nginx not serving default mediagoblin on debian jessie - nginx

Question

I have been trying to figure this out all weekend now... I have given up on googling. I have found similar issues but none of the solutions I find have resolved the issue. I'm very new to media goblin, and haven't really dived into linux this deep before, so I am very noobish.
I have followed the instructions from http://mediagoblin.readthedocs.io/en/stable/siteadmin/deploying.html keeping all the defaults, just to get the default setup to work. I figured from there I would be able to start changing things and see what happens. Okay enough of the intro.
When I input
nginx -t
I get
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
When I input
./lazyserver.sh --server-name=fcgi fcgi_host=127.0.0.1 fcgi_port=26543
I get
Using paster config: paste_local.ini
Using ./bin/paster
+ export CELERY_ALWAYS_EAGER=true
+ ./bin/paster serve paste_local.ini --server-name=fcgi fcgi_host=127.0.0.1 fcgi_port=26543 --reload

It doesn't appear as though the server is being served. When I go to the server ip i get the default nginx page.
my /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file is as follows

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

When I run this command, as suggested by the guide, I am unable to load the page.
./lazyserver.sh --server-name=fcgi fcgi_host=127.0.0.1 fcgi_port=26543
However when I run this command, it works.
./lazyserver.sh --server-name=fcgi fcgi_host=10.0.0.192 fcgi_port=26543
I'm not sure if the first one, as supplemented by the guide, implied that you were accessing it locally... which would make sense since the dns url created in the directions was supposed to work without implicitly creating a dns entry anywhere... orrr if i'm still doing something wrong.

Answer 1

You probably have a default server in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/. If you use mediagoblin.example.org to access the server, then your server configuration will match.
You state that you use the server's IP address, which means that the default server will be used instead.
You have a number of options:
You could add the IP address to the server_name directive and pretend that that is a valid name for your server.
You could set up DNS or hosts so that you can use the correct name.
You could remove the other configuration file, so that this configuration becomes the de-facto default server.
