I take I need to change this line to my application folder. Is that right?
nano /home/unicorn/unicorn.conf
listen “127.0.0.1:8080” worker_processes 2 user “rails”
working_directory “/home/rails”
pid “/home/unicorn/pids/unicorn.pid” stderr_path “/home/unicorn/log/unicorn.log” stdout_path “/home/unicorn/log/unicorn.log”
listen “127.0.0.1:8080” worker_processes 2 user “rails”
working_directory “/home/rails/myfirstapp”
pid “/home/unicorn/pids/unicorn.pid” stderr_path “/home/unicorn/log/unicorn.log” stdout_path “/home/unicorn/log/unicorn.log”
*Then I went to
http://112.0.0.1:8080
But the page was blank?*
Are you saying that you are trying to view 127.0.0.1:8080 in your browser? If that’s the case, you probably won’t see anything, because you are trying to view a web page on your own machine. (See my other comment regarding 127.0.0.1/loopback address.)
Your Unicorn server should be listening on 127.0.0.1:8080. Once configuration is done and the application is running, view the site using your droplet’s IP address. You should see what you’re expecting to see, assuming that the Nginx proxy is configured correctly.
For future reference, publishing 127.0.0.1 is not a security risk. 127.0.0.1 is known as the loopback address, and is essentially just a self-referencing IP address. It is frequently used when communicating with another service on the same droplet, which is what is going on here - Nginx receives a external request on port 80 (the standard HTTP port) and sends that request on to Unicorn internally using port 8080.
