502 Bad Gateway; nginx/1.16.1

Testing the nginx config:

root@TuDallasNC:/var/log/nginx# sudo nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

Get us a...

netstat -tulpn

There are a lot of unknowns here. My guess is that whatever is running NextCloud, isn't.

You can fix the nginx.service: Can't open PID file /run/nginx.pid (yet?) after start: No such file or directory by doing following:

sudo mkdir /etc/systemd/system/nginx.service.d
printf "[Service]\nExecStartPost=/bin/sleep 0.1\n" | \
sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/nginx.service.d/override.conf
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart nginx
sudo systemctl stop nginx

I was reading that a few minutes ago, and search to see if the file was there,.. and it is.

However, Let me run through it.

Issue continues

JaredBusch

Nextcloud runs on Apache by default, or at least used to. So I have no idea what script you followed to get Nginx.

Did you install Nextcloud with Nginx instead of Apche?

I do not recall - as that was months ago. I used the Vultr scripted base install. I've kept it update/upgraded but took the time to upgrade the distro from 18.04 to 19.10

thats why i dont like the scripted installs, they are good and gets you going fast, but when times come to troubleshoot... cause you didnt do it, it will take you x100 time to solve it.

Hmm... Is apache running perhaps?

I've had the reverse of that issue before where apache was started and brought a site down

gjacobse

It was the Vultr stock server build for Nextcloud.

In trying to fix things, I think I have made matters worse, so at this point, I've downloaded the few files that where there, and will re-install the server nuking the current data.

Of note; the data was found at:

/var/www/html/data/user17049/files/SHARENAME

You have the answer in the logs you posted. Nginx can't connect to php handler daemon on port 9000, most likely php-fpm.
