This question has been flagged

Hi everybody! I'm struggling with an 500 HTTP error fired by the polling proccess (used for IM messages) -as far as I can understand, beacuse the polling proccess can't connect to PostgreSQL (but Odoo main process can, though)


Symptom

Everything in Odoo works just fine, except ONLY for the IM: messagges doesn't refresh automatically and Odoo accuses of losing connection and getting it back automatically (sometimes the session even expires).

No IM message is lost: refreshing the webpage shows the latest IM messages.


Enviroment

  • VM witth 4 virtual processors and 16 GB of RAM
  • Ubuntu 20.04
  • Odoo 14 Community Edition
  • NGINX as a reverse proxy

Notes

  • If I undo the polling in the NGINX reverse proxy, the issue persists, but no error is logged.
  • Even though the NGINX error log suggest that the polling process is not connecting to PostgreSQL, Odoo works just perfect (and IM messages arrives -it just doesn't appear automatically).
  • Already tried disabling UFW.
