Heya @840848681,

Can you post your Nginx config so that I can check it and provide you with a pinpoint answer?

Also here is how it should look like

server {
        listen 80;
        listen [::]:80;

        root /var/www/your_domain/html;
        index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

        server_name your_domain www.your_domain;

        location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
        }
}

root would be the Directory your app is located. It can be /var/www/html or /home/test/app it doesn’t matter.

As for the server_name, well that should be your domain. Let’s assume your domain was google.com then it would look like this:

server_name google.com www.google.com
