I've followed the Cherrypy daemon webapp skeleton Deploying CherryPy (daemon) which is great. But I've got a shutdown problem.
The server in question is using port 8082. When the shutdown comes from the init.d script it hits the webapp-cherryd equivalent and then throws errors. XXX@mgmtdebian7:/etc/init.d# ./XXX stop

From the surfing I've done thus far I've believe that the service is trying to restart in response to the SIGHUP signal and that it's picking up a default port of 8080 (which isn't & shouldn't be free) and therefore failing.
This leaves the service running - not what's wanted..
BTW my config that sets the port to 8082 is inside the module I load - rather than in a config file.
Thanks for any pointers in anticipation.
As the log clearly states CherryPy is attempting to start on 127.0.0.1:8080 and fails after 5 seconds. So you actually have a start up fail and likely it is because in my config that sets the port to 8082 is inside the module I load - rather than in a config file you don't set the port correctly and CherryPy uses default 8080.
Also I'd like to note that you shouldn't use Autoreloader in production. The cherrypy-webapp-skeleton init.d script sets production CherryPy environment which has Autoreloader off.
