Foreman exiting immediately with code 1

Question

I am having trouble with getting foreman to work.

When I run foreman start, I get the following output:

13:48:12 web.1  | started with pid 14896
13:48:12 web.1  | Traceback (most recent call last):
13:48:12 web.1  |   File "C:\Python33\Scripts\gunicorn-script.py", line 9, in <module>

13:48:12 web.1  | exited with code 1
13:48:12 web.1  |     entry = __import__(self.module_name, globals(),globals(), ['__name__'])

13:48:12        |   File "C:\Python33\lib\site-packages\gunicorn\app\wsgiapp.py", line 10, in <module>

Frankly, I don't have a clue what is causing this. Help would be much appreciated.

My Procfile is as follows:

web: gunicorn caraton.wsgi 

Answer 1

A bit late here so I expect you've worked this out for yourself, but as you appear to be in a Windows environment, gunicorn does not currently run on Windows. This is referenced here on stackoverflow.

Windows support is apparently planned as described here.

I ran into the same problem myself.
