Nginx Wordpress error 504

Posted on January 22, 2016

There was a site on Wordpress worked for about 5 months without any complaints. Recently I started to consistently produce an error 502. In this error logs:

2016/01/18 03:58:54 [error] 13245#0: *125039 connect()  
 to unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock failed (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) while connecting to upstream,  
 client: 74.217.28.153, server:   www.d2battle.club, request: "POST /xmlrpc.php HTTP/1.0", upstream: 
 "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock:", host: "188.166.31.15"

I found the following advice: Solution I restart the server - everything worked, the next day there was a 504 error. The log was as follows:

2016/01/19 02:37:38 [error] 3677#0: *5484 upstream timed out (110: Connection timed out)  
 while reading response header from upstream, client: 66.249.66.148, server: www.d2battle.club, request:  
 "GET /done_battles/11/ HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://127.0.0.1:7777", host: "d2battle.club  

Before the error was a pair of triple the following messages:

2016/01/18 04:43:23 [crit] 13245#0: *125168 connect() to unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock failed (2: No such file or directory)  
 while connecting to upstream, client: 176.209.206.24, server: www.d2battle.club, request: "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1",  
 upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock:", host: "d2battle.club", referrer: "http://d2battle.club/"

I am so sorry for my bad english.

Just wanted to chime in here. I also had a similar problem (tried to update wordpress, site went down; nginx log pushed out a fastcgi upstream read error related to headers).

Had tried rebooting php5-fpm, nginx, and server with no luck.

The 2b. fix listed at the site above (http://jvdc.me/fix-502-bad-gateway-error-on-nginx-server-after-upgrading-php/) worked for me like a charm.

Not sure if you googled, but try solution 2a from this link: http://jvdc.me/fix-502-bad-gateway-error-on-nginx-server-after-upgrading-php/

Still a learner my self but it seems your nginx can’t find the /var/run/php5-fpm.sock location. Try the fix from the guide and let me know how it goes ^^
