Running Ghost on port 80 through NGINX (localhost)

Question

I'm working on localhost and Windows OS. NGINX run on port 80 and Node.js app(Ghost) run on port 2368.

I want to use NGINX as front web server for Ghost app. So in nginx.conf file I wrote:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name localghost;
    # change above to example.com in production mode
    location / {
        proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header   Host      $http_host;
        proxy_pass         http://127.0.0.1:2368;
    }
}

NGINX directory is C:\nginx, Ghost directory is C:\nginx\www\ghost.

http://localghost address is not opening Ghost app. How can i do that?

You should define where exactly "localghost" goes. You will need to edit your Windows hosts file so it goes to 127.0.0.1. — Andrius, Nov 07 '15 at 11:00

Does localghost resolve to anything?

If you are testing on your development machine, then I would suggest to just use localhost and be done with it.
