Hello, I just came to this old problem : readv() failed (22: Invalid argument) while reading upstream Running nginx 0.8.52 on Solaris10 I have seen a message from 2008 that spoke about that, but it seems that the bug is not yet resolved. Or is there any workaround ? Thanks in advance… f.g. – Frdric Goudal Service Informatique ENSEIRB-MATMECA / IPB Tel : +33 556 84 23 11 Fax: +33 556 37 20 23 ---

The only thread I see in archives is this one (in Russian): > **[solaris readv() error](http://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx-ru/2008-March/016620.html)** There Igor explains that there are two possible causes: 1. (An unknown) bug in nginx. 2. Known problem in Solaris which sets errno to EINVAL (instead of ECONNRESET as others do and POSIX requires) when connection is reset by peer (i.e. your backend). I believe (2) is much more probable (read: check your backend). If you think that cause is (1) you may want to provide more debugging info, see here: > **[GitHub - nginxinc/nginx-wiki: ARCHIVED -- Source for the now archived NGINX Wiki...](https://github.com/nginxinc/nginx-wiki)** > > ARCHIVED -- Source for the now archived NGINX Wiki section of https://www.nginx.com Maxim D. ---

I agree, I have found the same message. The disturbing thing is that, while trying to dig a bit more, the last time I launched nginx, the bug did not appear. I know that Solaris is not a trendy platform… but… I have no other solution. It’s strange that nobody else use that OS 🙂 Well… I guess I have to dig by myself… or is there anybody wanting to help ? Even in trying to correct the bug ? f.g. Le 26 oct. 2010 21:16, Maxim D. a crit : > > I have seen a message from 2008 that spoke about that, but it seems that the > > bug is not yet resolved. > > 1.

I had it on first than removed it on second as I saw it could cause a problem. But than… it seemed I still had the problem. Ok I started over and I did not found the problem again. So maybe an error from me ? Do you know why sendfile on can cause the problem ? f.g. – Frdric Goudal Service Informatique ENSEIRB-MATMECA / IPB Tel : +33 556 84 23 11 Fax: +33 556 37 20 23 ---

I use the NetBSD pkgsrc ports tree; you might want to see their patches directory to see if there’s anything relevant. ## The only thing off the top of my head I can think of… have you set “sendfile on;”? bdha cyberpunk is dead. long live cyberpunk.
