Question
Unable to Reverse Proxy Nginx - 502 error
I am trying to reverse proxy my ghost blog so that port 80 redirects to port 2368. However, reaching the site at port 80 gives me a 502 Bad Gateway error.
This is a manual install of ghost on a Debian system.
I am running in production with pm2. I am able to connect to port 2368.
My conf file on nginx/conf.d/ reads:
server {
listen 80;
server_name levity.io;
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2368;
}
}
My conf.js file for ghost reads:
// # Ghost Configuration

var path = require('path'),

module.exports = config;
Checking the nginx error logs, I find these messages:
2015/02/19 06:25:10 [error] 23331#0: *13 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: 70.36.197.234, server: levity.io, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://127.0.0.1:2368/", host: "levity.io"
