Hi there,

I’m using nginx on my arm5 to run a seafile-server and ran into a couple  
of  
problems just now. when I open a page that embeds a picture from a  
certain  
folder the picture won’t show. When I copy the pictures url and open  
that  
url manually, I get the error:  
"An error occurred.

Sorry, the page you are looking for is currently unavailable.  
Please try again later  
…"  
As I’ve understood, thats a fallback-template for all server-related  
errors.  
But when I open the error.log, it shows me nothing. Only a notice, that  
some  
pid has been created or similar.  
I haven’t set a specifc path to a log-file in the nginx.conf, so it  
should  
log to the default location, which in my case is  
/var/log/nginx/error.log,  
and it used to do that back when I had some 403 permission errors with  
wrong ownership of files. so it’s not the configurations fault. It seems  
that it’s just that particular kind of error that doesn’t get properly  
logged.

The access.log in that same folder gets filled with access logs, upon  
opening the image it responds with 502.

Any help on how I could debug this further?

thank you
