Q: What does the following error mean in the log file: "accept() failed (53: Software caused connection abort) while accepting new connection on 0.0.0.0:80"?

 

A: Such errors stem from the connections that the clients managed to close before nginx was able to process them. For instance, this can happen in a situation when the user didn’t wait for a page heavily populated with images to load fully, and clicked on a different link. In this case user’s browser would close all of the prior connections which aren’t longer necessary. It is a non-critical error.
