I followed the tutorials to setup Nginx and deploy a Node.js/create-react-app. However, there seems to be a problem with my set up that I am unable to figure out. When I navigate to my app at “myapp.com”, it shows the DO hello.js
file. That makes my think that my Nginx configuration is wrong.
I have also set up SSL for my app with Let’s Encrypt. Not sure if that’s pertinent information.
Here is my /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
# SSL configuration
#
# listen 443 ssl default_server;
# listen [::]:443 ssl default_server;
#
# Note: You should disable gzip for SSL traffic.
# See: https://bugs.debian.org/773332
#
# Read up on ssl_ciphers to ensure a secure configuration.
# See: https://bugs.debian.org/765782
#
# Self signed certs generated by the ssl-cert package
# Don't use them in a production server!
#
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 myapp.com www.myapp.com;
location ^~ /assets/ {
gzip_static on;
expires 12h;
add_header Cache-Control public;
}
location / {
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_pass http://4000;
}
}
Here is my /etc/nginx/sites-available/myapp.com
:
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
root /var/www/myapp.com/html;
index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name myapp.com www.myapp.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}
listen [::]:443 ssl ipv6only=on; # managed by Certbot
listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/myapp.com/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/myapp.com/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot
}
server {
if ($host = www.myapp.com) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
if ($host = myapp.com) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name myapp.com www.myapp.com;
return 404; # managed by Certbot
}
Also, my app’s server.js
listens on port 4000.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi there @donnyesq,
As far as I can see your
proxy_pass
rule is not complete, you need to update it from:To:
After that run a config test:
And if you get
Syntax OK
restart Nginx:Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
