Hello,

Am trying to setp-up nginx in centos7 (minimal image), and it seems like installed successfully, but failed to start.

Below the steps which I followed to install nginx -

Created a file at /etc/yum.repos.d/nginx.repo and add following content to repo file:

[nginx] name=nginx repo baseurl=http://nginx.org/packages/centos/$releasever/$basearch/ gpgcheck=0 enabled=1

And "yum install nginx", installed nginx without returning any error.

Then started nginx by using - sudo systemctl start nginx.service, but " http://localhost or IP" not loading nginx default welcome page

I have verified whether any other services are running on the port 80, its used by nginx only. Below the result.

lsof -i :80

COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME nginx 2357 root 6u IPv4 20726 0t0 TCP *:http (LISTEN) nginx 2358 nginx 6u IPv4 20726 0t0 TCP *:http (LISTEN)

cat /var/log/nginx/error.log is empty.

So where am wrong ? Pls help.

Is the firewall running? Is yes, try switching it off and then browsing localhost.

Best Regards, Rigved

Rigved,

It worked !

We are not having any firewall hardware, just restarted my WiFi access point and it works.

Not sure, where was the problem :).

Also check whether the nginx config contains any syntax errors - nginx won't start if any of the config files have errors.

sudo nginx -t
