I'm trying to run Nginx over Apache.

My configuration is that I set Apache to listen to port 8080 instead of 80.

Then I set Nginx to proxy all requests to the same domain over port 8080:

upstream app { server example.com:8080;
}
server { listen 80; server_name example.com; ssl_protocols TLSv1.2; charset utf-8; index index.html index.htm index.php; location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; } location = /robots.txt { access_log off; log_not_found off; } access_log off; error_log /var/log/nginx/example.com-error.log error; location / { proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true; proxy_pass proxy_redirect off; # Handle Web Socket connections proxy_http_version 1.0; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade"; }
}

Then I setup the Apache configuration, which seems to work just fine, cause I can access my site at without problems.

<VirtualHost *> DocumentRoot "/home/forge/example.com" ServerName example.com ServerAlias CustomLog /var/log/httpd/example_com_access.log common ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/example_com_error.log <Directory /home/forge/ Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Require all granted </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

But when trying to go to I get 502 Bad Gateway - nginx/1.8.0.

Any ideas how to fix this?

The reason I need this is that I have one web server which holds a lot of websites using Nginx, but I need some (only some of them) of the sites to run Apache rules instead of Nginx rules.

I am running Ubuntu 14.04.

EDIT: Here is the log from /var/log/nginx/error.log:
