Can't get Meteor app deployed on Ubuntu (Nginx issue)

deployment
1

I can’t get meteor app deployed on my VPS (It’s new VPS with fresh Ubuntu installation).

I followed well this tutorial:

From A to Z.

But when i test my application i get:


    502 Bad Gateway.

I check status of:


    service nginx status
    status mongodb

It’s ok, but:

status myapp

Return: myapp stop/waiting

Checked the logs:

/home/myapp/myapp.log

There nothing.

Same as mongodb logs.

But found this on nginx logs:


    2018/03/02 01:08:19 [error] 2651#0: *1 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: XX.XX.XX.XX, server: 185.12.85.65, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://127.0.0.1:8080/", host: "185.12.85.65"

Nginx location:


    # pass all requests to Meteor
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000;
        #proxy_pass http://0.0.0.0:8080;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; # allow websockets
        proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; # preserve client IP
    
        # this setting allows the browser to cache the application in a way compatible with Meteor
        # on every applicaiton update the name of CSS and JS file is different, so they can be cache infinitely (here: 30 days)
        # the root path (/) MUST NOT be cached
        if ($uri != '/') {
            expires 30d;
        }
    }

I noticied that port 3000 not opened.

Any one encountred this problem before ? Any fix please ?

if the port 3000 is not opened and you configured the meteor app run with that port, then your meteor app is not running.

What happens when you run the commands in your startup script manually?

Your meteor app is not running. Try:

sudo start appName

and see what happens.

I’m not sure if you need the sudo part.
