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

I am also getting same kind of error after trying to restart Nginx
nginx -t nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok nginx: [emerg] mkdir() “/var/lib/nginx/body” failed (2: No such file or directory) nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
It looks the firewall was wrongly turned off by somebody else, And nginx seems NOT starting correctly?
root@ubuntu:/etc/nginx# nginx -t -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
nginx: [emerg] open() "/etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf" failed (2: No such file or directory) in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/dlppico.com:18
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
is it possible to just use the droplet ip address for server_name in nginx? I dotn have the Domain yet,
so far I tested my app and its not working from outside world.
