Following this tutorial : https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-nginx-on-ubuntu-16-04

However, when i try to access the server using browser http://ip_address i get no default nginx landing page(as mentioned in the post). I only see cannot GET \ and 404 not found in network window.
What could be the issue here?

We had the issue, that we used the DO firewall and needed to add a rule “HTTP” on both inbound and outbound - after adding HTTP rules it worked. Before we also forgot through using Putty to select our new username instead of root via Putty>Connection>Data>Auto-login name. That got us some errors.
