How do I use a custom 503 error page with Nginx?
- by Michael Gorsuch
Hi. I have implemented rate limiting with Nginx (which works excellently, by the way) and would like to display a custom 503 error page.
I have followed examples on the web without luck.
I am running a simple configuration that looks something like this:
listen x.x.x.x:80
server_name something.com
root /usr/local/www/something.com;
error_page 503 /503.html;
location / {
limit_req zone=default burst=5 nodelay;
proxy_pass http://mybackend;
}
The idea is that our rate limited users would be shown a special page explaining what was going on. The rate limiting is working, but the built-in 503 page is rendering.
Any ideas?
