@lkdev

Make sure php-fpm is already running on the background...

Then, change your listen 80; to listen 127.0.0.1; .

@ciaompe said in Nginx: connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream:

Simply, open the following path to your php5-fpm (if you php 7 then open php 7 fpm)

Php 5

sudo nano /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf

Php 7

sudo nano /etc/php/7.2/fpm/pool.d/www.conf

Then find this line and uncomment it:

listen.allowed_clients = 127.0.0.1

Also comment below line

Php 5

;listen = /var/run/php5-fpm.sock

Php 7

;listen = /run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock

and add

listen = 9000

after you make the modifications, all you need to restart or reload both Nginx and Php fpm

Php 5

sudo service php5-fpm restart

Php 7

sudo service php7.2-fpm restart

Nginx

sudo service nginx restart

Guys this works. thanks aganin and lankadevelopers thank you very much

Anytime mate xD
