Django nginx 502 bad gateway

Question

I am learing nginx for django, i am running the server in locally with docker.

this is my django_nginix.conf file :

server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
server_name musicaldd.com;

client_max_body_size 90M;

location /media/ {
    root /home/pyking/cpd/musicaldd_back/storage/;
}

location /static/ {
    root /home/pyking/cpd/musicaldd_back/storage/;
}

location / {
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_redirect off;
    proxy_buffering off;
    proxy_pass http://djangoapp:8000/;
}

}

When I run the server creating docker images and hit the URLs, it returns me 502-bed getaway timeout | nginix 502-bed getaway timeout | nginix Can anyone tell me why this errors occuse, how can I fix this error

It may stupid question but this is very serious to me, coz, i am new on Nginx, it will really much be appreciated if you help me to fix this

Answer 1

If you are using uwsgi add this to your nginx.conf file based on your uwsgi params file location.

include   /etc/nginx/uwsgi_params;
uwsgi_pass  unix://tmp/uwsgi.sock;
uwsgi_param SCRIPT_NAME /;

If you are not i suggest use that. there is another option called gunicorn but uwsgi has better performance.
