Question
Website not working (ssh & ping does work)
- Posted on April 25, 2018
- Nginx
Asked by sjraaijmakers
Today I set up my site (via this tutorial). At first it was working, but now when I browse to my wesite it doesn’t work anymore.
However, I am able to connect to the IP address (or via the domain), and I can ping to it. Also I know that my node.js is running and so is my NginX, because when I curl at localhost:8080 via ssh I get the proper response.

Your backend server doesn’t seem to be sending any data. Try curl -I http://localhost:8080 or opening the same in a browser. If you need help then just ping me at
shivanand at converticacommerce dot comThis verifies that the server is working fine. Now your app needs to send some actual data that the browser can render such as an html markup / xml / json etc.
aha. Works like a charm. Now can you do the same but use the actual IP or fqdn from your machine?
