Nginx configuration Issue - nginx

Question

I am using nginx-1.10.3 as a load balancer. In my architecture, I have two servers-
Hostname - sal15062hkb152, IP Address - 172.15.54.116
Hostname - sal15062hkb184, IP Address - 172.15.54.105
I want both should work in active-passive mode with nginx. My application is running on both servers and client can access my application using URL -
https://sal15062hkb152/views or https://sal15062hkb184/views
My nginx.conf is -
#user nobody;
worker_processes 1;
#error_log logs/error.log;
#error_log logs/error.log notice;
#error_log logs/error.log info;
#pid logs/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
#log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
# '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '

#gzip on;
server {
listen 80;
server_name sal15062hkb152;
#http://sal15062hkb152/oneview/;

server {
listen 443 ssl;

}
}
I am trying to access https://sal15062hkb152/views but I am getting "404 Not Found" in browser. I believe, my nginx.conf file configuration is not correct. Please let me know proper configuration for my nginx.conf file. Thanks

Answer 1

Add a default virtual server for 80 and 443 otherwise specific configurations wont work.
server {
listen 80;
server_name _; # for every server without specific configuration
return 404; # doesnt matter
}
server {
listen 443;
server_name _; # for every server without configuration
return 404; # doesnt matter
}
Edit: By the way when you got the stuff working, I highly recommend you to have a look at this documentation about secure ssl configuration.
They are based on this article.
