Running gunicorn as non-root doesn't work #6

Is running gunicorn as root good practice? Can it be fixed to run as the user executing it?

This maybe related to gaining access to the socket file in the temp directory. The socket file is there to provide communication between the nginx web server and gunicorn which runs the python code.

Also, I would recommend installing python supervisor which allows for control over gunicorn and nginx and gives status alerts on whether they are functioning.
