Hello,

I have an Ubuntu 12.04, Nginx 1.4.4, PHP 5.5.9, running Wordpress, running on an 8GB, 60GB droplet.

The site works great, some of the time, but we are experiencing intermittent 502 and 404 errors, and don’t know where to look. Here is my nginx configuration:

` server { listen 80; root /usr/share/nginx/www; index index.php; server_name website.com www.website.com; autoindex off; include conf.sites/wordpress-both.conf; access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log; error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log error;

set $cache_uri $request_uri;

POST requests and urls with a query string should always go to PHP

if ($request_method = POST) { set $cache_uri ‘null cache’; } if ($query_string != “”) { set $cache_uri ‘null cache’; }

Don’t cache uris containing the following segments

if ($request_uri ~* "(/wp-admin/|/xmlrpc.php|/wp-(app|cron|login|register|mail).php|wp-.*.php|/feed/|index.php|wp-comments-popup.php|wp-links-opml.php|wp-loca$ set $cache_uri ‘null cache’; }

Don’t use the cache for logged in users or recent commenters

if ($http_cookie ~* “comment_author|wordpress_[a-f0-9]+|wp-postpass|wordpress_logged_in”) { set $cache_uri ‘null cache’; }

Use cached or actual file if they exists, otherwise pass request to WordPress

location / { try_files /wp-content/cache/supercache/$http_host/$cache_uri/index.html $uri $uri/ /index.php ; # auth_basic “closed site”; # auth_basic_user_file .htpasswd; }

Erase this block if the phpmyadmin security configuration below works

    location /phpmyadmin {
            root /usr/share/nginx/www;
            index index.php index.html index.htm;
            location ~ ^/phpmyadmin/(.+\.php)$ {
                    try_files $uri =404;
                    fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
                    include fastcgi_params;
            }
           auth_basic           "closed site";
            auth_basic_user_file .htpasswd;
    }

#location /phpmyadmin {

index index.php index.html index.htm;

try_files $uri =404;

Cache static files for as long as possible

2014/03/19 18:53:02 [error] 768#0: *666936 recv() failed (104: Connection reset by peer) while reading response header from upstream, client: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, server: website.com, request: "GET /article-url/?cf_action=sync_comments&post_id=4713 HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9000", host: "www.website.com", referrer: "http://www.website.com/article-url/"
