I've made a website with Ruby and FastCGI, and it works great under Apache. I'd like to switch to nginx, but I can't get it working.
The website is made of two processes: one takes care of AJAX calls, the other takes care of the rest.
So far I figured out I should use spawn-fcgi to start my workers and bind them to a socket. Because I'd like to have multiple workers, I also use multiwatch.
The problem is, whenever I try to access to a page, I get a 502 error, and the following line in error.log:
2013/04/03 23:58:39 [error] 1450#0: *1 upstream prematurely closed connection while reading response header from upstream, client: 127.0.0.1, server: v2.localhost, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://unix:/run/fastcgi/site-v2.main.sock:/", host: "v2.localhost:8000" So no worker ever answer the request. netstat -x doesn't display the socket at all, but it seems like it's in use, because if I try to launch my start script twice it says spawn-fcgi: socket is already in use, can't spawn.
One last thing: if I launch my start script and doesn't try to request a page, the multiwatch processes and the workers terminate properly with one kill to multiwatch. But if I request a page, the multiwatch supposed to send the response and all its children workers sort of hang. I have to kill -9 them all.
The site's entry points look like this:
require 'fcgi' FCGI.each do |req| process req end My startup script:
