Hi,

I have followed the below tutorials to get set up with an Ubuntu 16.04 server running NodeJS, NGINX, and with SSL set up via Let’s Encrypt:

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

All works pretty well in that my own domain now points to my droplet and I can connect under SSL and get to the NGINX Welcome page.

However I have deployed my express app to /home/stuart/<project-name> but I cannot access its home route (’/’). Locally the app runs at port 3000

var port = normalizePort(process.env.PORT || '3000');
app.set('port', port);

In NGINX my sites-available/defaults has a server block

  root /var/www/html;

        # Add index.php to the list if you are using PHP
        index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

        server_name <mydomain> www.<mydomain>; //the actual file has my domain name in

        location / {
                # First attempt to serve request as file, then
                # as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
                try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
        }

My sites-enabled/defaults has a server block

root /var/www/html;

        # Add index.php to the list if you are using PHP
        index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

        server_name <mydomain> www.<mydomain>;

        location / {
                # First attempt to serve request as file, then
                # as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
                try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
        }

Do I need to just clone my express app into /var/www/html and modify the defaults in sites-available and sites-enabled to root /var/www/html/<appname>;?
