After debugging for 6-hours - I am giving this up :|
We have a nginx+php-fpm+mysql in LAN with almost 100 wordpress (created and used by different designers/developers all working on test wordpres setup)
We are using nginx without any issues from long.
Today, all of a sudden - nginx started returning "504 Gateway Time-out" out of the blue...
I checked nginx error log for a virtual host...

As I run php-fpm on port 9000 via TCP mode, I ran "netstat | grep 9000" and noticed something unusual...
(Pasting partial output here for ease of read)

There are plenty of "CLOSE_WAIT" & "FIN_WAIT2" pairs as highlighted below (in above output):
tcp 1337 0 localhost:9000 localhost:46680 CLOSE_WAIT -
tcp 0 0 localhost:46680 localhost:9000 FIN_WAIT2 -
Please note port 46680 in above.
I enabled mysql slow queries error log, but it didn't work.
As of now restarting php5-fpm every minute via a cronjob (see command below) keeping everything running "smoothly" but I hate patchwork and want to solve this...
1 * * * * service php5-fpm restart > /dev/null
I searched extensively on Google - got no help.
As mentioned, this a test-server in LAN, CPU load is never crossed 0.10 and memory usage is also below 25% (System has 2GB RAM and ubuntu-server installed)
So if you find its time-confusing to help me out, please atleast drop a hint.
Thanks in advance for help.
