How can I stop nginx from responding to non-local requests? - nginx

Question

Here's what my nginx file looks like. However when I browse to my server using the ip, I still the the "Welcome to nginx!" page
server {
listen 127.0.0.1:9070;
root /var/www/[redacted]/public/;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
server_name [redacted];
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
allow 127.0.0.1;
deny all;
}
# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on /var/run/php5-fpm.sock
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}

Answer 1

I believe that you'll find that moving the allow/deny into the server clause will clear this up:
server {
listen 127.0.0.1:9070;
root /var/www/[redacted]/public/;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
server_name [redacted];
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
allow 127.0.0.1;
deny all;
}
becomes:
server {
listen 127.0.0.1:9070;
root /var/www/[redacted]/public/;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
server_name [redacted];
allow 127.0.0.1;
deny all;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}
