How do I troubleshoot my Django and Nginx setup?

I'm having issues with my Django app running behind Nginx. What should I check first?

First, ensure that Nginx is correctly configured to pass requests to your Django application. Check your Nginx configuration file for the correct proxy settings.

What specific settings should I look for in the Nginx config?

Look for the location block that handles your Django app. Ensure it has the correct proxy_pass directive pointing to your Django server, usually something like http://127.0.0.1:8000.

I checked that, but I'm still getting a 502 Bad Gateway error. What else could be wrong?

A 502 error often indicates that Nginx can't connect to your Django app. Make sure your Django server is running and listening on the correct port.

How can I check if my Django server is running?

You can check if your Django server is running by using the command ps aux | grep runserver in your terminal. This will show if the server process is active.
