Hello!
I’ve WordPress running on nginx, fastCGI. Currently I’m having issues on my droplet, when I try to load my domain I’m getting 502 bad gateway error.
My site was infected with malware. Every PHP on server had a code with base64_decode() in it and I managed to remove it by using the method in [1]. After I removed the code using this method, I got a 502 bad gateway and when I tweaked my config using articles I found on various site, I ended up getting “Unable to connect” message on my browser.
When I run the command service nginx start I get the following error.
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
And
sudo service nginx status
gives me
* could not access PID file for nginx
Any suggestions on getting around this?
