Nginx not serving from localhost but will serve from 127.0.0.1

[anthonybrown]

I use brew-services and love it but recently I noticed my nginx server is no longer serving files from localhost:8080

It will serve from 127.0.0.1:8080

Any ideas if this has something to do with running everything from brew-services?

I've installed all my software with brew PHP56, mysql, redis, memcached etc and things were working like expected until a couple of brew upgrade ago.

Here is the gist

What about your nginx.conf and any enabled sites?
also please provide the output of sudo lsof -i TCP -Pn | grep nginx

I had this happen before and it was because nginx is not listening on ipv4 but only on ipv6

my server directive looks this this:

server {
    listen [::]:80;
    return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
    include conf.d/restrictions.conf;
}

@plessbd I added the [::] before the port and it's serving from localhost now.
👍

@plessbd how would you serve up PHP applications?
I'd love to be able to not have to use localhost:8080 for all my nginx
projects and just localhost for my Apache/PHP/MySQL projects?

If you want more help I can email you (since github as far as I know doesnt let direct communication) and this is a bit off topic

I use a combination of dnsmasq and phpfpm
you can see my setup script here https://github.com/plessbd/setup

I then have nginx have a server_name
here is an example of my config for adminer

server {
    listen [::]:80;
    server_name adminer.ben.dev;
    return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
    include conf.d/restrictions.conf;
}

server {
    listen       [::]:443 http2 ssl;
    include conf.d/star.ben.dev.ssl.conf;
    include conf.d/restrictions.conf;

    server_name adminer.ben.dev;
    root    /usr/local/share/adminer;

    access_log  /usr/local/etc/nginx/logs/adminer.access.log    json;
    error_log       /usr/local/etc/nginx/logs/adminer.error.log debug;

    location / {
        # for php
        include  /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d/php-fpm;
    }
}

@plessbd Thanks, I'll take you up on that offer when I get a little more time, thanks much appreciated!
