Thank you in advance!

Hi there,
This sounds like there might be a problem with the Nginx configuration.
I could suggest using the Nginx configuration from this tutorial here:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-a-node-js-application-for-production-on-ubuntu-16-04
If this still does not work, I would suggest chacking your Nginx error log for some more information and also possibly sharing your Nginx configuration here.
Regards, Bobby
