Hello, I am trying to deploy an ASP.NET CORE API on a linux server with nginx, I have already managed the publishing stage in visual studio and I have placed the published folders in var/www

then i configured the etc/nginx/site_available/default file like this

Capture d'écran 2023-09-11 111351

then i created a kestrel of my project in etc/systemd/system

[Unit] Description=Example .NET Web API App running on Linux [Service] WorkingDirectory=/var/www/helloapp ExecStart=/usr/bin/dotnet /var/www/helloapp/helloapp.dll Restart=always # Restart service after 10 seconds if the dotnet service crashes: RestartSec=10 KillSignal=SIGINT SyslogIdentifier=dotnet-example User=www-data Environment=ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Production Environment=DOTNET_PRINT_TELEMETRY_MESSAGE=false [Install]

then i activated it without problem with the command "sudo systemctl enable kestrel-APIDossiers"

i start it with sudo systemctl start kestrel-APIDossiers

but i have the error "site innaccessible" anyone has an idea what it is?

    first check the service is ok. if the code is using host headers use postman or curl and set the headers.

    [http://127.0.0.1:5000;]

    you can also check the system log to be sure you have the correct port.
