nginx codeigniter 502 bad gateway

Question

The config of nginx is as follows:

server {
        listen       80;
        server_name  www.example.com;

        root   /home/wwwroot/example.com;
                


        

Answer 1

• You don't have a root in location / (this might be OK)

• You haven't stated whether or not you are trying to remove index.php from the url (if you are trying to visit a URL without index.php and without the rewrite, this may lead to the 502)

• You are missing some suggested params

Here is an nginx config I have running and working with CI (CentOS 6). It removes index.php from the URL. It's also SSL but you can just take that junk out if you don't need. It should at least point you in the right direction.

server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  _;
    access_log   /var/www/https/logs/access.log;
    error_log    /var/www/https/logs/error.log;
    return       301 https://www.example.com$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen 443 default_server ssl;
    server_name *.example.com;
    ssl on;
    ssl_certificate /var/www/ssl/wildcard.example.com.chained.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /var/www/ssl/wildcard.example.com.key;
    ssl_verify_depth 3;
    access_log /var/www/https/logs/ssl/access.log;
    error_log /var/www/https/logs/ssl/error.log;

    if ($request_uri ~ " ") {
        return 444;
    }

    location /  {
        root   /var/www/https/;

        # file doesn't exist, let CI handle it
        if (!-f $request_filename) {
                rewrite ^(.*) /index.php?$1 last;
        }
    }

    location ~* ^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico)$ {
        root              /var/www/https/;
        access_log        on;
        expires           30d;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        include fastcgi.conf;#/etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/https$fastcgi_script_name;
