Hello,
This is my fist droplet and I’ve followed all the steps for the initial server setup with Ubuntu, how to setup a firewall with ufw, I’ve installed Nginx and it worked. Then I’ve installed MariaDb and started it, everything was ok, and after I’ve installed PHP I’ve followed “Step Four — Configure Nginx to Use our PHP Processor” from here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-nginx-mysql-php-lemp-stack-on-ubuntu-14-04 (although I have Ubuntu 15.04 x64 on my droplet) Did “sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default” and put the same setup it is in their example, but after “sudo service nginx restart” couldn’t restart the Nginx, I’m getting:
myusername@droplet1:~$ sudo service nginx restart
Job for nginx.service failed. See "systemctl status nginx.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
myusername@droplet1:~$ systemctl status nginx.service

Anyone have an idea about what happens?

I leave this here incase someone comes here looking for an answer and they experience the same problem I had.
Check if you have apache2 installed and running by typing service apache2 status
. If it’s running it will prevent nginx from starting since they use the same port. So you can stop apache2 by typing service apache2 stop
, then restart your nginx.
$ service apache2 stop $ service nginx restart
Hello,
In addition to what has already been mentioned, I would recommend following these steps in case that you are having any problems with your nginx server and you are unsure on what the problem is:
systemctl status nginx
If nginx is running you should see something like this:
● nginx.service - The nginx HTTP Server
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/nginx.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (running) since Tue 2019-11-19 09:37:46 UTC; 2 days ago
Docs: https://httpd.nginx.org/docs/2.4/
If nginx is not running then the output would look like this:
● nginx.service - The nginx HTTP Server
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/nginx.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: inactive (dead) since Fri 2019-11-22 08:41:01 UTC; 39s ago
Docs: https://httpd.nginx.org/docs/2.4/
systemctl start nginx
Then check the status agian and make sure that nginx remains running.
systemctl enable nginx
nginx -t
If you get an error, you would need to fix that problem and then you could restart nginx:
systemctl restart nginx
Syntax OK
when running nginx -t
then your confiruation is correct, so I would recommend checking your error logs:tail -f /var/log/nginx/error.log
Find the user that your nginx service is running as:
ps auxf | grep nginx
If you are using Ubuntu, the user should be www-data
, so you would need to make sure that your files and folders are owned by that user, so nginx could read and write to those files:
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/yourdomain.com
netstat -plant | grep '80\|443'
ufw
allows TCP connections on port 80 and 443:ufw status
If this is the case, you can follow the steps from this article here on how to configure your ufw
:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-a-firewall-with-ufw-on-ubuntu-18-04
That is pretty much it, with all of the above information you should be able to narrow down the problem.
For more information I would suggest checking out this article here:

I have this error, still have no idea how to solve it / how you solved it
I took my whole sever down by uncommenting an extra line.
You can only have one of the “fastcgi_pass” not both of them.
