Connection refused when running `wget http://localhost:5000`, causing 502

Question

I’m running nginx, reverse proxying http://localhost:5000 on the inside (which is an ASP.NET Core server).

When I open my droplet on the outside I get the error 502 Bad Gateway (the nginx page).

So I investigated by running wget http://localhost:5000 thru ssh to see if nginx can connect to my server, but the connection was refused.

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

If you’ll post your server block, I’ll be more than happy to take a look at it for you. I’ll need to see what you have between server { and }.
