502 Bad Gateway errors from Nginx when trying to access Tomcat

[mex]

Hello,


did you followed the atlassian-guide?

>
https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-use-nginx-to-proxy-requests-for-confluence-313459790.html

usually when nginxy says "502" you should trust this.

for debuggging, try 

curl -v http://JIRA_IP:JIRA_PORT/ from the server nginx runs on., to see, if
you have
access to the ressource you configured in proxy_pass



cheers, 

mex
