A 502 Bad Gateway error typically indicates that the Elastic Beanstalk environment's load balancer or proxy server (like Nginx) is unable to connect to the backend application. Since your EC2 instances and environment are showing green health, the issue might be related to configuration or communication between components. please referring below on some insights:
- Application Not Listening on the Correct Port
-
Elastic Beanstalk expects your application to listen on a specific port (usually port 8080 or port 5000, depending on the platform).
-
Check your application’s configuration to ensure it is listening on the correct port. You can set the port in your environment variables:
-
Go to Configuration > Software in the Elastic Beanstalk console.
-
Add or update the PORT environment variable to match your application’s listening port.
- Nginx Configuration Issue
-
If you’re using Nginx as a reverse proxy, ensure that it is correctly forwarding requests to your application.
-
Check the Nginx logs in /var/log/nginx/error.log on your EC2 instance for errors like connection refused or upstream not found.
- Health Check Path
-
Elastic Beanstalk uses a health check path (e.g., /) to determine the health of your application. If this path is not correctly configured or your application does not respond to it, the load balancer might fail.
-
Update the health check path in the Elastic Beanstalk console under Configuration > Load Balancer.
- Dependency or Runtime Errors
-
If your application has missing dependencies or runtime errors, it might fail to start properly. Check the application logs in /var/log/web.stdout.log or /var/log/web.stderr.log for errors.
-
Ensure all required libraries and configurations are included in your deployment package.
- Firewall or Security Group Rules
-
Verify that the security group attached to your EC2 instances allows inbound traffic on the application port (e.g., 8080).
-
Ensure there are no conflicting firewall rules blocking communication between the load balancer and the application.
- Check Siemens Logo Integration
-
If the issue arises only after connecting the Siemens Logo, ensure that the integration does not introduce unexpected behavior or conflicts.
-
Test the application without the Siemens Logo to confirm whether the issue is related to the integration.
- Logs and Debugging
-
Use the Elastic Beanstalk console to download logs from your environment. Focus on:
-
/var/log/nginx/error.log
-
/var/log/web.stdout.log
-
/var/log/web.stderr.log
-
These logs can provide insights into what might be causing the 502 error.

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. Ive been testing and Everything and its fine before i upload LWE (LOGO software) to AWS. I could completely access the web which with no issues before the upload.I checked the ports too and set them to 8080 which didnt do much. Still not getting any errors at all from EC2 or ElasticBeanstalk in the Log section. The only answer i have is an issue with the upload but i have no idea what the problem could be
