Question

Domain returns 502 bad gateway, why can I no longer connect

Posted September 8, 2018 1.2k views
Apache

I was trying to set up a sub domain when suddenly I can no longer connect to my primary domain. I have a server set up with nginx. I am still learning this whole process and would really appreciate some help in what to do to fix this. Let me know what files I should include that would help you to help me fix this issue.

    Can you post your NGINX Config for your domain and sub-domain?

    That is my default website nginx config, and this next one is my subdomains.

    /etc/nginx/sites-available/defaut

    First to help make the configuration less confusing we can change the default file to whats desplayed below.

    server {
  listen 80 default_server;
  listen 443 default_server;

  server_name _;

  return 444;
}

    This returns a 444 on both ports 80 and 443 with a no respnse and closes the connection. This happens for any traffic hitting the server that is not jchud.ninja - essentially a black hole.

    From what I can see the issue is you have incomplete server blocks. As I do not know what you file name is I am just going to assume it is the following…

    /etc/nginx/sites-available/jchud.ninja and we will work with the blog.* domain.

    we first change

    server_name _ blog.jchud.ninja;

    to

    server_name blog.jchud.ninja;

    we romove…

    root /var/www/blog.jchud.ninja/html;

    index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

    location ~ \.php$ {
    include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;

    # With php7.0-cgi alon
    # With php7.0-fpm:
    fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
}

    These directive are conflicting with what I am assuming is the desired destination. The server block should look like this now. \

    server {
    listen 80;

    server_name blog.jchud.ninja;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }    
}

    Note that the blog application present on port 8080 needs to be active - Also noted these settings are non-ssl configurations.

    The biggest issue that I see is that your server blocks are incomplete and in some cases conflicting. A couple questions I have are what are your back ends - ie your website (wordpress?) and your blog(ghost?)?

    I don’t really have a back end. The server is being run with nginx and I am coding the website myself. I am not using wordpress or any other kind of external program I am trying to build this all on my own.
