nginx + passenger + rails 3.1 = 502 bad gateway?

I have the latest Nginx running with Passenger, SQLite and Rails 3.1. Somehow, when I have Passenger running for a while, I start getting "502 bad gateway" errors when visiting my website.

Here is a snippet from my Nginx error log:

2011/06/27 08:55:33 [error] 20331#0: *11270 upstream prematurely closed connection while reading response header from upstream, client: xxx.xxx.xx.x, server: www.example.com, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "passenger:unix:/passenger_helper_server:", host: "example.com"
2011/06/27 08:55:47 [info] 20331#0: *11273 client closed prematurely connection, so upstream connection is closed too while sending request to upstream, client: xxx.xxx.xx.x, server: www.example.com, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "passenger:unix:/passenger_helper_server:", host: "example.com"

Here is my passenger-status --show=backtraces output:

This is what my passenger-memory-stats shows:

It seems there is an issue with my the communication between Passenger and Nginx?

Also, looking at the Rails logs, it is clear that the request never reaches Rails at all, as there are no log entries for visits that get the 502 error. So my initial thought of something being wrong with any Rack middleware should not be possible.


The "V" in VM is for Virtual. See also answers on other SO questions, e.g. Virtual Memory Usage from Java under Linux, too much memory used.

That top 147 MB does not hint of anything unusual whatsoever. Your 502 errors mean something else is wrong with the worker processes from Passenger's point of view. You should check your Rails & Nginx log files for clues, and perhaps passenger-status --show=backtraces.


Try setting passenger_spawn_method conservative -- apparently there are issues with Passenger default forking settings and Rails 3.1


I just meet such deadly "502 Bad Gateway error" reported by nginx, web stack is Ubuntu 12.04 + Rails 3.2.9 + Passenger 3.0.18 + nginx 1.2.4, it spent me 2 hours to found the root cause:

My rails application no need database support, so I just remove the gem 'sqlite3' in the Gemfile, it works fine in development mode, but will lead 502 Bad Gateway in production mode.

So after add back gem 'sqlite3' in Gemfile, such 502 Bad Gateway error disappear....


I had the same problem and in my case it helped to increase the passenger_max_pool_size setting in the Nginx configuration file.

Maybe you can also take a look on the following postings which also helped me finding this solution:

It was the same for me in Rails 4, but I have added a "SECRETKEYBASE" in /confirg/secrets.yml

production:
secretkeybase: # add yours here
