I am a newbie on nginx, what I am trying to do is setup nginx and be able to use it as my webserver.

The issue I am facing now is that when I try to access the IP or domain name that nginx is listening to I get 'The connection has timed out'. On the other hand if I ssh to my server and then do curl or wget on the same IP or domain I get a reply with what it suppose to print.

Basically I can hit nginx locally but not globally. Is there any permissions missing or should I use another user other than nginx in the configuration?

I tried to disable apache server and run nginx and listen to all 80 still same issue exists

My nginx settings is as follows :

Chances are that you are accessing it via a wrong URL.

The domain you refer to in your NGINX config resolves to

% dig warstarz.com +short
69.162.77.100

and thus doesn't match the IP address your server is listening on.

NMAP reports an Apache httpd listening on 69.162.77.106:80.

Verify that NGINX is running and listening on the correct IP and Port with ps and netstat.

  • warstarz.com still resolves to 69.162.77.100, so that definitely is a problem. I emulated a request like this: curl -v -H "Host: warstarz.com" http://69.162.77.106, but this gets me a response from Apache. Does nginx actually start?
