Cannot serve any host files about server-configs-nginx HOT 5 CLOSED

Explain exactly what did you do because you didn't supposed to "move" anything anywhere, just merge config sections you actually need.

from server-configs-nginx.

When you run netstat -tap from a shell, do you see listening ports for 80/443? If not then it's nothing to do with a firewall, but the fact the hosts are not listening at all.

Thanks for the reply! I cloned the h5bp server config repository via " git clone [email protected]:h5bp/server-configs-nginx.git /etc/nginx "
So rather than use the nginx directory that was already present during my initial installation of nginx, I moved it and replaced it with the contents of the h5bp server config repository. Are you suggesting I merge the two directories, and replace any default files with the ones that come with the h5bp repository?

Thanks for the reply! The server does not listen to either ports 80 or 443. An "nmap localhost" confirmed the netstat -tap results, which is that despite there being a proper host file, the server did not listen on either port. I've tried many host files, and no matter how simple, none have worked using the method of installation I outlined above. I will try merging both nginx directories.

What am I doing wrong?

Well, it seems obvious that nginx isn't starting. Step 0 when debugging anything is to look at the log output e.g.:

root@vagrant:/etc/nginx/sites-enabled# /etc/init.d/nginx reload
 * Reloading nginx configuration nginx                                                                                                       [fail] 
root@vagrant:/etc/nginx/sites-enabled# nginx -t
nginx: [emerg] unknown directive "del" in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/no-default:2 
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
root@vagrant:/etc/nginx/sites-enabled# 

Closing as this repo isn't intended to be a replacement for nginx docs or a general nginx support mechanism.

Thanks!
