Nginx no longer starts and doesn't give output

Question

I was using nginx for a uniq app, then I changed it and configured for server blocks (AKA Vhost-in apache), following the steps this tuto shows (see the tutorial)

The server worked (just with service gninx restart ) till I reboot the VPS

NOW NGINX ISNT STARTING AND NO OUTPUT MSG is being shown (tried all the start ways)

What am I missing?

$ /etc/init.d/nginx status returns:

 * nginx is not running

Diggin from my local machine returns

$ dig http://www.xx.com

; <<>> DiG 9.8.1-P1 <<>> http://www.xx.com
;; global options: +cmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

(added on edit) - - - - - - - -- - - - For my other domain

My config:

I've added my domains to /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1       localhost xx
198.199.199.155 www.xx.com
198.199.199.155 xx.com

198.199.199.155 yy.com

Answer 1

You seem to have a problem here:

#server {
    listen   80 default;
    server_name  anything;
    # Everything is a 404
    location / {
        return 404;
    }
}

server is commented out, but the other lines in that set are not.

If you intended on commenting out the entire server block, you'll need to use:

#server {
#    listen   80 default;
#    server_name  anything;
#    # Everything is a 404
#    location / {
#        return 404;
#    }
#}
