Hi there,
It looks like that your Node.js service is not running on port 3000. Can you verify this with:
netstat -plant | grep 3000
Note that you need to change the proxy port in your Nginx server block to match the port that your Node.js service is listening on.
I’ve answered a similar question on how to troubleshoot this here:

Hope that this helps!
