Hi,
I facing the following error, inspite of creating
~/apps/voice_rules/shared/log/unicorn.stderr.log.
Can you help.

I guess you have the literal "~/" in your config/unicorn.rb?

Instead of the "~/", you should probably have the value of
the HOME environment variable.

In other words, use:

  stderr_path "#{ENV['HOME']}/apps/voice_rules/shared/log/unicorn.stderr.log"

Not this:

  stderr_path "~/apps/voice_rules/shared/log/unicorn.stderr.log"


The "~/" is only evaluated to be the value of ENV['HOME']
by your shell (probably bash if you use a GNU/Linux system).
Most other tools (like unicorn) will interpret '~/' literally.
