Any ideas why my gunicorn server won't start?

nginx listens to http://104.131.200.120/, and passes to gunicorn, which listens to 127.0.0.1. I'm on Ubuntu 14.
I've listed all processes to see if gunicorn was already running:

Here's the two gunicorn lines:
3231 ? 00:00:01 gunicorn
7014 ? 00:00:00 gunicorn
I've tried to kill those two processes, but when bringing them to the foreground with fg 3231, for example, it says "no such job".
Someone suggested I try netstat -aWn --programs | grep 80. Here is the result, which I don't understand
jeffy#originaldjangster:~$ sudo netstat -aWn --programs | grep 80
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:8001 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3231/python3.4
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 8911 800/acpid /var/run/acpid.socket
unix 2 [ ] DGRAM 8908 800/acpid
Any ideas what is causing this "connection in use" error? Thanks.
Turns out I just needed to sudo kill 3231 and sudo kill 7014. I incorrectly thought they first needed to brought to the foreground. The fact that the processes couldn't be seen until I used the capital A option (ps -A) mislead me, that they were somehow special.
The server was running (in the foreground) when I went to sleep before my wife. She turned off the computer before going to bed.
Ubuntu and gunicorn Newbie. Could you tell?
I have gotten used to run killall gunicorn before (re)starting Gunicorn in my local development environment.
For anyone who has nothing running on the port to kill, if app.run() is in the file gunicorn is running, then it will run twice on the port and keep attempting to retry the connection.
In my case, I was running $ gunicorn run:app where run.py had:
from app import app
app.run(debug=True)
in it. When I commented out the app.run, it worked.
I've found my solution here.
ps ax|grep gunicorn
>>> 932 pts/0 S 0:01 /home/someuser/flaskdir/.venv/bin/python3 /home/someuser/flaskdir/.venv/bin/gunicorn -w 3 flaskapp:app
kill -9 932
Restarting the computer helped for me
I did not have gunicorn in listing of ps -A so I did not know what to kill
I also did not get anything obvious from netstat -aWn --programs | grep 80
This worked for me:
sudo fuser -k 8000/tcp
I also came across same problem ...
Dont try to run gunicorn from su .
Just change user and try again

I'm writing a arbitrary JSON parser for golang, the project nearly finished. But I found a confusing problem about the performance:
I want to test the performance about parse a big(100Mb) JSON string, I use the test file itself to init the JSON struct in memory and write the marshaled JSON string to a file, and then read from it, if the file exists already, will not init it in memory, just read from file directly. The performance is totally different: cost about double time to parse when read from file directly. At the same time, I'm testing the performance about parse normal(1Kb) JSON string and deep(2Mb) JSON string, both of these are almost unaffected.
Why? is CPU cache? or GC? or any else?
The code at https://github.com/acrazing/cheapjson, and I opened a issue about this problem at https://github.com/acrazing/cheapjson/issues/1. You can get more detailed information about the benchmark from here.
I am unable to reproduce your issue: https://github.com/acrazing/cheapjson/issues/1. My benchmark results:

I got similar results on four different machines and two Operating systems: three Linux and one Windows.
This is the old benchmark result, time is at 11:01
This is the final test result currently, the result could not reproduce, it's amazing.
I'm running out of space on the partition where MySQL is installed so I tried moving my largest database to a new partition and symlinked this in the data directory. When I try to use this database I get the following error
mysql> use fb20;
Database changed
mysql> show tables;
ERROR 1018 (HY000): Can't read dir of './fb20/' (errno: 13)
I've checked that symlinks are enabled:
mysql> show variables like 'have_symlink';
+---------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------+-------+
| have_symlink | YES |
+---------------+-------+
All of the permissions look correct. The MySQL data directory is /data:
root> ll /data/
drwxr-x--- 243 mysql mysql 8192 Feb 21 08:02 mysql/
root> ll /data/mysql/ | grep fb20
lrwxrwxrwx 1 mysql mysql 19 Feb 21 08:02 fb20 -> /sandata/mysql/fb20/
and the new directory is /sandata:
root> ll /sandata/
drwxr-x--- 3 mysql mysql 60 Feb 20 20:32 mysql/
root> ll /sandata/mysql/
total 360
drwxr-x--- 3 mysql mysql 60 Feb 20 20:32 ./
drwxrwxr-x 35 root perma 4096 Feb 20 19:59 ../
drwx------ 2 mysql mysql 303104 Feb 15 12:20 fb20/
Not sure what I am doing wrong.
Based on the comment I added the following lines to the file /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld
/sandata/mysql/ r,
/sandata/mysql/** rwk,
and then reloaded the profile (restarting apparmor did not work):
sudo apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld
For some reason, I can't start MySql.
$ sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start

I think I might have to reinstall mysql.
my.cnf is supposed to be in /etc/my.cnf.
Check the start log for the error message, like in /var/log/mysqld.log.
I have a lot of small binary log files , each of them just only 126 Bytes

how to let them grow bigger? and my "binlog_cache_size" is more than 126 Byte

I was trying to do replication and setup my server as slave. i first changed permissions using
sudo chmod 777 /etc/mysql/my.cnf
then
sudo chown user:user -R /etc/mysql
then i tried installing notepad and it crashed. restarted the server and installed Jedit. Finally I edited the my.cnf file added
server-id=1359126008
under [mysqld]
after a restart of mysql and then of the server i got this error
Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
now I am not able to connect any longer. Also the mysqld.sock file does not exist in that folder.
UPDATE
user#ubuntu:~$ sudo service mysql start
start: Job failed to start
user#ubuntu:~$ sudo service mysql stop
stop: Unknown instance:
user#ubuntu:~$ sudo service mysql status
mysql stop/waiting
UPDATE 2
location from my.cnf: log_error = /var/log/mysql/error.log
all existing lines in log:

UPDATE 4
I couldn't get it working. Re-installed mysql and now its working. If you are worried about the databases, mysql gave me the option of removing them or keeping them. I kept them, installed mysql, used the same root pass as before and now everything is working!! thanks guys!
What worries me is the
sudo chown user:user -R /etc/mysql
I do not trust any other user but the mysql user to handle the MySQL Instance
Since mysql is down, do the following:
sudo chown mysql:mysql -R /etc/mysql
service mysql start
Give it a Try !!!
