Nginx only setup but no respond from web site

[ozgurerdogan]

I installed Hestia with nginx only setup. But a test web site does not respond (ERR_TIMED_OUT). Nginx service is running and no error in logs. What else I should check? Any extra step after install for nginx only setup?

You should check:

1.- That the domain you are using points to your server’s public ip.

2.- Check that you have a rule in your firewall allowing connections to ports 80 and 443.

v-list-firewall

3.- Check that you are not banned from your own server:

v-list-firewall-ban

[ozgurerdogan]

Firewall or ban system is not enabled… And pinging domain responds to server ip. I install Debian 12. Should I go back Debian 11?

@ozgurerdogan

Firewall or ban system is not enabled

Are you sure?

iptables -S
nft list table filter

If you share the domain we can test it from our side.

[ozgurerdogan]

Yes it did not even installed them.

v-update-firewall
Error: FIREWALL_SYSTEM is not enabled
service fail2ban stop
Failed to stop fail2ban.service: Unit fail2ban.service not loaded.

Domain is ns2ip.com

[sahsanu]

You don’t have a service listening on port 80, only on port 443.

lsof -Pn +c0 -i:80,443 -sTCP:LISTEN

Check nginx conf:

nginx -t

And check the nginx conf for your site:

cat /home/*/conf/web/ns2ip.com/nginx.conf
cat /home/*/conf/web/ns2ip.com/nginx.ssl.conf

nginx.conf files also has:

server {
        listen      95.216.246.48:80;

Then something is blocking port 80, check if you have activated Hetzner firewall.

[ozgurerdogan]

I confirmed that they are not blocking it. So this could be something with Debian. Should I reinstall 11/12 ?

[ozgurerdogan]

I can provide you root access if you want to take a look?

[sahsanu]

I would try to figure out what’s going on before reinstalling but if you want to reinstall use Debian 12 again.

I’ll contact you via private message.

[ozgurerdogan]

My bad… It was a Nat port forwarding issue for an other vm at proxmox that was blocking port 80.
Thanks again.
