Answer 1

make sure there isn't already another /tmp/supervisor.sock owned by some user other than you (like root or something).

if not a permissions problem, add this to your supervisord configuration:

[unix_http_server]
file = /tmp/supervisor.sock ;
chmod=0700 ;

[rpcinterface:supervisor]
supervisor.rpcinterface_factory =
supervisor.rpcinterface:make_main_rpcinterface

Answer 2

Got the solution. The supervisor process was not reloaded as supervisord was in my virtual enve as i ma using django-supervisor package.

once i reloaded the supervisor process, the refused connection error went away.
