OMERO web - only get the nginx welcome page

[mblanche]

Dear all, first post here!

Just finished installing Omero and Omero-web backed up by Nginx on a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on an AWS instance following exactly the steps in http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/support/omero5/sysadmins/unix/server-linux-walkthrough.html.

The issue that I am having is that Nginx won't serve the Omero page on port 80 when the Listen argument is set to port 80 but will respond with the Omero login and work just fine if the Listen is set to any other port (port 88 in the current set and provide a fully functioning omero server). It's my first time using Nginx (For my need, I only had to deal work with Apache) and I am a bit clueless as where the Nginx is getting is source for port 80.

The only config file in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled is the omero-web config so I really have no clue where the nginx welcome page come from when hitting my server on port 80.

thanks for the help

Hi Marco

It sounds like the default nginx site configuration is still active for some reason. Have you tried a full restart of nginx instead of a reload? If you stop nginx (service nginx stop) do you see a connection error? If you don't it suggests there's a second instance of nginx running somewhere. Are there are any clues in your nginx logs (/var/log/nginx/access.log, /var/log/nginx/error.log)?

Failing that could you paste the output of:

Code: Select all

ps -ef | grep nginx
ls -Rl /etc/nginx/


Thanks, Simon
