I tried accessing a nginx server that is hosting a website on my Azure VM. Typically I would make the changes for localhost and browse to the website in question with the relevant port appended to it. For eg. http://x.x.x.x for port 80 or if it is any other port then http://x.x.x.x:3678. I cannot do this anymore so I am wondering if there are other setting to make this possible. On the VM I can get to the page with the private IP and the domain in question but outside the VM I cannot reach it with either the public IP or privtate IP
Hi @Anonymous ,
Did you setup NSG and allow access to the vm from Internet to port 80 for example?
Private IP can be only routed in the same network or VPN connection so if you want to access nginx from your PC via public IP please check if you have proper firewall rules in place.
Please upvote or accept as answer if it helped.
@rafalzak yeah all of that was setup. Taking a look at the nginx config, there maybe something there
The simple test would be setup test vm in the same vnet and see if you can access page via private IP. If not, there is definitely problem with nginx. If you solve it with Private IP you can remove test VM and see if you can access from Public IP.
You can also check if local firewall on the server do not block requests to the Nginx.
Hi @Anonymous
You should check the Public IP address / associate one using the following guide:
