I have installed nginx on my AMI by yum
sudo yum install nginx
And then, I open all port in my AMI security group
All traffic - All - All - 0.0.0.0/0
And then, I start nginx by command
sudo service nginx start
And then, I access my nginx web service by http://public-ip
but I cannot access by this way.
I try to check the connection in my server.
ssh my_account#my_ip
And then,
wget http://localhost -O-
And It worked fine.
I cannot figure out what is the root cause, and then I change nginx port from 80 to 8081 and I restart the nginx server.
And then, I try to access again. It worked fine. WTH...
http://public-ip:8081
I don't know exactly what is going on?
Could you tell me what is the problem.
I see a few possibilities:
You are blocking the connections with a firewall on the host.
Security Group rules disallow this access
You are in a VPC and have not set up an Internet Gateway or route to host
Your Nginx configurations are set to explicitly listen on host and port combinations such that it responds to "localhost" but not to the public IP or host name. You could post your Nginx configs and be more specific about how it doesn't work when you try remotely. It is timing out? Not resolving? Receiving an HTTP response but not what you expected?

I recently installed Nextcloud over a lamp stack and want to run Traefik in front. For that, I tweaked the apache2 ports.conf to:
Listen: 127.0.0.1:180
. Now I also configured a .toml for Traefik that points to this address.
When I try to open the website, it gives me "Bad Gateway".
Trying to solve the error I searched the Traefik logs and found this:
msg="'502 Bad Gateway' caused by: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:180: connect: connection refused"
Thinking it must be a problem with trusted_proxies I configured Apache to open it's port to the public and also changed the Traefik .toml to see wheter it would work.
It did. That means that Nextcloud definetly accepts my proxy and the proxying works all good.
Problem is, It doesn't work when I configure it on localhost.
The access.log and nextcloud.log show nothing.
Any help?
Many thanks
The solution is simple, but hidden.
Traefik is a Docker container, so normally it can't communicate with services not in the docker network.
The fix is:
ip addr show docker0
Bind Apache2 to this IPv4: (my example) Listen 172.17.0.1:180 and also modify the Traefik Config.
Then Apache2 will listen on the docker0 network which containers have access to.
im having a server running ubuntu with docker.
I have a docker instance running Nginx Proxy Manager to serve my multiple domains.
I want to run a mail server but since Nginx is using port 443 for HTTPS and 80 for HTTP i cant install any docker image's since they make use of both 80 and 443.
Example https://poste.io/doc/getting-started#download its also make use of the same ports.
Any idea how to have a single IP and host both web and mail?
I'm working on a Linux VM on Azure which was set up by someone else (so I don't know all the details). I'm trying to connect it to a domain name.
The server has a "Hello World" program, so when I go to "example.com" I should be seeing "Hello World". Currently I'm just getting
Safari can't open the page "http://example.com" because Safari can't find the server "my domain.com"
I thought I'd start with making sure that the IP address connects to the server (which it did at one point. So I enter the IP address of the server (let's say it's "12.345.678.901") in the browser, and it can't connect... I get the error
Can't open the page "12.345.678.901" because the server where this page is located isn't responding
There's an Inbound port rule to allow connections for port 8080, so I tried "12.345.678.901:8080" but this time got
Can't open the page "12.345.678.901:8080" because Safari can't connect to the server
I don't know what to try next. Presumably something needs to be enabled on the server to allow the browser to connect?
The other inbound port rules are ssh on port 22 (TCP) and then what I assume are the standard Azure ones (I can't edit or delete them anyway).
To view your Linux VM inside the browser, you need to install a web server. Easiest to install and get working straight away is nginx.
First thing you need to do is SSH(port 22) into your VM using the username and IP address of the machine:
ssh username#ipaddress
Which will prompt you to enter a passphrase to gain access to the VM.
This also assumes your SSH public key exists inside ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the VM. If you don't have this setup then you need to get the owner of the VM to copy your public key into this file. Otherwise you won't be able to connect and get a Permission denied (publickey) error.
Assuming the above works, you can install the nginx webserver with the following two commands:
sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get -y install nginx
Then once this web server is installed, add an HTTP inbound port 80 rule inside the network settings. For security reasons, having your web server listen on this port is probably unsecure long term. Its just easier to get working when you choose this port to begin with, because its the default.
You can see what the default listening port by viewing the server configuration host file with cat /etc/nginx/sites-available/default:
#server {
# listen 80;
# listen [::]:80;
#
# server_name example.com;
#
# root /var/www/example.com;
# index index.html;
#
# location / {
# try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
# }
#}
Which shows the default port of 80. You can change this default port to 8080, then run sudo service nginx restart to restart the server and apply the changes. Additionally, you can have a look at this How to make Nginx Server Listen on Multiple Ports tutorial, which goes into more depth on how to configure listening ports for nginx webservers.
You should then be able to view your VM from a browser window(blurred out my IP address for security reasons):
You can also have a look at this Quickstart: Create a Linux virtual machine in the Azure portal tutorial for a step by step on how to get this setup in Azure.
You should first check to see if you have an entry for http://example.com. The reason could be that you do not have a DNS Entry and when you are trying to connect to it via the browser. Since you tried connecting to it via IP and it still did not work, I would suggest you check your Webserver configurations to make sure it is correctly listening for port 8080. Also, ensure that your webserver is also turned on as well. You can tail the webserver log and try to hit it via the IP like you did earlier and see if you see any errors in the logs. It would at least tell you if your request you are making on your browser is actually getting to the webserver.
I have a NodeJs/Express project in Alibaba cloud based Ubuntu server.
When I run project and access with curl localhost:3000 and curl 127.0.0.1:3000 it works!
When I access with IP public, e.g. curl 192.x.x.x:3000 it doesn't work, even though I have edited config in Express project in some code to : server.listen(3000,"0.0.0.0") OR server.listen("3000","192.x.x.x").
FYI I have Apache on this server. When I access on Internet with IP public no problem.
What can I do to solve this problem? Thanks beforehand.
PS: the 192.x.x.x is my IP public and it works access with Apache project
Issue the following command to open port 3000 for TCP traffic.
sudo ufw allow 3000/tcp
You have to configure your security ground and create a inbound rule to allow port 3000. Follow this guideline.
https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/doc-detail/25471.htm
Make sure you allow TCP traffic or all traffic from all sources to the port 3000 as the inbound rule.
The fact that you can access your service locally - but not publicly could mean 2 possible configurations:
The server running your application has blocked the port 3000
You have not configured your server to map the port 80 of a specific route to the port 3000
It is highly possible that a most essential part of your server configuration has not been done.
I'm trying to use nginx to setup a simple node.js server, I'm running the server in background on port 4000, my nginx config file is
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name 52.53.196.173;
location / {
include /etc/nginx/proxy_params;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4000;
}
}
I saved it in /etc/nginx/sites-available and also symlinked it to sites-enabled, the nginx.conf file has the include line already to load files from sites-enabled, then i restarted the service using
sudo service nginx restart
I tried going to 52.53.196.173 and it refuses to connect, however going to 52.53.196.173:4000 with port 4000 it is working, but I'm trying to make it listen on port 80 with nginx, i tried putting my .ml domain as server_name and no luck, and i have the IP 52.53.196.173 as the A record in the domain dns settings, and I'm doing this on an AWS EC2 Instance Ubuntu Server 16.04, i even tried the full ec2 public dns url no luck, any ideas?
Edit: I solved it by moving the file directly in sites-enabled instead of a symlink
There is few possible things. First of all you need to verify that nginx server is running & listening on port 80. you can check the listening ports using the following command.
netstat -tunlp
Then you need to check your server firewall & also the selinux policies. ( OR disable selinux for test )
Then you need to verify that AWS security group configured to access the http/https connections on port 80.
PS : Outputs from the following command & configurations will be helpful for troubleshooting.
netstat -tunlp
sestatus
iptables -L
* AWS Security Group Rules
* Nginx configurations ( including main configuration if changed )
P.S : OP fixed the problem by moving the config file directly into site-enabled directory. maybe, reefer the comments for more info if you are having the same issue.
Most probably port 80 might not be open in your security group or nginx is not running to accept the connections. Please post the nginx status and check the security group
check belows:
in security group, add Http (80) and Https (443) in inbound section with 0.0.0.0 ip as follow:
for 80 :
for 443 :
in Network ACL, allow inbound on http and https. outbound set custom TCP role as follow:
inbound roles:
outbound roles:
assign a elastic ip on ec2 instance, listen to this ip for public.
