I have copied a directory into /var/www named mysite; then I created a file in sites-available in order to setup configuration to point to this directory (/etc/nginx/sites-available/mysite) and a symlink of it in sites-enabled (/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mysite):

server 
 listen 4000 default_server;
 listen [::]:4000 default_server;

 root /var/www/otsui;

 index index.html;

 server_name _;

 location / 
 try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
 

But when I try to get http://localhost:4000/, I get This site can’t be reached page which means nothing is being served.

I have also tried restarting nginx service.

I have a debian jessie.

These are my firewalls:

root@mylab:/var/www# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination 

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination 
DOCKER-USER all -- anywhere anywhere 
DOCKER-ISOLATION all -- anywhere anywhere

DOCKER all -- anywhere anywhere

ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere 
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED
DOCKER all -- anywhere anywhere

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)

Chain DOCKER (2 references)

Chain DOCKER-ISOLATION (1 references)
target prot opt source destination 
DROP all -- anywhere anywhere 
DROP all -- anywhere anywhere 
RETURN all -- anywhere anywhere 

Chain DOCKER-USER (1 references)
target prot opt source destination 
RETURN all -- anywhere anywhere 

I have also tried copying my web-site files into the default directory, i.e. /var/www/html; but navigating to http://127.0.0.1:3000/ in the browser still shows me nginx welcome page, even though I made a restart to the nginx service.

I solved the issue; the problem was that I have not included /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf in order to load configs from. After a restart on the nginx service, my web application was completely deployed.

I should mention that I also checked the output of command nginx -t in order to be sure every change in the nginx configurations are OK; the output for a successful re-configuration is:

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

BTW, this is my nginx configurations now:

user nginx;
worker_processes 1;

error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log warn;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;


events 
 worker_connections 1024;
