Cannot start gunicorn under Circus

Question

When I tried to run the gunicorn directly, it worked:

gunicorn -b 127.0.0.1:8081 ecerp.wsgi --chdir /var/www/django/ecerp_set/demo/ecerp/

But I kept trying with failed when using circus.

[circus]
check_delay = 5
endpoint = tcp://127.0.0.1:5555
pubsub_endpoint = tcp://127.0.0.1:5556
statsd = true

[watcher:ecerp]
cmd = gunicorn
args = -b 127.0.0.1:8081 ecerp.wsgi
working_dir = /var/www/django/ecerp_set/demo/ecerp
send_hup = true

And when I run circusctl, it shows that the app ecerp did not run:

root@vps3:~# circusctl
circusctl 0.11.1
ecerp: stopped
(circusctl)

Please help me point out where is wrong? I've spent half a day on it, thanks very much!

I tried using circus, then runit, somehow it just wan not figuring. That is when I turned to using Systemd option
