Nginx + Nagios : 502 Bad gateway

Question

I have a fully new install nagios, but I can't access to it.

Here's my Nginx config:

server{
    listen 80;
    server_name  [redacted];

    # blahblah

    # Nagios Monitoring
    location /nagios3/ {
      proxy_pass  http://127.0.0.1:80;
    }
}

Nagios is installed step by step(From this Linode guide):

sudo apt-get install -y nagios3

Then I try to visit http://ip-address/nagios3/, but it shows 502 bad gateway. How do I deal with this ?

This is my /var/log/syslog:

And there're lot of 127.0.0.1 visit in nginx log, but I actually visit from a external ip:

127.0.0.1 - - [25/Oct/2013:14:21:02 +0800] "GET /nagios3/ HTTP/1.0" 502 575 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/3      0.0.1599.69 Safari/537.36"

Configuring Nagios in Apache may be straightforward as mentioned in that Linode article. It isn't the same with Nginx. You may have a look at this sample configuration (https://gist.github.com/mrbichel/1754118) and customize it for your specific use-case. — Pothi Kalimuthu, Oct 25 '13 at 07:10
I can't avoid noticing that you set nginx to listen on port 80, and you're trying to proxy the request to itself at port 80 in the proxy_pass directive. That is the reason your log is showing 127.0.0.1 — AdyR, Oct 26 '13 at 07:13
As AdyR mentioned... it looks like you're very confused. If you don't know how to configure nginx, you should probably stick with the apache2 package, since Nagios ships with conf for it. — Keith, Oct 28 '13 at 15:13

you forgot to start apache: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start

and you should set:

server_tokens off;

in your nginx.conf
