install success but no pikrellcam webpage

[jhemberger]

I am installing pikrellcam onto a Raspberry Pi Zero W. Successful installation using default settings, however I am unable to successfully load the pikrellcam webpage. All I see is a 502 bad gateway error. I've tried reinstalling pikrellcam, force reinstalling nginx, and all the other options I could find via web search.

Upon all of that, nginx says it's active and running, and the reinstall of pikrellcam is successful with the following output

pi@remotecam2:~/pikrellcam $ ./install-pikrellcam.sh 

Set the port for the nginx web server.
If you already have a web server configuration using the default
port 80, you should enter an alternate port for PiKrellCam.
Otherwise you can use the default port 80 or an alternate as you wish.
The port number will be set in: /etc/nginx.sites-available/pikrellcam.
Enter web server port: 80

For auto starting at boot, a PiKrellCam start command must be in rc.local.
If you don't start at boot, PiKrellCam can always be started and stopped
from the web page.
Do you want PiKrellCam to be auto started at boot? (yes/no): yes

Enter a password for a web page login for user: pi
Enter a blank entry if you do not want the password login.
Enter password:

This install script does not automatically start pikrellcam.
To start pikrellcam, open a browser page to:
    http://your_pi
and click on the "System" panel and then the "Start PiKrellCam" button.
PiKrellCam can also be run from a Pi terminal for testing purposes.
Automatic pikrellcam starting at boot is enabled.

Pikrellcam is no longer updating because the designer died late 2021.

There are a possible solution in the last posts on this forum https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?p=1965930#p1965930

also here #80

Sorry to hear that! He seems to have been a big figure in the pi world. I edited the install script per #80 and that seems to have worked! Thanks for the redirect on that.
