11: Resource temporarily unavailable, while connecting to upstream + Bad Gateway (Nginx)

  • 772

For all the sites on my new server, it seems as though once nginx has served some amount of traffic, it starts serving "ERROR 502 - Bad Gateway!".

Let's take a look at some logs and config...

  • OS: Ubuntu 16.04 (Server)

  • Hardware: 6 cores, 12GB RAM

  • Panel: ISPConfig

  • nginx version: 1.10.3

From /var/www/example/log/error.log:

11: Resource temporarily unavailable) while connecting to upstream, client: 216.170.123.179, server: example.com, request: "GET /KHFxygk9 HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/lib/php7.0-fpm/web3.sock:", host: "example.com", referrer: "http://example.com/"
2017/08/10 06:01:06 [error] 15408#15408: *31372 connect() to unix:/var/lib/php7.0-fpm/web3.sock failed (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) while connecting to upstream, client: 192.3.114.12, server: example.com, request: "GET /jiPNQjwp HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/lib/php7.0-fpm/web3.sock:", host: "example.com", referrer: "http://example.com/"

Here are my config files:

  • /etc/php/7.0/fpm/pool.d/www.conf

user = www-data
group = www-data

listen = /run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock

listen.group = www-data

pm.max_children = 12    
pm.start_servers = 2    
pm.min_spare_servers = 1    
pm.max_spare_servers = 3    
pm.max_requests = 500

  1. These errors could be caused by lack of allowed maximum number of socket connections (mostly default is 128). You can view the current limit by executing cat /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn and it's highly recommended to increase this limit:

    sudo echo "net.core.somaxconn = 65535" | tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
sudo sysctl -p

    And check whether it has changed cat /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn.

    Also these errors could be caused by lack of number of incoming connections backlog queue (mostly default is 1000). Check the current limit executing cat /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_max_backlog. It's recommended to increase the limit:

    sudo echo "net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 65535" | tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
sudo sysctl -p

    And check whether it has changed cat /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_max_backlog

    Note: it's impossible to follow my advice if these troubles appeared on your OpenVZ VPS, because you can't change kernel parameters using this type of virtualization. The better option in this case is trying to use port listening in your php-fpm pool config instead of socket (e.g. listen = 9000). Check your busy ports for finding available one by executing sudo netstat -tunlp.

  2. you have some mismatch in cfg, in php define listen = /run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock but nginx try to connect to fastcgi://unix:/var/lib/php7.0-fpm/web3.sock. Set the same value on both places (php and nginx)

  3. You have to increase your php-fpm max children's setting pm.max_children. The current value is 12.

    Can you attach php-fpm error log also?
