Hi there,
Somehow I can’t get a fresh Wordpress installation by running ee site create mysite.com --wp
It results in a 502 Bad Gateway Nginx.
I don’t know what is going wrong. If I delete mysite.com and try to create it again it still gives me this 502 error.
Where should I look at when this happens?
Thanks in advance!
Please check if your PHP is running.
Try restarting PHP services.
Hi Prabuddha,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
I’m a real noob with this;-)
I have restarted the services but didn’t work.
I did checked some php info with ee info --php.
I noticed that the parameter “user” is empty.
While the docs says it should be “www-data”.
Should I change this?
And if yes, how would I do that?
Cheers
Empty ‘user’ parameter doesn’t matter.
Run ee stack status to make sure your php-fpm service is running or could also run
ps aux | grep php to see a running php process. Are you using unix socket or tcp?
Pardon the obvious question but did you setup your DNS records to point to this new domain by server IP?
Did you recently do any upgrade to ee? which version do you run? what is the output of ee --v ?
B/c if you had php5-fpm before and you upgraded to newest Nginx it could have changed to php56 or php7 and you need to reconfigure your Ngnix location ~ \.php$ block.
Hi Tyrro,
Thanks for your reply.
I checked the status. See my image for the output.
I’m not sure about the Unix socket or tcp. How do I check it. Ee is running on Digital Ocean. Does that make sense?
The DNS is pointing to my server (Digital Ocean).
The version of ee is the latest version. (v3.5.5)
As you can see, I have multiple php versions running.
In what file can I reconfigure the Nginx? And should I check?
As you can see, i’m a real noob with this 
But with this help I come pretty far.
Cheers!
I have 502 error after upgraded to php56.
Tyrro, could you, please, specify how can I reconfigure Ngnix location ~ .php$ block?
Please run sudo ee site edit mysite.com this will open your nginx config file for mysite.com. Paste the config here.

I checked my own setting and they are exactly like yours and it’s working fine. The only difference is on your server block you have this include
include anonima/basia.conf;
can you try to comment this with # like so:
#include anonima/basia.conf; and see if it makes a difference.
Visit your website until it shows 502 bad gateway nginx then go to /var/log/nginx then open your domain.com.error.log file paste it here
Hello,
I am having the same exact issue on a fresh server on my first WordPress install using EasyEngine. I have tried all the things previously said in this thread. My config files look exactly the same as the OP except I do not have the line that says “include anonima/basia.conf;”
Here it is:
2016/05/09 17:40:39 [error] 21954#0: *4 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: 173.245.56.126, server: example.com, request: “GET / HTTP/1.1”, upstream: “fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9000”, host: “example.com”
[Note: I replaced all the places where my domain was with “example.com” (without quotes)]
There are about 20 more lines of that exact same error.
Any ideas why this might be happening?
it was an error in creating run/php , which prevented php from starting. run apt-get upgrade and then restart your web stack (ee stack restart), it should be fixed.
@LQDForce you are my hero. I was having this exact same issue and I had been chasing down a red herring that it was my iptables. You have totally made my day.
This fixed everything
Just got some time to try to fix the issue. Thanks LQDForce. You’re the hero of the day. You’ve made it happen! Finally I can work again 
Cheers.
