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! user www-data; worker_processes 1; error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log; pid /var/run/nginx.pid; events { worker_connections 1024; use epoll; # multi_accept on; } http { keepalive_timeout 65; proxy_read_timeout 200; upstream tornado { server 127.0.0.1:8001; } server { listen 80; server_name www.something.com; location / { error_page 502 = @blank; proxy_pass http://tornado; } location @blank { index index.html; root /web/blank; } } }
