Proxy and error 502 question

[markusvl]

Hi all,

we have installed zimbra 5.0.9 as a multi server installation (2 x Proxy, 1 MTA In, 1 MTA Out, 2 x Mailbox and 1 master LDAP and 1 replica LDAP).

We are working on that installation and found out that if we shut down one Mailbox server we get often a 502 error when we try to reach our log in page.
The reason for that 502 is a GET request from the nginx to the shut down Mailbox server trying to download the /zimba/. So to prevent that 502 errors we are searching for a solution to get the shut down mailbox server out of the ngix configuration to let the nginx server send all requests to the up and running Mailbox server.

Does anybody of you know how we can configure that?

Thanks for your help.

Markus

I am having the same issue. Are there any suggestions about this?

Hi,

you have to re configure your /opt/zimbra/conf/nginx/template/nginx.conf.web.template the section

upstream ${web.upstream.name}
{

Index of /
#http://your.server2.org:8080
#${web.upstream.:servers}
zmauth;
}

And restart nginx before you stop a mailbox server.

You can do it in LDAP as well but I do not know how from top of my head.

Cheers

But remember your mailboxes on the hashed out boxes will be gone.
