404 Not Found NGINX Error

When you added the site, did you set the "Root Domain" to the domain name that you wish to use?

Yes. Following my example I put mysite.com as root domain

You mean literally "mysite.com" ? Or is that just so that you don't mention your real domain here?

Assuming that you used your actual domain and have set the A record correctly in the DNS...

I don't know what is causing your IP to be displayed but the Not Found error could be that you haven't actually deployed your App yet. If you have then it might be better to just delete the site in Forge and start over.

Well I just did a fresh installation. And I deploy my app on the default site. So I can access thru www.mysite.com but in the address bar change to the IP address of Linode. How can I change this?

Pd mysite.com it's an example site not the real one

@Archer3CL how did you delete the default? and did you restart NGINX after doing these changes?

but in the address bar change to the IP address of Linode. How can I change this?

@Archer3CL once example.com ( your domain name ) is set to be default in NGINX like so

 listen 80 default_server;
 listen [::]:80 default_server;
 server_name example.com www.example.com;
 root /home/forge/example.com/html;

The servers IP will point to this site's directory. Hope that helped!

I would recommend that you delete the default site in Forge before adding anything, otherwise you'll hit problems if you need to add other sites to the same server.

@sitesense are you assuming @Archer3CL is managing the server from Forge interface?

@mehany I am, is that not the case?

I think @Archer3CL needs to answer that!

Hi, sorry for late answer.

I just did what @sitesense told me, i just delete the site on forge and did the changes.

@mehany Yes, im managing the server from Forge interface.

I dont know what happened. But after a while the site was up and running with the correct address name.

So i think this can be closed. Thanks for your help

update outbound traffic to All

Apparently, forge doesn't generate the nginx.conf for your IP.

Need to change

listen 80;
listen [::]:80;

To

listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;

in your /etc/sites-available/yourdomain.com
