine
thank you

Ty, very useful. Saved me from a headache.

nice, thank you!

It's helpful. Thank you!

BTW, let me sum it up, If you failed with the message:

Job for supervisord.service failed because the control process exited with error code.

You can try these steps:

1. change ;[include] to [include] in supervisord.service
2. change /bin/supervisord and /bin/supervisorctl to your own location in supervisord.service, if your supervisor is not installed in this location. You can use which supervisord and which supervisorctl to check your own location.
3. systemctl daemon-reload
4. systemctl start supervisord

command: echo_supervisord_conf > /etc/supervisord/supervisord.conf should be
echo_supervisord_conf > /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf.
/etc/supervisord is not in the lookup dir list.

sometime supervisor on my server not working. I checking file /usr/lib/systemd/system/supervisord.service show is empty file. Can someone help me?

I am facing this issue right now, but I am wondering, do you mean to "change ;[include] to [include] in supervisord.service" or in supervisord.conf ??

Thanks, it's really helpful.

Who is still struggling to make this work?

Please check your folder name is it "supervisor" or "supervisord", notice "d" at last.

You need to check the folder name for all the steps under configure section of usage.md and line no. 8 under supervisord.service file

Line no 8: ExecStart=/bin/supervisord -c /etc/supervisord/supervisord.conf

Hope this helps!
