I would like to set max_fails=x on one of my server upstreams.
This is how it looks:
upstream mongrel_upstream {
server 127.0.0.1:5000;
server 127.0.0.1:5001;
server 127.0.0.1:5002;
}
Whenever I add max_fails=2 (or any other option like fail_timeout=0s)
like so:
upstream mongrel_upstream {
server 127.0.0.1:5000 max_fails=2;
server 127.0.0.1:5001;
server 127.0.0.1:5002;
}
I get the following error:
Invalid parameter “max_fails=2” in /etc/nginx/servers/myserver.conf:3
What is strange is that I’ve used max_fails before successfully, and
the config here is virtually identical. Everything else works fine in
the upstream, it is only when adding an option like max_fails or
fail_timeout that we have issues.

Any ideas? I’m using nginx 0.6.32
Upstreams must be defined before use (i.e. before proxy_pass
…), or they are treated as implicitly defined by backend
hostname, and this later results in the error above (since
implicitly defined upstream can’t have max_fails).
Error is a bit misleading, probably someone should dig into the
code and fix it do die early with more appropriate message.
