Symlink causing Unknown job: gunicorn error

Question

I followed the instructions given me here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/29371878/2532070

But the use of a symlink with my gunicorn.conf file is causing my startup script not to work, giving the Unknown job: gunicorn error.

I've tried using init-checkconf /etc/init/gunicorn.conf which returns syntax ok.

I'm guessing there's some kind of error with references or permissions but I can't figure it out via googling or searching here. Thanks for any help!

Symlinks don't automatically work if you're using upstart.

The solution was to use:

initctl reload-configuration to enable symlinks with gunicorn
