Unable to continue fresh install - http://SERVER_IP/install.php giving 502 Bad Gateway

Help
1

Hello, I did fresh instal according to official guide - RHEL / CentOS 7 - Nginx - LibreNMS Docs, and I’m getting “502 Bad Gateway” while browsing http://SERVER_IP/ or http://SERVER_IP/install.php.

When I ran ./validate.php first time, I got “config.php does not exist, please copy config.php.default to config.php”. This was resolved by cp config.php.default config.php and then adding username/pass into ### Database config section of config.php.

I have ended up with this:

-bash-4.2$ ./validate.php

and after “./lnms migrate” with this:

I have tried install this from scrath several times with no luck (same result) :confused:

Instead of ip try hostname?

Hi Kevin,
I have tried several things as “server_name” - hostname with and without domain, server IP, … - none of it changed anything. After each change I did restart php-fpm, mariadb, nginx.

Hello,

Eventually I was able to resolve this! There were 2 errors in my config, both related to /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf:

  1. I did forget to uncomment (my bad, stupid):
listen.owner = nginx
listen.group = nginx
listen.mode = 0660
  1. Path “listen = /run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock” was missing “/var/” in front of “/run/”. This is maybe something that has changed since the official install guide (CentOS 7 / nginx) was written.

In order to continue with configuration, I also had to delete config.php so I could add librenms user (maybe I could also used workaround Kevin suggested in different thread - "php adduser.php 10 ")
