Hi,  
I’m using the Nginx 1.8.0 rpm found on  
[Index of /packages/centos/7/x86\_64/RPMS/](http://nginx.org/packages/centos/7/x86_64/RPMS/) with a config that has  
been working fine so far with Nginx 1.6.x.

The problem is that sometimes I get 500 Internal Server Errors but even  
though have the line “error\_log /var/log/nginx/error.log warn;” in  
nginx.conf I don’t get any log entries. When I restart Nginx I get the  
following in the error log:  
2015/12/09 12:16:45 [alert] 32589#0: \*1662117 open socket #10 left in  
connection 25  
2015/12/09 12:16:45 [alert] 32589#0: \*1662116 open socket #3 left in  
connection 43  
2015/12/09 12:16:45 [alert] 32589#0: aborting

Any ideas what might be going on here? Clearly Nginx can write to the  
log yet for the 500 errors for example it just doesn’t which makes  
finding out what is causing these errors a bit problematic.  
If I can’t find out how to fix this the only option I see is downgrading  
to 1.6.x again.

Regards,  
Dennis
