Hello First of all thank you for this forum which I have just joined. I have set up nginx and have it working very well for the past month or so. However I have faced this problem for the second time now. The last time it happened I had to power down and re-start the machine and it was ok. I am running Nginx and PHP-FastCGI connecting to Oracle 10g on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (10.04 LTS) installed on VirtualBox 4.1.6. It works well and like it better than Apache. Except for the two times that it has died on me, I have had no issues. And I think that happened (not sure), when I made a mistake in PHP and tried to browse it. I make tons of mistakes and it is ok all the time – except of course for these two comparatively rare occurences. The error takes the form of a blank white screen with ‘404 Not Found’ in bold across the top. Then there is a dividing line running from left to right and just below that in small font ‘nginx/1.0.10’. Restarting Nginx does not help. Nor does replacing the index.php page with a simple call. Any idea what this is or what I maybe doing wrong? Thank you very much!

… and it happened again. Any clues please? I am very new to Nginx. Thanks!

You didn’t provide any useful debug and configuration information, so how we can help you? Please, show your nginx config and make a debug log of your problem: > **[A debugging log](http://nginx.org/en/docs/debugging_log.html)** As for now, I can make an assumption, that your problem related to a bug in VirtualBox: - [nginx serving old version of CSS file - SOLVED(ish)](http://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx/2011-November/030469.html) - [GitHub - nginxinc/nginx-wiki: ARCHIVED -- Source for the now archived NGINX Wiki section of https://www.nginx.com · GitHub](http://wiki.nginx.org/Pitfalls#Config_Changes_Not_Reflected) wbr, Valentin V.

Hi Valentin Thanks for getting back to me. Can you kindly spell out exactly what you are expecting and where I can find it? Thanks!

Can you clarify some details about where files are stored that nginx serves? On your local machine or in the VirtualBox instance? How nginx has accessed to these files? Through VirtualBox shared folders? When 404 happens again with debug log enabled, probably, we will see some useful information in the error log, but I expect that the problem is just kinda buggy VirtualBox network stack. wbr, Valentin V.

Thanks very much Valentin. I will enable debug information and write with more details, when it happens again. The whole thing is in the VirtualBox machine, there is nothing in the host machine. I have enabled ‘Bridging’ in the VirtualBox machine though, so that I can browse the domain (in the virtual machine) from the host. Thanks again for being so patient. I am kind of new to Nginx and could get all the help I can get. Have a great day and also a wonderful holiday season!

Hi, I’m just wondering what your solution to this problem was? I’m struggling here myself. Many thanks!

Virtual machines and nginx do work but you need to carefully look at the network card you’re using, the intel ones are the best.

I should have mentioned that I cannot replicate this error at will – it happens only very rarely. I will also set up a separate instance with the debug config as shown in the link – but I’d like to know what you would like to see.

I’ve had the same sort of issue yesterday with 1.2.2, all of a sudden 404’s but with a additional ‘No input file specified’ coming from the php backend(and 1 sec later from nginx cache ‘HIT’), one minute later and everything was normal again. No floods, normal traffic, no additional log entries… Only backend effected, normal static sites worked ok. Restarts did not help either which is the weirdest, but then again I did change alot recently like using nginx caching with the php backend, php code RC cacher. And I did wanted to update php anyway to the 5.4 branch, so now updated everything to 5.4, changed a dozen php apps to work properly with 5.4 and now waiting to see if the issue happens again. There are memory corruption issues with php 5.3 which have been fixed in svn but not compiled/released yet, 5.4 does not have these issues so hopefully 5.4 solves this weirdness. It does sound like a php issue (75% sure) but it could be a nginx issue as well like for some reason not passing data to the backend, however it is extremely weird when restarting nginx and the backends the problem persisted ! either wait without restarting or restart 3-4 times before things are back to normal.

Thanks itpp2012. But I’m running nginx on a standalone server with php-fpm and am having exactly the same problem: random 404s after a period of everything working, which only a restart can resolve. I’m pulling my hair out trying to figure this out, and am so close to using apache instead.
