Couchdb and Nginx Proxies

[Paul Milner]

Hello there,

further to my issues with couchdb and nginx. I get the following error in
my nginx error log:

2023/06/10 11:55:36 [error] 87270#87270: *115 connect() failed (111:
Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,
server: _, request: "GET /a?limit=1 HTTP/1.1", upstream:
"http://[::1]:5984/a?limit=1",
host: "12.12.12.12"

The request actually always succeeds but I always get this message.

My bind in local.ini and default.ini is:

port = 5984
bind_address = 127.0.0.1;0.0.0.0;::

Would anyone know why please?

Thanks
Paul

You likely have 127.0.0.1 denoted as localhost in nginx config. Make it
127.0.0.1 back, it will disable IPv6 connection upstream.

If couch itself is working fine (eg test via curl on the server) then this
sounds a lot purely nginx config, not couch.

With that said if you post more of your config and more info I can try to
help.

Thanks both for the info

I played around with the bind address and found that it had different
effects. I couldn't get it to work with multiple ips (i tried with , and ;
and got various errors depending on spacing), so settled for ::1 which then
gave me an upstream error against 127.0.0.1, so i added a listen on
127.0.0.1 that pointed to localhost in nginx and it has now stopped the
errors. I don't know how efficient that is but it seems to work.

curl works against 127.0.0.1:5984, localhost:5984 and [::1]:5984 so i think
i'm well covered.

Thanks again
Paul
