The nginx make proxy server…

Some time was ok,some time :  
[error] 18528#0: \*50881 recv() failed (104: Connection reset by peer)  
while  
reading response header from upstream, client: 222.178.73.129, server:  
[oa.owenschool.com](http://oa.owenschool.com), request: “GET / HTTP/1.1”, upstream:  
“[http://10.2.4.33:80/](http://10.2.4.33:80/)”, host: “[oa.owens.com.cn](http://oa.owens.com.cn)”

Why? But some time is ok, some time is error…

The proxy config file:

server {  
listen 80;  
server\_name [oa.owens.com.cn](http://oa.owens.com.cn);  
location / {  
root html;  
index index.html index.htm;  
proxy\_pass [http://10.2.4.11](http://10.2.4.11);  
proxy\_set\_header Host $host;  
proxy\_set\_header X-Real-IP $remote\_addr;  
proxy\_set\_header X-Forwarded-For  
$proxy\_add\_x\_forwarded\_for;  
proxy\_set\_header Accept-Encoding “”;  
proxy\_connect\_timeout 60;  
proxy\_send\_timeout 60;  
proxy\_read\_timeout 60;  
proxy\_buffer\_size 512k;  
proxy\_buffers 8 512k;  
proxy\_busy\_buffers\_size 512k;  
}

```
    location = /50x.html {
        root html;
    }

}

```

You have to check what goes on on your backend server to find out  
why it resets the connection.
