gunicorn.errors.HaltServer: <HaltServer 'Worker failed to boot.' 3>

I've installed gunicorn inside my virtualenv.

From this directory:

manage.py
/onbytes/wsgi.py

I run the following:

gunicorn onbytes.wsgi:application

And I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/ymorin007/.virtualenvs/onbytes.com/bin/gunicorn", line 9, in <module>
    load_entry_point('gunicorn==19.0.0', 'console_scripts', 'gunicorn')()

gunicorn.errors.HaltServer: <HaltServer 'Worker failed to boot.' 3>

running gunicorn onbytes.wsgi:application --preload will get me this error:

My case I was running a docker file that wasn't updated with all the necessary requirements.txt dependencies, so when booting the containers it failed "ModuleNotFound" and eventually threw the "worker failed to boot" error as well.

Adding the Module that was not found to the requirements.txt file and rebuilding the docker containers solved this error for me.

in my case after adding --preload to Procfile, I understand that I should install psycopg2-binary with pip:

pip install psycopg2-binary

Adding --preload the gunincorn command showed me that I had to do :

pip install ordereddict

That package was missing.

Probably there is an issue in your application, not in gunicorn.

Try: 

gunicorn --log-file=- onbytes.wsgi:application

Since the version R19, Gunicorn doesn’t log by default in the console and the --debug option was deprecated.

I had a similar problem and it was because i was running the command in the wrong directory. In a standard django installation, try running gunicorn in the same directory that 'manage.py'
