upstream app_server {
    server unix:/home/urban/urban.new/run/gunicorn.sock 
fail_timeout=0;
}

server {
   listen 80;

# add here the ip address of your server
# or a domain pointing to that ip (like example.com or www.example.com)
   server_name 139.59.36.32;

   keepalive_timeout 5;
   client_max_body_size 4G;

   access_log /home/urban/urban.new/logs/nginx-access.log;
   error_log /home/urban/urban.new/logs/nginx-error.log;

   location /static/ {
       alias /home/urban/lok/templates/style/static/;

# checks for static file, if not found proxy to app

     proxy_redirect off;
      proxy_pass http://app_server;
  }
}

but my ip address is not working.Help me to figure out the problem.

Answer 1

your NGINX vhost config seems OK but you have to change little parameter config:

also you have to correct in your Vhost following line:

server_name  YOURDOMAIN

if dont have a domain then give as placeholder localhost

listen for specific IP with nginx:

listen 139.59.36.32:80 default_server;

see documentation from nginx for more details: nginx.org/en/docs/http/request_processing.html

next correction is that you have to copy /etc/nginx/sites-available/lok to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ or create a symlink then reload nginx:

# ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/lok /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
# service nginx reload

Background: by default nginx loads conf files that stored under sites-enabled/* (if you dont change the nginx.conf)

also you have to look if the default config exits (on installation by default) ls /etc/nginx/conf.d/default

if the default config exits then mv it to other place so that your vhost config takes the control for every request on ip.
