What are the last few lines in your /var/log/nginx/error.log file?

(tail -n 15 /var/log/nginx/error.log)

That is most likely related to FastCGI not running or not processing requests so check to see if its listening on the default config IP/port: 127.0.0.1:9000

And also check your error logs if there are any more details that may help guide you.

But more likely than not its related either to FastCGI not running, or a misconfigured proxy between nginx and FastCGI.

Sorry for the noob question, I've looked around the web a lot as to how to do this. I'm having a really tough time finding the answer.

Moisey, would you mind posting how to check to see if FastCGI is listening on that port?

Thank you in advance!

I've set up wordpress on Ubuntu 12.4 running nginx as well. I can log into the WP dashboard but, I get this same error pretty often when in my wordpress dashboard. Sometimes when I refresh the page, it goes away, but it happens so often 2-3 times/hour. It makes me want to fix whatever the root issue is.

@shanelharder: 
sudo netstat -plutn
outputs a list of everything that's listening on a port. FastCGI might be set to listen on a socket file, you can check that by looking at the fastcgi_pass line in your virtualhost config.

Also, check nginx's error logs, are there any errors in there?
