Nginx - Serve blank page on "Bad Gateway" error
- by TheLittleCheeseburger
Hello all.
I want to use Nginx as a simple reverse proxy, but if the server behind Nginx is down I just was to display a blank page. For some reason this configuration isn't displaying a blank page on error 502 and I can't figure out why.
Thanks for your help!
