Question

504 Gateway Timeout after memory resizing

Posted June 8, 2020 1k views
Ruby on RailsNginx

I have a droplet with a rails 5 app working fine. After a deployment I got errors when installing gems and I realized that I had to increase memory.

I had 1Gb and resized to 2Gb.
After resize from 1Gb to 2Gb of memory I got this error (504 Gateway Timeout).

Before resizing I poweroff from terminal, all fine, but I did not:
service nginx stop
service unicorn stop
service postgresql stop
Maybe, is this the problem?

Now all 3 services are working fine, but I still get the 504 Gateway Timeout error.

Also, now when In run cap production deploy it hangs out when installing gems

I’m absolutely lost, and any help will be appreciated.

Hi @Casulleres,

It seems like the services Nginx, Unicorn, PostgresSQL didn’t start properly. To check this SSH to your droplet, 

ssh root@YourDropletIp

Once you are in see if everything is running on the needed ports:

netstat -tulpen

Now, if something doesn’t work right, I’ll recommend trying to restart them like so

service nginx restart
service unicron restart
service postgresql restart

Once this has been done the websites should be running as expected.

Regards,
KDSys

    Hi, thank you for your response!

    First of all, let me say that I’ve reverted the gem changes (new gem and gem updates) that made me resize the memory, so now, the code is as it was last week when everything worked fine.

    I’ve keeped a pair of commented lines at the end of /etc/defaul/unicorn:

    ...
export SECRET_KEY_BASE=452342....61f9
export APP_DATABASE_PASSWORD=.......
#export RECAPTCHA_SITE_KEY=6L...d3r
#export RECAPTCHA_SECRET_KEY=6Ld...GPD

    When I run netstat -tulpen I get:

    (Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info
 will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)

    Is this ok?

      I can see in unicorn.log some errors:

      INFO -- : Refreshing Gem list
/home/rails/.rbenv/versions/2.5.8/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/gems/bundler-2.1.4/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:312:in `check_for_activated_spec!': You have already activated rack 2.2.2, but your Gemfile requires rack 2.0.8. Prepending `bundle exec` to your command may solve this. (Gem::LoadError)
...

      let me investigate, thanks and excuse the inconveniences

        Solved!!
        During the last deploy rack was upgraded and in the revert of the last commit not correctly reverted.

        It is not related with resizing the memory of the droplet

        If the administrators think convenient, I can remove this post
