Nginx not re-directing to host

wirestyle22

Following @JaredBusch's guide here: https://mangolassi.it/topic/16651/install-nginx-as-a-reverse-proxy-on-fedora-27

Port Forwading (For Testing) -- This is forwarding to my Nginx VM.

Google Domains DNS Settings:

nc.skynetli.com

#contents of /etc/nginx/conf.d/nc.skynetli.com.conf

All .conf files should be read as per the nginx.conf file. Specifically this:

I'm sure there is some detail I am not seeing as to why the nginx server is not re-directing to the nextcloud server. Any help is greatly appreciated.

@wirestyle22 remove the comment in front of ssl stapling and then nginx -t. That should break it and let you see an error related to the conf file.

Assuming it does, then you know the file is being parsed

wirestyle22

@jaredbusch

No error

[root@nginx conf.d]# nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

Your conf.d folder is not being parsed.

Why would be a really good question.

wirestyle22

@jaredbusch Yeah but why? In my nginx.conf file it includes /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;.

Could a Syntax problem cause this?

Did you install new, or is this the same system you had problems with before?

wirestyle22

@jaredbusch New Fedora 27 Minimal but exact same issue. Has to be me.

JaredBusch

@wirestyle22 So how did you configure Fedora?

Take it back to the stupid level to find what you are doing different.

Here are the screens for Fedora 25.

@jaredbusch My installation is identical with the exception of guest agents. I can't imagine that would affect whether or not a .conf file was read though. This would all be self-contained, no?

Should be of course. Your experience is abnormal. I set this up 3 times last night wile making these instructions.

Either your config messed up somewhere or SELinux is interfering.

It should error if there a syntax problem though right? It should be reading any .conf in conf.d.

sudo tail -5 /var/log/nginx/error.log

@wirestyle22 ok, so your proxy cannot talk to your backend server is seems.

So a networking issue.

Can you ping 192.168.1.202 from your proxy?
Can you SSH into it from your proxy?

wirestyle22

@jaredbusch I can do both

I am seeing a 502 bad gateway on your link. Which obviously point to that upstream issue.

Unsure where to really look config-wise to resolve it. From what I see, everything is correct

coliver

What ports see you using to communicate with the upstream server?

I usually try to setup the port on the configuration:

proxy_Pass http://192.168.1.202:80;

I noticed that JB didn't specify the port in his most recent guide but did in his original guide (was port 80). I tried both ways with the same result.
