Tag: Proxy

I’ve been unable to find exactly this error and without significant experience I’m unable to extrapolate a solution from similar questions that usually infer fastcgi issues that don’t seem to apply here (i’ve tried them anyhow)

I have a server (raspberry pi) running nginx that feeds a local apache server running wordpress and a physically different server on the LAN that runs a different domain/website behind its own nginx, using django, gunicorn and several proxy_pass vhosts.

This week I added an URL to receive pushed REST json messages from an IoT device. I tested the django request using curl and it works as expected, returning the json along with headers etc, the django view is simply:

    @csrf_exempt
    @require_POST
    def tests(request):
        if request.method == 'POST':
            d = request.body.decode('utf-8')
            jsondict = json.loads(d)

I got the code to work once with the IoT data but for the rest of the time it seems to cause an issue between the two servers which appears every 10 minutes in both nginx logs like this:

IoT server : proxy pass to local backend services like gunicorn

    }   

I think I’ve got some kind of infinite loop between the two nginx servers. Can somebody suggest where I might start to debug the fault?
