nginx - Rails application deployed on Elastic Beanstalk with Puma fails - 502 errors on every request

Question

I just deployed a Rails app to Elastic Beanstalk, and every request is giving me a 502 error.

Here's the contents of /var/logs/nginx/error.log

I think puma is running -

[ec2-user@ip-172-31-44-135 nginx]$ ps aux | grep puma
root     23299  1.0  0.2  53008  1428 ?        Ss   16:38   0:00 su -s /bin/bash -c puma -C /opt/elasticbeanstalk/support/conf/pumaconf.rb webapp

ec2-user 23317  0.0  0.1 110284   844 pts/0    S+   16:38   0:00 grep puma

pumaconf.rb

directory '/var/app/current'
threads 8, 32
workers %x(grep -c processor /proc/cpuinfo)
bind 'unix:///var/run/puma/my_app.sock'
stdout_redirect '/var/log/puma/puma.log', '/var/log/puma/puma.log', true
daemonize false

Anyone know what's going on?

Answer 1

I faced the same error and adding these two lines to config/puma.rb fixed the problem:

bind "unix:///var/run/puma/my_app.sock"
pidfile "/var/run/puma/my_app.sock"

After this step I faced another error to add ENV values, which is very straight forward.

Hope this helps.
