Nginx not serving on the domain

Question

I have installed nginx on a VM (OS: Ubuntu 18). I am following this tutorial but the issue is that I am not able to see the content getting served on your_domain.com. Here's my nginx.conf:

user www-data;
worker_processes auto;
pid /run/nginx.pid;
include /etc/nginx/modules-enabled/*.conf;

events {
        worker_connections 768;
        # multi_accept on;
}

http {
        sendfile on;
        tcp_nopush on;
        tcp_nodelay on;
        keepalive_timeout 65;
        types_hash_max_size 2048;
        # server_tokens off;

        # server_names_hash_bucket_size 64;
        # server_name_in_redirect off;

        include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
        default_type application/octet-stream;

        ##
        # SSL Settings
        ##

        ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2; # Dropping SSLv3, ref: POODLE
        ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;

        ##
        # Logging Settings
        ##

        access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
        error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;

        ##
        # Gzip Settings
        ##

        gzip on;

        # gzip_vary on;
        # gzip_proxied any;
        # gzip_comp_level 6;
        # gzip_buffers 16 8k;
        # gzip_http_version 1.1;
        # gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;

        ##
        # Virtual Host Configs
        ##

        include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
        include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
}


#mail {
#       # See sample authentication script at:
#       # http://wiki.nginx.org/ImapAuthenticateWithApachePhpScript
# 
#       # auth_http localhost/auth.php;
#       # pop3_capabilities "TOP" "USER";
#       # imap_capabilities "IMAP4rev1" "UIDPLUS";
# 
#       server {
#               listen     localhost:110;
#               protocol   pop3;
#               proxy      on;
#       }
# 
#       server {
#               listen     localhost:143;
#               protocol   imap;
#               proxy      on;
#       }
#}

Files in sites-enabled and sites-available directory: default your_domain your_domain (both in sites-enabled and sites-available)

server {
        listen 80;
        listen [::]:80;

        root /var/www/your_domain/html;
        index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

        server_name your_domain.com www.your_domain.com;

        location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
        }
}

index.html file in /var/www/your_domain/html

<html>
    <head>
        <title>Welcome to your_domain!</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>Success!  The your_domain server block is working!</h1>
    </body>
</html>

Lastly, this is my /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 your_domain.com (trying out)
35.188.213.229 your_domain.com (trying out)
10.128.0.48 your_domain.com (trying out)

I am not sure where the issue is because whenever I open your_domain.com, it says the following in chrome browser

This site can't be reached your_domain.com's server IP address could not be found.

I have tried doing traceroute your_domain.com as well:

traceroute: unknown host your_domain.com

Tried nginx in macOS, it works there but I need to set it up in ubuntu VM for my project.

Answer 1

Given that traceroute is unable to resolve host name into ip address, I suppose that problem is caused by your /etc/hosts or some other issues with name resolution process on client side.

Most probably linux resolver library is unhappy with () in lines. Try removing them, keeping statement as clean as possible - eg:

127.0.0.1 your_domain.com

Note - this thing may be cached, so you may also need to restart your browser after making changes.

On MacOS you may even need to flush system-level dns cache:

dscacheutil -flushcache && killall -HUP mDNSResponder
