Gunicorn debugging permission denied for sock file

Question

I believe there's an issue with my gunicorn sock file if I start/stop gunicorn the sock file is created and deleted and the status of gunicorn is active and running okay but when I try to load the site I get a 502 gateway error and a permission denied for the sock file.

2017/07/20 10:06:29 [crit] 25878#25878: *2189 connect() to unix:/home/sammy/revamp/revamp.sock failed (13: Permission denied) while connecting to upstream, client: 196.103.90.57, server: plusc...

Here's the sock file's permissions

srwxrwxrwx  1 sammy    www-data       0 Jul 20 10:10 revamp.sock=

and the gunicorn settings

    [Unit]
Description=gunicorn daemon
After=network.target

[Service]
User=sammy
Group=www-data
WorkingDirectory=/home/sammy/revamp
ExecStart=/home/sammy/revamp/revampenv/bin/gunicorn --access-logfile - --workers 3 --bind unix:/home/sammy/revamp/revamp.sock revamp.wsgi:application

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

the current username is sammy

(Have you checked the "use pathname permissions" ("x"-bits) on the directories involved?) — greybeard, Jul 20 '17 at 10:46

This fixed the issue I made sudo chown -R sammy:www-data revamp I set the parent folder to the same group and user as the gunicorn conf
