502 Bad Gateway after setting up Meteor on Ubuntu 14.04

August 31, 2015 2.6k views
Nginx Deployment

Hi all,

I followed this set of instructions to install my Meteor app. https://cloud.digitalocean.com/support/suggestions?query=meteor

However, after starting the app, I still get the 502 Bad Gateway Error.

Upon looking into the Nginx logs, I see this error -

[error] 7969#0: *152 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream

Any idea what the problem could be?

Thanks!

Hi. Are you able to access Meteor on port 8080 (browse to http://your droplet's ip address:8080)? If not, start it and try again:

start todos

If that still doesn't work, please post the output of the following command:

sudo netstat -plutn

      Hi @helpiest,

      It looks like meteor is not running on your droplet, or at least not listening on any ports. Does starting meteor manually work or does it output any errors?

        Thanks, Now see node is listening 8080, but still not working :(

Hi,

Thanks for your help!
In the end, I made use of Meteor up package to setup and deploy. It works fine :)
