I am trying to set up a test site for myself. Everything works fine except phpMyAdmin. php installation loads my test site scripts, they work fine, however trying to load phpMyAdmin i get 502 Bad Gateway error. Judging from logs (that are not too helpful) it seems that php-fpm worker is crashing each time phpmyadmin is being accessed. No clue how or why.. Does anyone have any idea? nginx log: *3 recv() failed (104: Connection reset by peer) while reading response header from upstream, And php-fpm log: [07-Jun-2012 14:19:51] WARNING: [pool www] child 32179 exited on signal 11 (SIGSEGV) after 3.217902 seconds from start [07-Jun-2012 14:19:51] NOTICE: [pool www] child 32351 started My nginx conf: user nginx; worker_processes 1; error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log; pid /var/run/nginx.pid; events { worker_connections 1024; } http { include /etc/nginx/mime.types; default_type application/octet-stream; log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" ' '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" ' '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"'; access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log main; sendfile on; keepalive_timeout 65; fastcgi_buffers 8 16k; fastcgi_buffer_size 32k; include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf; server { listen 443 ssl; listen 80; server_name testsite.net www.testsite.net; ssl on; ssl_certificate /var/www/html/admin/ssl/certificate.pem; ssl_certificate_key /var/www/html/admin/ssl/privatekey.pem; ssl_session_timeout 1m; ssl_protocols SSLv2 SSLv3 TLSv1; ssl_ciphers HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5:!kEDH; ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on; access_log off; location ~ \.php$ { root /var/www/html; fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; } location / { root /var/www/html; index index.php; } } } php.ini is standard, with cgi.fix_pathinfo=0 php-fpm.conf: include=/etc/php-fpm.d/*.conf [global] pid = /var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.pid error_log = /var/log/php-fpm/error.log log_level = notice php-fpm.d/www.conf: [www] listen = 127.0.0.1:9000 listen.allowed_clients = 127.0.0.1 user = nginx group = nginx pm = dynamic pm.max_children = 10 pm.start_servers = 1 pm.min_spare_servers = 1 pm.max_spare_servers = 10 slowlog = /var/log/php-fpm/www-slow.log php_flag[display_errors] = on php_admin_value[error_log] = /var/log/php-fpm/www-error.log php_admin_flag[log_errors] = on
