# example supervisord.conf for running tornado
[unix_http_server]
file=/tmp/supervisor.sock   ; (the path to the socket file)

[supervisord]
logfile=/tmp/supervisord.log ; (main log file;default $CWD/supervisord.log)
logfile_maxbytes=50MB       ; (max main logfile bytes b4 rotation;default 50MB)

pidfile=/tmp/supervisord.pid ; (supervisord pidfile;default supervisord.pid)
nodaemon=false              ; (start in foreground if true;default false)

[program:tornado-5000]
command=/myflaskapp/app.py      ; the program (relative uses PATH, can take args)
autostart=true                ; start at supervisord start (default: true)
autorestart=true              ; retstart at unexpected quit (default: true)
stdout_logfile=/var/log/supervisord/tornado-stdout.log        ; stdout log path, NONE for none; default AUTO
stderr_logfile=/var/log/supervisord/tornado-stderr.log        ; stderr log path, NONE for none; default AUTO

@AndreiD 's solution for static files worked for me.
May I ask for a way to enable tornado https behind the nginx?
Thanks...
