I have setup a server that uses nginx as a reverse proxy for an express js application.
This is what my nginx config file looks like located at /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
upstream app {
server domainIP:80;
server domainIP:3000;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name domain.com;
location / {
proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_pass http://app;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_read_timeout 150;
}
}
I can access my site and all of its pages with no problems.
However I have a contact form that uses nodemailer to send an email to my personal email with the following set up
var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
service: 'Gmail',
auth: {
user: 'email@gmail.com',
pass: 'myPass'
}
});
router.post('/contact', function(req, res, next) {
// send mail with defined transport object
transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, info){
if(error){
res.status(500);
res.render('index', {title: "Rhys Austin", error: error});
res.end();
return console.log(error);
}
res.status(200);
res.render('index', {title: "Rhys Austin"});
return;
});
});
The mailOptions variable is defined.
Whenever I fill the form on a local setup, the email successful sends and I can see it in my gmail inbox.
However, on the production server the request hangs, which resulted in a 504 time-out error which then changed to a 502 bad gateway error when I added proxy_read_timeout 150 to the nginx configuration.
I think it may be something to do with the nginx configuration, but I cannot figure it out. How can I get my email to successful send on my production server?
