Nginx 500-504 errors?

Question

Nginx

Can Nginx return 500-504 errors if it is used without PHP and serves only static (html)?

Answer 1

If nginx is used only for distributing statics, and there are no connections to backends (http, fastcgi), then except for cases with return 500 and possibly some very exotic situations, such as lack of file descriptors, it will not return a 500 error.

Answer 2

Of course it can. At a minimum, you can write in the config what statuses to return.

Answer 3

Maybe.
location / {
# get the hell out of here!
return 500;
}
=)

Answer 4

500 error can be returned if you mess up the config =)
