Hey Everyone:

I use Nginx with Perl and Memcache, but not sure how to redirect if BOTH  
Perl and Memcached give me a 502… Memcached passes a 502 to the PERL  
script, which if error “should” go to the 502 error page, but it  
doesn’t, with or without the “error\_page” directive in the @fallback.

Sorry if I’m missing something, but is a double-error redirect possible?

As an example, the following results in Nginx’s default error page:

location ~ ^/search/.\* {

```
default_type text/html;
add_header "Content" "text/html; charset=utf8";
charset utf-8;
set $memcached_key $request_uri;
memcached_pass 127.0.0.1:11211;
error_page 404 502 = @fallback;

```

}

location @fallback {

```
gzip off;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/nginx/perl_cgi-dispatch.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /some/path/to/cgi-bin/search.pl;
include fastcgi_params;

error_page 404 502 = /some/path/to/error.html;

```

}

error\_page 502 /some/path/to/error.html;
