Hello :)
While trying to deploy my app to Digital ocean I did everything according to this tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-deploy-a-local-django-app-to-a-vps.
While Gunicorn is working perfectly and http://95.85.34.87:8001/ opens my app, Nginx, however, does not work, http://95.85.34.87 or http://95.85.34.87/static causes a 502 error.
Nginx log says, that :
2014/04/19 02:43:52 [error] 896#0: *62 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: 78.62.163.9, server: 95.85.34.87, request: “GET / HTTP/1.1”, upstream: “http://127.0.0.1:8001/”, host: “95.85.34.87”
My nginx configuration file looks like this:
server { listen 80 default_server; listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on; server_name 95.85.34.87;
access_log off;
location /static/ {
alias /opt/myenv/static/;
}
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8001;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
add_header P3P 'CP="ALL DSP COR PSAa PSDa OUR NOR ONL UNI COM NAV"';
}
In Django.settings I have ALLOWED_HOSTS setting set to ‘[*]’

I changed the proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8001; line under location / to my servers IP address (instead of loccalhost) and everything worked. I am not sure if it’s good decission or not.
