Bad Gateway error when I restart server

Posted on February 21, 2017

My server has to domains hosted:

  1. One I’m using for a blog with Ghost on Nginx.
  2. One just an ordinary site with HTML and CSS files, etc.

Whenever I reboot my droplet, it comes back with this error on the Nginx/Ghost site.

502 Bad Gateway

nginx/1.10.2

Any ideas on what this might be happening? I fixed this the first time it happened but I made the mistake of not documenting what I did to fix it. Whatever I did to fix it was just a temporary fix because ideally this would work on restart without having to do anything. Thank you.
