I recently switched from Apache2 to Nginx for my web server because Apache was giving me some very weird issues that no one could seem to solve. I used this guide here to make the switch. Now, I see in my Nginx error log (located /var/log/nginx/error.log)
2016/06/07 18:41:50 [error] 3221#0: *53 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, server: websitename.net, request: "POST /xmlrpc.php HTTP/1.0", upstream: "fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9000", host: "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
The site was working fine up until a few days ago. I did not change any settings during that time. Here is my full Nginx config.

Hi,
Im getting a similar error, but I have:
# With php7.0-cgi alone:
# fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
# # With php7.0-fpm:
# fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
do I need to change unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock to 127.0.0.1:9000?
Also, /etc/php7/fpm/pool.d/www.conf is not found
Mine issue was slightly different I was reverse-proxying my subdomain wordpress blog site on my main site, and I wasn’t using PHP-fpm for handling PHP pages.
the error was:
connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, server: “my.site.com”, request: GET /blog HTTP/1.0", upstream: “my.blog.site”, host: “my.site.com”
the issue was in my blog server’s firewall where WordPress was blocking my site IP address.
check status of firewall #ufw status verbose if status active next
check the iptable #iptables -S check if list contains “f2b-wordpress-hard -s xx.main.site.ip.xx/32 -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable”
do #fail2ban-client set wordpress-hard unbanip xx.main.site.ip.xx
