Forum: NGINX How to investigate upstream timed out issues?

Hello guys

In my nginx version 1.3.14 I'm having lots of upstream timeouts like 
these
and wonder what's the correct, professional approach is, to solve these:

example:

762#0: *113 upstream timed out (110: Connection timed out) while reading
response header from upstream, client: 58.28.152.233, server: 
videomail.io,
request: "GET /socket.io/socket.io.v0.9.11.js HTTP/1.1", upstream:
"https://127.0.0.1:4443/socket.io/socket.io.v0.9.11.js", host:
"videomail.io"

relevant nginx config:

  location / {
    proxy_cache one;
    try_files $uri @proxy;
  }

  location @proxy {
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;

    proxy_next_upstream error timeout invalid_header http_500 http_502
http_503 http_504 http_404;

    proxy_pass https://127.0.0.1:4443;

    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
  }

what would you do in my case to examine this? imo the default timeout of 
60
seconds is good and i do not want to increase it. it should be able to
deliver socket.io.v0.9.11.js under 60 seconds, so i believe the problem 
is
something else. i just do not know how to investigate this.

any hints very welcome!

are you able to fetch the given ressource from your nginx-server?

e.g. wget https://127.0.0.1:4443/socket.io/socket.io.v0.9.11.js


maybe you have an port-issue (4443 vs 443)

No it works with port 4443 (I have opened it somewhere else) but am 
getting
another wget error message:

> wget https://videomail.io:4443/socket.io/socket.io.v0.9.11.js

It's related to the certificate. No idea what's wrong? How can I examine
this deeper?
