I   ve run into this problem too  Another solution is to toggle the SELinux boolean value for httpd network connect to on  Nginx uses the httpd label    setsebool httpd can network connect on   To make the change persist use the -P flag   setsebool httpd can network connect on -P   You can see a list of all available SELinux booleans for httpd using   getsebool -a   grep httpd

Disclaimer Make sure there are no security implications for your use-case before running this  Answer I had a similar issue getting Fedora 20  Nginx  Node js  and Ghost  blog  to work  It turns out my issue was due to SELinux  This should solve the problem  setsebool -P httpd can network connect 1  Details I checked for errors in the SELinux logs  sudo cat  var log audit audit log   grep nginx   grep denied  And found that running the following commands fixed my issue  sudo cat  var log audit audit log   grep nginx   grep denied   audit2allow -M mynginx sudo semodule -i mynginx pp  Option  2  untested  but probably more secure  setsebool -P httpd can network relay 1  https   security stackexchange com questions 152358 difference-between-selinux-booleans-httpd-can-network-relay-and-httpd-can-net References http   blog frag-gustav de 2013 07 21 nginx-selinux-me-mad  https   wiki gentoo org wiki SELinux Tutorials Where to find SELinux permission denial details http   wiki gentoo org wiki SELinux Tutorials Managing network port labels http   www linuxproblems org wiki Selinux

I have solved my problem by running my Nginx as the user I m currently logged in with  mulagala   By default the user as nginx is defined at the very top section of the nginx conf file as seen below   user nginx    Default Nginx user   Change nginx to the name of your current user - here  mulagala   user mulagala    Custom Nginx user  as username of the current logged in user    However  this may not address the actual problem and may actually have casual side effect s    For an effective solution  please refer to Joseph Barbere s solution

Had a similar problem on Centos 7  When I tried to apply the solution prescribed by Sorin  I started moving in cycles  First I had a permission  write  denied  Then when I solved that I had a permission   connectto   denied  Then back again to permission  write   denied   Following  Sid answer above of checking the flags using getsebool -a   grep httpd and toggling them I found that in addition to the httpd can network connect being off  http anon write was also off resulting in permission denied write and permission denied  connectto   type AVC msg audit 1501830505 174 799183   avc    denied    write   for  pid 12144 comm  nginx  name  myroject sock   dev  dm-2  ino 134718735 scontext system u system r httpd t s0  tcontext system u object r default t s0 tclass sock file   Obtained using      sudo cat  var log audit audit log   grep nginx   grep denied  as explained above   So I solved them one at a time  toggling the flags on one at a time   setsebool httpd can network connect on -P   Then running the commands specified by  sorin and  Joseph above  sudo cat  var log audit audit log   grep nginx   grep denied    audit2allow -M mynginx sudo semodule -i mynginx pp   Basically you can check the permissions set on setsebool and correlate that with the error obtained from grepp ing  audit log nginx  denied

Another reason could be  you are accessing your application through nginx using proxy but you did not add gunicorn sock file for proxy with gunicorn  You need to add a proxy file path in nginx configuration  location             include proxy params          proxy pass http   unix  home username myproject gunicorn sock         Here is a nice tutorial with step by step implementation of this https   www digitalocean com community tutorials how-to-set-up-django-with-postgres-nginx-and-gunicorn-on-ubuntu-16-04 configure-nginx-to-proxy-pass-to-gunicorn Note  if you did not created anyname sock file you have to create if first  either use above or any other method or tutorial to create it
