Looks like your Mongodb database isn't running or is inaccessible.

You can test changes to your nginx config by nginx -t to make sure there are no errors.

nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

how can I fix this?
How can I check errors?
Can you please help me?

You need to restart mongodb, https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/#restart-mongodb, to check for mongodb errors you can look at the file in /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log

Is it safe to post this information in this file?

Sir you're my hero

sudo service mongod start worked for me, the site is back

Thanks a lot for your quick reply and your help

I don't think that file contains any sensitive info, but you can double check before posting.

Glad the site is back. If mongodb was down due to lack of memory you might have to upgrade your server or it might happen again.

I have digitalocean and I did poweroff command so I could take snapshot.

Maybe mongodb shuts down if I use power off, of doesn't it?

btw the problem with the filesize is also solved
