I'm trying to figure out how to set up Nginx on a micro-instance on AWS.
The micro-instance is set up and running. I've associated an elastic IP to it. I SSH into it, make a new user run apt-get upgrade
, then apt-get install nginx
. Nginx gets installed. Then I run sudo service nginx start
. It looks like nginx is started. I can see the workers as running processes.
So I try to access the server through the public IP ie. elastic IP via my browser in hope of seeing the 'Welcome to Nginx' screen. But all I get is the message that the server can't be found.
I'm clueless on how to continue.
