Hi All,
I have a website that hits by automatic scheduled job every hour from
thousands sources.
last time, my website is down because of thousands CLOSE\_WAIT when I
check
using “netstat -na”
I already try to debug refer to [Lots of CLOSE\_WAIT sockets, nginx+php (WordPress site) - NGINX - Ruby-Forum](http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/204589)
but I don’t know what to do with the debug log.
## when I check the “lsof -p ”: i found a lots of sockets (CLOSE\_WAIT) and file open of my 404.html. i think there’s a problem with my 404 configuration.
## nginx 10500 nobody 357r REG 8,3 141 52396049 /home/j/html/404.html nginx 10500 nobody 359r REG 8,3 141 52396049 /home/j/html/404.html nginx 10500 nobody 360r REG 8,3 141 52396049 /home/j/html/404.html nginx 10500 nobody 362u IPv4 174783995 TCP 70.36.100.46:http-\>[y.net:49333](http://y.net:49333) (CLOSE\_WAIT) nginx 10500 nobody 363r REG 8,3 141 52396049 /home/j/html/404.html nginx 10500 nobody 365u IPv4 174497664 TCP 70.36.100.46:http-\>[y.net:52096](http://y.net:52096) (CLOSE\_WAIT) nginx 10500 nobody 366r REG 8,3 141 52396049 /home/j/html/404.html nginx 10500 nobody 369u IPv4 174905532 TCP 70.36.100.46:http-\>[y.net:50057](http://y.net:50057) (CLOSE\_WAIT) nginx 10500 nobody 370r REG 8,3 141 52396049 /home/j/html/404.html nginx 10500 nobody 371u IPv4 174729756 TCP 70.36.100.46:http-\>[y.net:33731](http://y.net:33731) (CLOSE\_WAIT)
## here is my “nginx -V”

Some questions in mostly random order:
Is nginx still answers requests or it’s stuck completely?
If it’s stuck - where? What nginx workers do? You should be able
to find it out by attaching to them with gdb and asking for
backtrace.
Which event method do you use? It should be logged at ‘notice’
level on nginx startup.
Are you able to reproduce problem? If yes, please try if you
are able to reproduce it without third party modules/patches.

Ok, you swithed on debug log here…

… oops, you swithed it off for the server in question (default
logging level is ‘error’).
If you want to obtain usable debug log you should configure it at
global level and avoid overriding at other levels. Though in this
case I believe gdb will help better.
