[proxy_http:error] HTTP: failed to make connection to backend: 127.0.0.1

Added by Michael Chinn over 4 years ago

New install on Debian 10.  Used the installation guide here: 
https://docs.openproject.org/installation-and-operations/installation/packaged/#debian-installation

[root@openproject]: ~># openproject run check
[ok] MySQL configuration is working
[ok] Web server is running
[ok] openproject server is running
[ok] openproject background job worker is running
sending test email using sendmail...
[ok] test email sent to root@localhost

when I try to access the site I get a "Service Unavailable".   The log (/var/log/apache2/error.log) shows:

[Tue Sep 01 00:10:36.085016 2020] [core:notice] [pid 578:tid 140251952170112] AH00094: Command line: '/usr/sbin/apache2'

I guess the proxy (on port 6000) is not running??

No proxy (Unicorn) running...

Checking the processes (ps):

$ ps aux

openpro+  6795 96.6 15.4 310832 156664 ?       Rl   02:11   0:13 /opt/openproject/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/bin/unicorn --config-file config/unicorn.rb --host 127.0.0.1 --port 6000 --env production

postgres  6799  1.0  1.7 214900 17576 ?        Ss   02:11   0:00 postgres: 10/main: openproject openproject 127.0.0.1(40818) idle

This shows Unicorn being started on port 6000 but...   It doesn't start?

Help?

Thanks

[SOLVED] Update: (2020-10-01)    I did a fresh install on a robust, stand-alone server (8-core + 16GB RAM).  The install went smoothly.  And the app runs as advertised.  I think running this on a rented VPS leaves much to be desired.
