502 Bad Gateway nginx/1.14.0 (Ubuntu) Django - django

Question

Well I've depoloyed my Django application on DigitalOcean, and used domain which I bought. Now instead of default application page it shows 502 Bad Gateway
nginx/1.14.0 (Ubuntu). And nginx errors log returns such error:
*4 connect() to unix:/home/username/project.sock failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: 82.194.22.116, server: challenge.com, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://unix:/home/username/project.sock:/", host: "challenge.com"
my nginx configurations:
server {
listen 80;
server_name challenge.com;
location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location /static/ {
root /home/username;
}
location / {
include proxy_params;
proxy_pass http://unix:/home/username/ccproject.sock;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
}
}
my settings in ``settings.py```:
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['64.225.1.249', 'challenge.com']
And my socket file is in /home/username/
gunicorn status:

How did your unix socket came to life? Do you have /etc/systemd/system/gunicorn.socket script as per here: https://docs.gunicorn.org/en/stable/deploy.html
