Web won't come up in the browser, the server comes up, apache runs

Hello,

I can telnet into my droplet and see my files and it looks ok, but website not coming up in browser. The droplet is about 3 years old and has been working fine for the most part. I have 3 other droplets created about the same time with the same software. 2 are working and one is not. I opened a ticket and basically their response is,

curl -ILk xxxxxxxxxx.com HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden Date: Fri, 17 Sep 2021 03:49:23 GMT Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 146 Connection: keep-alive Server: nginx Vary: Accept-Encoding

Generally, the error that you are seeing will be caused by incorrect permissions to a resource. The 403 response code is caused by incorrect permissions, whether it be authorizations or file permissions.

The first step in troubleshooting this error is to ensure the file exists inside your website’s webroot on the server. The webroot is generally located somewhere within /var/www , however, you can also check where it is inside the configuration file located at /etc/nginx/sites-enabled or /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

Once you have verified that the file/directory exists, you will need to check the permissions. If you have a standard nginx installation then the service will be run as a www-data user so you will need to ensure that the file can be accessed by that user. This is usually done by simply changing the group of resources to www-data

The files are there with the correct permissions. Other commands I have tried,

ps -aux systemctl status apache2 tail -F /var/log/apache2/error.log there are errors, but apache is up and running

grep -i kill /var/log/syslog

/usr/sbin/apache2 AH00111: Config variable ${APACHEPIDFILE} is not defined

apache2ctl configtest Syntax OK
