Forum: NGINX upstream fast_cgi no port error

Hi,

  I'm trying out nginx and some of its features. I'm using stable 
version:
nginx/0.8.53 on ubuntu server.

If I try to configure fast_cgi to use an upstream backend as in the 
wiki:

upstream backend  {
  server   localhost:1234;
}

fastcgi_pass   backend;


I get the the error no "port in upstream".

According to changelog this looks the same error as appeared in version 
0.5.0
and fixed in 0.5.1

Is this a regression or have I overlooked something?

You shouldn't need to use an upstream for fast cgi, something like this
would work:

fastcgi_pass localhost:1234;

Yes of course.  However upstream is supposed to work as well and, for me 
at
least, it doesn't seem to.

If somebody could corroborate my observation then I'd feel more 
confident
logging it as a bug.

I have an error as yours, After that I found that my config of upstream 
is
not included. Because I config upstream in a separated file. Please 
check
