I reset my root password on my droplet and now am getting a 502 bad gateway error.

How do I get the site back up and running? I am quite new to the community so I am not sure what I am doing. I wanted to access the files via SFTP but didn’t have the original root password so I reset it in order to access it now the site is giving me 502 bad gateway error. And I am not sure how to fix it.

That is unusual. A password reset can force a reboot of the droplet. If your nginx was proxying for another service like node.js/ruby or something else, make sure that the underlying service is running and restart it if it is not.

So basically, mine was a Django project.After resetting my root password, I re-activated my virtual environment and restarted nginx and gunicorn.This solved my error.

Nginx restart : sudo service nginx restart
Gunicorn restart : gunicorn –reload <your wsgi folder name>.wsgi —bind 0.0.0.0:8000
