Perfect server Ubuntu+nginx+wordpress upstream not working

Hi guys, noob here, I followed The perfect setup ubuntu+nginx and everything worked fine. the setup is complete and working. thanx!


I create a site and uploaded wordpress to it, but when I go to start the setup of wordpress i get this error:

----------------------------------------------
ERROR 502 - Bad Gateway!

The following error occurred:

This server received an invalid response from an upstream server it accessed to fulfill the request.

----------------------------------------------

I need to know what steps to follow configuring wordpress on it.
all help is appreciated

thank you

 

thank you for answering

I did, service php-fpm restart, i rebooted the server but same thing.

when I created the site it works fine, but as soon as I upload wordpress I get error 502

do i need to do any special configuration to run wordpress?

 

yes I created an ftp user for that site, used it to upload the files

 

the service name i have is php5-fpm

I restarted it with this command:

sudo service php5-fpm restart


root@server-x01:/home/administrator# sudo service php5-fpm restart
* Restarting PHP5 FastCGI Process Manager php5-fpm [ OK ]

 

What is the best distribution to use to install "the perfect server with nginx" ?

I followed the one with ubuntu 11.10 to the letter and it doesn't work for wordpress.

now i am getting erro 500.

If i create a new site it works fine, upload a script like wordpress i get error 502 gateway error, restart php-fpm and then i get error 500-internal server error.
There has to be something wrong with nginx and wordpress php code

any suggestions would help

thanx

 

The php5-fpm init script is buggy: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=645934

The do_stop and do_reload functions in /etc/init.d/php5-fpm must look as follows:

Code:

#
# Function that stops the daemon/service
#
do_stop()
{
        # Return
        #   0 if daemon has been stopped
        #   1 if daemon was already stopped
        #   2 if daemon could not be stopped
        #   other if a failure occurred
        start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet [B][COLOR="Red"]--retry=QUIT/$TIMEOUT/TERM/5/KILL/5[/COLOR][/B] --pidfile $PIDFILE --name $NAME
        RETVAL="$?"
        [ "$RETVAL" = 2 ] && return 2
        # Wait for children to finish too if this is a daemon that forks
        # and if the daemon is only ever run from this initscript.
        # If the above conditions are not satisfied then add some other code
        # that waits for the process to drop all resources that could be
        # needed by services started subsequently.  A last resort is to
        # sleep for some time.
        start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --retry=0/30/TERM/5/KILL/5 --exec $DAEMON
        [ "$?" = 2 ] && return 2
        # Many daemons don't delete their pidfiles when they exit.
        rm -f $PIDFILE
        return "$RETVAL"
}

#
# Function that sends a SIGHUP to the daemon/service
#
do_reload() {
        #
        # If the daemon can reload its configuration without
        # restarting (for example, when it is sent a SIGHUP),
        # then implement that here.
        #
        start-stop-daemon --stop --signal [B][COLOR="Red"]USR2[/COLOR][/B] --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE --name $NAME
        return 0
}
