Nginx Helper 502 error

v3
#1

I get a 502 error when I purge the cache through the nginx helper plugin

#2

usually 502 is thrown when nginx is not able to connect to phpfpm/gateway process. Is it happening reqpeatedly or happened only once? Is the server load is high?

Have a look into log for more information so that we can pin the exact issue. tail -f /var/log/nginx/sitename.error.log
