By default, the errors generated by nginx itself are only handled
by the error_page directive.  If you want to intercept errors from
upstream as well then you need to turn on proxy_intercept_errors.

See the docs: http://nginx.org/r/proxy_intercept_errors

It's always a good idea to provide your full configuration with
a question.
