How we fix HTTP 502 – unable to connect to origin server Sucuri

At Bobcares, where we have more than a decade of expertise in managing servers, we see many customers face this error.

Recently, one of the customers approached us with the error. Upon checking, we could trace that the server is blocking Sucuri Firewall IP addresses. Now, let’s now see how our Support Engineers fix it.

Here the customer uses the iptables firewall, and we added the IP addresses to iptables firewall.

The Sucuri Firewall IP addresses, which has been whitelisted:

http 502 - unable to connect to origin server sucuri

This fixed the problem.

 

Nginx configuration

Another customer having Nginx web server encountered the same problem. On checking, we saw that the user was getting the Nginx gateway error.

While fetching the entry of the website from Nginx, caused a connection problem. The website entry in the Nginx configuration file was missing.

The problem was that the site was going via Sucuri and puts Nginx into a loop of lookups.

1. To avoid this we have added the following to  /etc/nginx/custom_rules.

if ($host ~ “<your domain name>”) {

set $PROXY_DOMAIN_OR_IP “<your servers ip address>”;

}

This says that the Nginx site can be found at this IP address.

2. Then we have also added the website entry to the file/etc/nginx/custom_local.

3. After that, we used the below command to check whether the entry is properly configured.

nginx -t

4. Finally, we restarted the Nginx server.

service nginx restart

This had resolved the error.
