I have a Django site on Nginx/Ubuntu here:

http://128.199.120.162/

I have a domain codego.co with Godaddy that I have already pointed towards the DigitalOcean name servers.

I have followed the DO tutorial for this and have setup the DNS records as follows:

CNAME - www.codego.co
A - 128.199.120.162
NS - ns1.digitalocean.com.
(and then ns2 etc etc)

in my Django sites' settings file I have both the server ip and domain name setup in 'Allowed hosts' and also in the Nginx server block settings and yet Im getting a 400 bad request error at the domain...

any suggestions?

thanks

OK, think I figures it out, it seems my settings.py didnt have the DEBUG = setting in at all, I must have deleted it by accident at one point, never knew it was so critical!

    @easycompany80 Yes it's a pain when you end up in the spam filter, but shouldn't happen again.
    It looks like it's working now - correct? I guess you changed the path of the socket somewhere.

This does not appear to be a DNS problem. The domain www.codego.co is resolving properly to the IP and the service is answering (though it is answering with an error). I would recommend reviewing your web server log files as there is likely more information to work from. If you can also share the configuration you're using it would be helpful in identifying a source of the problem.

thanks for the answers guys, to clarify what I have setup:

Django settings.py allowed hosts:

ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['128.199.120.162', 'codego.co', 'www.codego.co']

Nginx server setup in /etc/nginx/sites-available:

"""

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name 128.199.120.162 codego.co www.codego.co;

    access_log on;

location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location /static/ {
    root /home/david/codegoblog;
}
location /media/ {
    root /home/david/codegoblog;
}

location / {

    include         uwsgi_params;
    uwsgi_pass      unix:/run/uwsgi/codegoblog.sock;
}

}

"""

this is a sample output of Nginx error log:

1.157.96.109, server: 128.199.120.162, request: "GET http://www.so.com/?rands=_160219332017520361821316 HTTP/1.0", upstream: "uwsgi://unix:/run/uwsgi/firstsite.sock:", host: "www.so.com"

as you can see I have uwsgi as well and this is the error log from that:

Thu Feb 16 07:32:03 2017 - received message 0 from emperor
SIGINT/SIGQUIT received...killing workers...
worker 1 buried after 1 seconds
worker 2 buried after 1 seconds
worker 3 buried after 1 seconds
worker 4 buried after 1 seconds
worker 5 buried after 1 seconds
goodbye to uWSGI.
chdir(): No such file or directory [core/uwsgi.c line 1610]
VACUUM: unix socket /var/uwsgi/codego.sock removed.

so there appear to be errors in both the nginx and uwsgi logs but then why is the site running just fine at http://128.199.120.162/ ?
