Because of SSL stalping errors I had to set 

ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
ssl_ciphers 'EECDH+AESGCM:EDH+AESGCM:AES256+EECDH:AES256+EDH';
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
ssl_stapling on;
resolver 127.0.0.1;
ssl_stapling_verify on;

But since then I’ve been hit with this error 

send() failed (111: Connection refused) while resolving, resolver: 127.0.0.1:53

How do I resolve this?

Hi

Had a same fresh error in my nginx error.log

2019/04/16 14:18:49 [error] 16988#0: send() failed (111: Connection refused) while resolving, resolver: 127.0.0.1:53

For me helped below Check first your DNS Nameservers.

My example is for dns resolver godaddy. with:

ns47.domaincontrol.com

ns48.domaincontrol.com

Make an nslookup for these domains and you will get two IP-s. Update your /etc/resolv.conf with given nslookup in domain:

  • search domaincontrol.com
  • nameserver 97.74.103.24
  • nameserver 173.201.71.24

Save file, restart nginx and wait few sec. My error message dissapeared from logs. Hope it helps.

  • On AWS, the problem was resolved when I added the nameserver available in `/etc/resolv.conf` as the first priority (leaving the previously added `8.8.x.x` Google nameservers as secondary/tertiary fallbacks) – Janaka Bandara Mar 31 '21 at 22:30
