I am trying to set up a webpage for my wife, my problem is basically when I run curl from my local machine (curl codingdiva.com) “Failed to connect to codingdiva.com port 80: Connection refused”. I can successfully curl when I ssh into the machine and get my index page: curl codingdiva.com <html> <head> <title>Coding Diva Test</title> </head>
<body>
<h1>Coding Diva test</h1>
</body>
</html>
After spending the entire weekend trying various things, I uninstalled and re-installed. I have now seen nearly every tutorial on youtube for this :-). And, without fail, they install nginx, pop their IP address into the browser, and get the friendly nginx page. I do not. I get “The site cannot be reached”.
Here is my netstat result:
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 21712/nginx -g daem
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 13009/sshd
tcp6 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN 21712/nginx -g daem
tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 13009/sshd
Can someone suggest what step i have missed? Thanks! Joe

Hello ,
If the domain codingdiva.com is pointing to correct IP address then I can see that the port 80 is not open on your Droplet.
This is from my practice droplet
root@Docker-practice:~# nmap codingdiva.com
Starting Nmap 7.01 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2017-11-06 04:41 UTC Nmap scan report for codingdiva.com (138.197.200.213) Host is up (0.068s latency). Not shown: 999 closed ports PORT STATE SERVICE 22/tcp open ssh
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 2.33 seconds
Are you using any firewall settings on droplet or externally.
Also can you show the nginx.conf and the vhost entry for the domain
