Issue
I followed the official Laravel doc to start queue in the background using supervisor in Centos 7.
But whene I run this command sudo supervisorctl start laravel-worker:*
I get this error laravel-worker: ERROR (no such group)
Documentation: https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/queues#supervisor-configuration
Solution
I tested it out and created a new server with no supervisor configurations at all. These were my steps to get it running:
# 1. create the config file, see below for content
vi /etc/supervisor/conf.d/laravel-worker.conf
# 2. Reload the daemon's configuration files
supervisorctl reread
> laravel-worker: available
# 3. Reload config and add/remove as necessary
supervisorctl update
> laravel-worker: added process group
# 4. Start all processes of the group "laravel-worker"
supervisorctl start laravel-worker:*
# 5. Get status for all processes of the group "laravel-worker"
supervisorctl status laravel-worker:*
> laravel-worker:laravel-worker_00 RUNNING pid 23758, uptime 0:00:16
> laravel-worker:laravel-worker_01 RUNNING pid 23759, uptime 0:00:16
# 6. After a change in php sources you have to restart the queue, since queue:work does run as daemon
php artisan queue:restart
> Broadcasting queue restart signal.
/etc/supervisor/conf.d/laravel-worker.conf
