dotnet core error starting application with supervisor

Question

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask, but here it is: I created an ASP.NET Core web application, and copied all the files on my Ubuntu 14.04 server. I can compile and run without a problem, but now I want this application/web site to run permanently.

I followed all the steps described here https://docs.asp.net/en/latest/publishing/linuxproduction.html, installed nginx as reverse proxy to run with apache, and all of this run perfectly well.

BUT, trying to use supervisor and start the app from it, I systematically get an error /usr/bin/dotnet cannot execute binary file. But, if I move to be in the directory where the application is published, and type dotnet appname.dll it does start without a glitch.

I am not sure where to look to get this to work with supervisor. Thanks for your help (and if this question should be somewhere else, let me know)

Answer 1

In your configuration file:

Change the command argumento to:

command=/bin/bash -c "dotnet /home/username/path/application/website.dll"

Add the directory parameter to use a working folder

directory=/home/username/path/application

Its work
