nginx, and I restarted it to make sure it was up before checking. <br> <br>I will have to retrace my steps for the nginx setup. Not sure what else to do. <br> <br> thanks for your help

Is there a firewall on your end? Try asking a friend to access your droplet on port 80 for example, does it work for them? <br> <br>Is there anything listening on port 80? What’s the output of this command? <br> <br><pre>netstat -plutn | grep :80</pre>

I used an on-line port check utility to see if the port was open, and it said no. I also tried to access the sever thru ssh to specific ports, I also tried to access the server thru port 80 with a browser. All with no luck. <br> <br>I get ":80 command not found’ with the netstat command
