I created new VM with Ubuntu 14.04 and I'd like to setup nginx on it.

I installed nginx via putty ssh connection: 

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nginx
sudo ufw allow 80

However, when I go to server IP in the browser request is timing out. I expected to see an nginx 404 error (I didn't modify nginx config).

Can anybody point me in right direction and tell what I should do to make nginx available by entering server IP?

Thanks in advance.

  • Did you allow port 80 in the firewall? (if not - sudo ufw allow 80) If you are accessing it on a different network than the server - did you set up port forwarding?

  • Also, try ping -c 3 localhost on the server.

  • @BharadwajRaju ping works correctly and I opened port 80 for http

After some searching I found that vm has own firewall settings that has to be changed in VM Inbound Security Rules to allow access via port 80 (by default only ssh is allowed).
