Test nginx for me please
 

I want to test out nginx. I have it running alongside Apache right now, on a different port.

Wordpress isn't working in it right now. You can't click on any of the links in the header (because it'll bring you back to the Apache server).

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com:8000/

So try that link out, navigate the forums, post, etc. Report any problems. I know I'll have tweaking to do, but this way we can test it before it goes live. Remember, if you click on any links in the header it'll bring you back to Apache. As long as the :8000 stays in the URL you are using the nginx server.

I know the RSS icon in the forums isn't showing up.

Re: Test nginx for me please

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

Now it's up. Odd.

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

Getting:

502 Bad Gateway
nginx/0.7.62

ON the TouchPro Forums. TP2 works fine.

Update: Back up @ 1:09PM EST.

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

Yeah, that just happened here too. I'm sure I need to tweak something. That was happening alot last night when I was trying it.

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

does it have to do with the server load?

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

Working fine for me, nice and fast.

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

nginx keeps running fine, but PHP dies out of the blue and doesn't restart until I run a script. So nginx reports Bad Gateway whenever that happens.

It runs fine with a few users, then as more people use it is when it seems to happen.

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

Dang, so how can I help?

@ClevelandWheeler: Using IE here at work.

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

That's odd. Is there anything useful in /var/log/apache or wherever the Apache logs are stored?

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

Oops brain fart! I mean nginx logs.

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

No, because if you're using the :8000 you're not using Apache at all.

EDIT: Saw you corrected it lol.

This shows up, which basically looks like nginx isn't connecting to php-cgi...
2009/11/04 12:07:22 [error] 10428#0: *1703 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: 99.186.228.173, server: forum.ppcgeeks.com, request: "GET /forumdisplay.php?f=97 HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://127.0.0.1:8888", host: "forum.ppcgeeks.com:8000", referrer: "http://forum.ppcgeeks.com:8000/"

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

Your work might block port 8000 since its not a standard HTML/web port.

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

Just keep getting "the page cannot be displayed" or cannot locate server.

Edit: Just read Frosty's comments. Please don't tell me I can't get on when I'm at work... I'll have to find other employment!!!

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

Just worked for me in the Touch Pro forum.........

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

This isn't a permament thing, I just set it up this way so we could test it without it going "live".

Once everything seems to be smooth, it'll go live on port 80.

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

Thank you!!! I started getting panicky, cold sweats and shaking with the thought of no PPCG at work... it would make for a long and miserable day!!!

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

Bad Gateway again...gotta figure this one out after lunch!

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

Seems to be working fine for me with no issues at all. I definetely agree that it seems to be loading a little quicker. Could you throw a script on the server to check to ensure that PHP is running, say every minute, and if it fails, fire off another script to restart it?

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

Probably, but if all the traffic starts going to this server and it crashes every 2 minutes, that would get annoying lol.

Once I get it more stable I'll probably do that in case of the random crash.

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

Works well for me

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

just started using it and it is blazen fast

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

Look great to me load time is about 4.00s vs 4.00vs looks good

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

I have a commercial product at work that monitors all of our equipment, per system and specific ports, and sends me a text message if there are any issues. It also has the capability to restart services, etc. That's what made me think it might be a good idea for this site.

There are plenty of open source solutions out there. Let me know if you need a list and I can PM one to you.

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

If you have time, that would be great!

On another note, I think I just made nginx even faster :) (atleast it seems to be to me)...still gotta work on the PHP Bad Gateway error though.

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

Yeah get that fixed and I think we can go live. :)

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

502 error when trying to get in to the Imagio forum. Everything else has been working fine so far.

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

502 Bad Gateway

Using FF3.5.4 on an XP PC.
Same thing using IE, Opera & Chrome.

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

502 bad gateway @1405 eastern time

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

Just testing out multi-quote for the fun of it

EDIT: Working fine obv, and still very fast

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

Very fast indeed!

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

Same situation for me.....
But, other than that it seems pretty fast!!!

Re: Test nginx for me please
 

Alright, do whatever you can do to try to break it, I *might* have fixed the php/Bad Gateway error.

I want to see how long it holds up.
