Mario asked:
Getting error “500 internal server error” when loading a web page which is an https.
The nginx error.log shows “1024 worker_connections are not enough while connecting to upstream”
The website is behind a nginx reverse proxy. It is working without the reverse proxy. Another website behind the proxy is working.
nginx version: nginx/1.16.0
Tried increasing the work connections all the way up to 20480. The configurations seems fine to me. Could be wrong. Here are the configurations files. Reloaded nginx, restarted nginx.
nginx.conf
user nginx;
worker_processes 8;
worker_rlimit_nofile 100480;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log warn;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
#Use multiple worker processes
#work_processes auto;
http {
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
'$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
'"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log main;
sendfile on;
#tcp_nopush on;
keepalive_timeout 65;
#gzip on;
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
#disable server tokens
server_tokens off;
}
server.conf
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com www.example.com;
return 301 https://example.com$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name example.com www.example.com;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/cert.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/cert.key;
ssl_trusted_certificate /etc/nginx/cert.crt;
location / {
proxy_pass https://example.com;
}
location = /favicon.ico {
log_not_found off;
access_log off;
}
}
Any assistance is appreciated.
My answer:
Your server
block accepts connections on port 443 and then tries to proxy_pass
them back to itself. This results in a loop which eventually makes 1024 or 20480 connections to itself, and then you get the error worker connections are not enough
.
To solve the problem, fix the proxy_pass
and pass the request to wherever it is actually supposed to go.
