Error while creating Virtual Host on Nginx

Posted January 18, 2016
Nginx Deployment Ghost Ubuntu

Hi,

I am currently creating new virtual host on my droplet which is already installed Ghost (blog) via DigitalOcean’s Ghost Application. I tried to set up virtual host using this guide, but it is not working correctly.

My root directory is under var/www . New config for sites-available is as below:

server {
        listen 80; ## listen for ipv4; this line is default and implied
        #listen [::]:80 default ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6

        root /var/www/test;
        index index.html index.htm;

        # Make site accessible from http://localhost/
        server_name arkaraung.me;
}

And also added new domain in /etc/hosts file. (let say my ip is 111.111.111.111)

111.111.111.1111 arkaraung.me

Please let me know if there is something wrong with my doing. And also please tell me what should I do. Thanks

If you want to debug something you ALWAYS want to check your logs. There is usefull information inside here most of the time. Please post the nginx error log.

/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/arkaraung.me:        listen 80; ## listen for ipv4; this line is default and implied
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/arkaraung.me:        #listen [::]:80 default ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ghost:    listen 80 default_server;
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ghost:    listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;

Allright, please give the output of:

grep -r listen /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*

    listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;

    server_name khay.me; # Replace with your domain

    root /usr/share/nginx/html;
    index index.html index.htm;

    client_max_body_size 10G;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:2368;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_buffering off;
    }
}

so you have to checck whether the apache service is running on your pc then sudo service apache2 stop sudo service nginx restart because in apache we have given the same http address 80 and also in nginx is given address 80 so that it telll like that
