[ome-users] Nginx 502 Bad Gateway

Hi Chris,

I started it as root, via "service nginx start".

Yes:
[omero at lmu-omero2 ~]$ netstat -ntlp |grep 4080
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info
  will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:4080                0.0.0.0:* 
     LISTEN      31592/python

No, just "Application Starting...".

No.
[root at lmu-omero2 nginx]# sestatus
SELinux status:                 disabled

Ok. I noticed now also the example in "omero web -h", that looks like a 
separate instance.

Ok, I can try this as well, see which one the other admins like better.

But the process that is listening at port 4080 should be omero web, 
right? What does "omero web status" check, maybe it's just the check 
that is going wrong?

Thanks,
Harri
