无法通过Web浏览器访问我的nodejs服务器

Question

Alright, so I setup a node.js server quite a while ago on a AWS EC2 micro server. I was completely new to it and followed various tutorials to get it up and running. It used nginx as a reverse proxy (I believe) and the server was listening on port 8124.

Now, the instance got restarted and I can't for the life of me get access to my server back. I can ssh to it. I can start the server. I can send POST/PUT requests to it through my local command line, but my web browser gives me the 404 nginx page.

This is driving me up the wall - where in the browser/nginx/nodejs chain are things breaking down?

Please help - I'm horribly new at this at it must be a single line somewhere that's broken. I just don't know enough to find it.

My /etc/nginx/sites-enables/default file simply contains

location / {
    proxy_pass      http://127.0.0.1:8124/;
}

Answer 1

Okay I figured it out. I had to go directly into /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and in the server that was there

location / {
        root   /usr/share/nginx/html;
        index  index.html index.htm;
    }

I added the line

            proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8124/;

Oh thank god. That was going to kill me.
