Hello,

I am getting 502 bad gateway error while trying to setup nginx server as reverse proxy server with caching enabled. Both servers are on seperate machines, another server having apache web server.

Given below are my config files, please help me.

nginx.conf

}

Please note www.example.com is replaced with actual domain, and ip 1.2.3.4 is replaced with actual ip address in the original configuration file.

Additional Information :

I have done the lnmp installation using the script available here : http://www.ruchirablog.com/lnmp-v08-complete-nginx-auto-installer/
