Hi there, I had a ruby on rails application running just fine on my droplet, rebooted the server with a reboot now command (in console), and now that it’s back up. It’s going to This file is located in /home/rails/app/views/home/index.html.erb, and not the virtual host path. Any help would please be apprecitated… and fast. Thanks
Was just looking at there, here’s what’s running
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:8080 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 833/unicorn.conf -E
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 776/nginx: worker p
I stopped apache and tried to restart, now I get this
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
(13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
It looks like Nginx is already bound to port 80. Run:
service nginx stop
service apache2 start
You can also stop nginx from starting at boot by running:
sudo update-rc.d -f nginx remove
Andrew’s response was right in my ordeal, but Kamal helped me see what was going on initially.
For those of you who get this in the future. What append was, after I rebooted the droplet, the service nginx (in my case) took over port 80, which is my default port for apache. I’ve seen posting about killing whatever service on that port to kick out whatever took your port # or to config a new port # for your vitual hosts. All it took in my case, was stopping the nginx service, and then starting up apache. BOOB… DONE. Thanks for your help everybody.
This is awesome.
Basically digitalocean automigrated my droplet when they upgraded it. All my sites suddenly had the ‘Welcome to Nginx’ default message. Wtf....
Anyways, after an hour of googling and experimenting, I came upon this thread which solved everything.
My question is, why does auto-migrating a droplet make Nginx the default webserver listening on port 80???? Thats a serious fail on digitaloceans part, no?
nothing has changed in my apache config that was working. My site is at /var/www/sites/yadayada
Here’s what I get when I restart the service
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName

The Apache error log may have more information.
That means there is something listening on port 80. You can find out what program is using the port by running:
