I'm having problems getting Sentry (https://www.getsentry.com - not enough rep for a link) running as a service using supervisor. I can run Sentry in the command line and view it correctly in the browser but when it comes to supervisor I am completely in the dark.

I shall try and give all the details I can

Initial user warning

• By no means a server admin, just playing/learning in VirtualBox.
• Literally only just discovered supervisor from reading the Sentry documentation so I may well be making some obvious mistakes here.

The setup:

• Ubuntu server 11.10 (fresh install, VirtualBox)
• virtualenv with Sentry and its dependencies.
• supervisor

Instructions followed

• Supervisor with vanilla ini file
• Sentry/supervisor instructions

My supervisor ini (Sentry section)

[program:sentry-web]
directory=/root/.virtualenvs/sentry/
command= start http /root/.virtualenvs/sentry/bin/sentry
autostart=true
autorestart=true
redirect_stderr=true

OK so here we go:

When I run supervisord -n I get the following messages rather than a nice web interface to play with.

2012-04-12 23:48:09,024 CRIT Supervisor running as root (no user in config file)

CRIT Supervisor running as root (no user in config file) suggests a big problem, probably shouldn't be running this as root?

CRIT Server 'unix_http_server' running without any HTTP authentication checking Surely authentication is optional?

INFO exited: sentry-web (exit status 1; not expected) *sad face* here. Google hasn't been much help yet.

Anyway, that is it as far as I know. If anyone can help me that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
