502 Error when following tutorial

Posted November 9, 2019 183 views
Nginx

Hi, I have followed this tutorial exactly: https://medium.com/@mixpeal/simplest-way-to-deploy-reactjs-web-app-to-digital-ocean-to-production-adfb9f1667ed

but I get a 502 error before I’ve even cloned my git to my server. It happened after I edited the ‘location’ bit in ’/etc/nginx/sites-avaliable/default’

Can anyone see where I went wrong? My site is 'harrybilney.co.uk’

Cheers!

Hello, @harrybilney01

I assume you mean that you’ve encountered a 502 error after installing Nginx on your droplet? My suggestion will be to follow one of our tutorials for installing Nginx on Digital Ocean droplet and then continue with the rest of the steps in the tutorial you’ve posted.

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-nginx-on-ubuntu-18-04

(If you’re not using Ubuntu 18.04 you an switch this via the blue drop-down menu and select the distribution that you use)

You can also see the rest of our tutorials about React in our community:

Let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,
Alex
