Unable to create charts on grafana connected to graphite

Question

I installed graphite and it is updating with data. I also installed and configured grafana to use graphite.

When I attempt to create, charts on grafana, I get "Time series request error".

I have grafana an graphite on the same server. Is this related to Cors. I am not familiar with configuring cors etc.

How would I fix this issue?

This is my nginx.conf file:

worker_processes  1;

events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}


http {
    include       mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;

    #log_format  main  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
    #                  '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
    #                  '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';

    #access_log  logs/access.log  main;

    sendfile        on;
    #tcp_nopush     on;

    #keepalive_timeout  0;
    keepalive_timeout  65;

    #gzip  on;

CORS is not required if you make Nginx proxy_pass. Follow my recommendation to setup Grafana with Nginx https://github.com/mikhailov/grafana/blob/master/sample/nginx_testing.conf
