[Solved] Connection refused

[Nagataka]

Hi all,

Just reinstalled one of my laptop with centos7.
Installed the latest version of CWP (version  0.9.8.796).
All working fine.. now changed my webserver to nginx -> varnish -> apache.
After this, every time i get a connection refused ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED error when visiting a normal file.
Normally, no problem. Just reading some error logs and the problem could be solved. But this time.
Nothing got written in the log files.
If i switch to apache the sites work without any problem.

Someone got a clue?

Hi, try to check if all three WEB servers are work after the rebuild. Also, you can try apache+nginx or nginx+php-fpm 7.x

Thanks for your quick reply.
Just noticed that nginx doesn't want to start indeed.. should have checked that first

Try nginx -t or systemctl status nginx . It will show you why this happens.

Status of systemctl nginx status was just posted above your reply.

nginx -t output:
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: [emerg] bind() to <ip>:80 failed (99: Cannot assign requested address)
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

This bit: nginx: [emerg] bind() to <ip>:80 failed (99: Cannot assign requested address)
Which is weird.. cause i can connect on the hostname.

This btw just solved the problem:

You must check if the IP in nginx configs exists at the server.

Mmmm... so what you basicly mean.. It does a reverse checkup on the domain/ip?
Cause i made a fake domein.. added it in my hostfile on my pc.
So it does some reverse checkup?
