Nginx connect() failed error

Question

I don\'t know why I got this error every time I tried to open the page:

2013/04/06 17:52:19 [error] 5040#0: *1 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) whi         


        

Answer 1

I found I had this same issue with PHP7 running in Docker on a Debian Jessie (8.3) instance.

• running command 'ps -aux' showed that php-fpm wasn't running
• running 'php-fpm -D' brought it up as deamonized process.
• Rerunning 'ps -aux' showed that php-fpm was indeed running
• Refreshing my test page showed me the servers PHP info.

Added 'php-fpm -D' to my start.sh script so that things started every time the container is loaded.

Hope this helps someone.
