Problem with Nginx

Help
#1

My domain is: mio.sito.it

I ran this command: certbot --nginx -d mio.sito.it -v
It produced this output:
Domain: mio.sito.it
Type: connection
Detail: Fetching http://mio.sito.it/.well-known/acme-challenge/uKyGeaPSdt2vQbcRpN58zTGzi_mVFaAaHZJuxRnM-3E: Timeout during connect (likely firewall problem)

My web server is (include version): Nginx

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): ubuntu 20.04

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot): certbot 1.19.0.dev0

My DNS is well configured.
My reverse-proxy.conf is:

server {
        listen 80;

        access_log /var/log/nginx/reverse-access.log;
        error_log /var/log/nginx/reverse-error.log;

        root /var/www/html;

        location / {
                        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html =404;
}

}

thanks in advice

Hi @epalma, welcome to the LE community forum :slight_smile:

That vhost config has no server name.
And doesn't appear to be doing proxy action.

The problem seems to be with inbound HTTP:

You need a functional HTTP site before it can be secure (via HTTP authentication method).

Hi @rg305,
thanks for your help. The HTTP is ok the config file I've send is the last after many changes I've done.
The web server in HTTP (port 80) respond correctly.
The firewall is down. The web server IP is public and reachable from internet.

I can't even resolve the name to an IP:
can't find mio.sito.it: Non-existent domain

excuse me @rg305 mio.sito.it is a placeholder, the real one is staging.nexsoft.it
that is up and running and I wish redirect to private IP where I have a site under construction.
If I remove the comment in the conf file the redirection works ok but in HTTP.

server {
        listen 80;

        access_log /var/log/nginx/reverse-access.log;
        error_log /var/log/nginx/reverse-error.log;

        root /usr/share/nginx/html;

        location / {
#                       proxy_pass https://192.168.2.249:44353;
#                       try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html =404;
}

}

Then leave the try_files uncommented?!?!

I don't understand what you mean by that.

How is this related?

Hi @rg305
I found my problem... i don't know why but the two network cards on my server had lost the setting "ip forwarding =1" and this was messing up ip packets with huge delays in responding to HTTP requests. Inside my LAN all seemed ok but outside I had HTTP problems.
Fixed to 1 ip forwording everything went ok without changing anything else. thank you very much for the time you have dedicated to me.
