Error: .ini file does not include supervisorctl section

  • 772

Supervisorctl doesn't seem to let me in:

$ supervisorctl -c /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf
Error: .ini file does not include supervisorctl section
For help, use /usr/bin/supervisorctl -h
$ cat /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf 
[supervisord]
nodaemon=true

I have both specified the config and [supervisord]. Is it possible my config is in the wrong place?

  1. Best Answer

    Adding a blank [supervisorctl] section seems to resolve the issue for me:

    $ cat /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf 
[supervisord]
nodaemon=true

[supervisorctl]

  2. In the supervisor version 3+, I had to add the following in the conf file to make it work:

    [inet_http_server]         
port=127.0.0.1:9001

[rpcinterface:supervisor]
supervisor.rpcinterface_factory = supervisor.rpcinterface:make_main_rpcinterface

[supervisorctl]
serverurl=http://127.0.0.1:9001

    or you may use unix socket as:

    [unix_http_server]
file=/run/supervisord.sock

[supervisorctl]
serverurl=unix:///run/supervisord.sock

  3. The same error troubled me.

    There is an issue in their github https://github.com/Supervisor/supervisor/issues/376

    Find out the path matters.

    In /etc/supervisor/ path of my server.

    /etc/supervisor# ls
conf.d  supervisord.conf

    Some change was made in /etc/supervisor/conf.d. I did most change from the issue above, not helping.

    Then I inspired by this comment https://github.com/Supervisor/supervisor/issues/376#issuecomment-404385767
    After cd .. ie. move to /etc/supervisor/ it works fine.

    Hope this can help others.

  4. I had duplicate supervisord.conf files. One empty file "/etc/supervisord.conf" which was being used, and the other one at "/etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf" which I thought was the one being used. I deleted the empty file (/etc/supervisord.conf) and the error was gone.
