Starting supervisorctl gives ERROR (spawn error) on laravel queue worker process

Question

So i have installed supervisor and it appears to be running. I have placed my config file for the queue worker in /etc/supervisor/conf.d/laravel-worker.conf

And it looks like this

[program:laravel-worker]
process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d
command=php /var/www/html queue:work database --sleep=3 --tries=2 --daemon
autostart=true
autorestart=true
numprocs=4
redirect_stderr=true
stdout_logfile=/var/www/html/storage/logs/laravel.log

And my supervisord.conf looks like this

[unix_http_server]
file=/var/run/supervisor.sock   ; (the path to the socket file)
chmod=0775                       ; sockef file mode (default 0700)
chown=root

[supervisord]
logfile=/var/log/supervisor/supervisord.log ; (main log file;default $CWD/supervisord.log)
pidfile=/var/run/supervisord.pid ; (supervisord pidfile;default supervisord.pid)
childlogdir=/var/log/supervisor            ; ('AUTO' child log dir, default $TEMP)

; the below section must remain in the config file for RPC
; (supervisorctl/web interface) to work, additional interfaces may be
 ; added by defining them in separate rpcinterface: sections
 [rpcinterface:supervisor]
 supervisor.rpcinterface_factory = supervisor.rpcinterface:make_main_rpcinterface

[supervisorctl]
serverurl=unix:///var/run/supervisor.sock ; use a unix:// URL  for a unix socket

; The [include] section can just contain the "files" setting.  This
; setting can list multiple files (separated by whitespace or
; newlines).  It can also contain wildcards.  The filenames are
; interpreted as relative to this file.  Included files *cannot*
; include files themselves.

[include]
files = /etc/supervisor/conf.d/*.conf

I am getting the error - ERROR (spawn error) when i attempt to start the processes.

When i look at the log file it shows -

I have verified that all the files in my config file exist. I am not sure i am using the right configuration in my laravel-worker.conf. I have searched documentation and other stackoverflow threads but could not find the solution

Answer 1

I got resolve by restarting supervisor

sudo service supervisor reload

Answer 2

So the problem apparently was with my laravel-worker I needed to complete command path by adding '/artisan' to the path like so -

[program:laravel-worker]
process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d
command=php /var/www/html/artisan queue:work database --sleep=3 --tries=2 --daemon

Answer 3

The same issue I was also facing, after specifying the queue name properly issue resolved

command=php /home/vagrant/code/prject1/artisan queue:work redis --queue=email --sleep=3 --tries=1 --daemon

Here is my worker file laravel-worker.conf
