13: Permission denied in nginx log files when connecting to flex.bi service as proxy
Problem
After installing nginx web server on CentOS or RedHat as a web proxy for flex.bi service you get an error in nginx log files:
*1 connect() to 127.0.0.1:8080 failed (13: Permission denied) while connecting to upstream
Solution
This is related to SELinux functionality and can be fixed by running this command:
setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1
