After installing on Ubuntu, only seeing the "welcome to nginx" page

[PitaJ]

@selmank can you access your forum at your.ip:4567?

It looks like the tutorial you linked doesn't include linking the site config into sites-enabled.

That's included in our tutorial here: https://docs.nodebb.org/installing/os/ubuntu/#configuring-nginx

cd /etc/nginx/sites-available
sudo nano forum.example.com # config entered into file and saved
cd ../sites-enabled
sudo ln -s ../sites-available/forum.example.com

After doing so you'll need to reload nginx.

@selmank please provide the output of the following commands:

1. ls /etc/nginx/sites-available
2. ls /etc/nginx/sites-enabled

@selmank Can you see the site by going to a web browser on the host machine an typing localhost:4567 ? You will get a privacy error just so you know, but can you get there?

[selmank]

@pitaj
gave an output as follows

[selmank]

@dunlix I do not know how to do it. I haven't configured the machine for this, I just access it with nodebb, mongo, nginx installed and putty.
I am using aws ec2 ubuntu.

[Edit]
is there any way to do this with putty?

[PitaJ]

Can you try

sudo systemctl restart nginx

If that doesn't work, try

sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

Then run the restart again

[PitaJ]

@selmank in order to request locally you can use curl:

curl http://localhost:4567

[selmank]

@pitaj you are perfect.!
worked and the nodebb forum is online. I am very happy.
thank you so much.

@Nubi-KR and @dunlix thank you separately for your interest and assistance.
