Connection refused on PHP application on nginx on

Question

I have an nginx app that was running on localhost and now I can no longer access it. I'm truly at a loss for how to diagnose the problem.

Some things I've investigated:

• TimPeterson$ sudo lsof -i :80 ->shows tons of stuff, but nothing that looks like my app
• System Preferences -> sharing ->toggle "web sharing" -> doesn't help

I'm not a total noob in that I've had this server running for over a year but obviously I did something or some software update jacked some part of the configuration.

Answer 1

I'm not sure if its the same in your case, but some time, localhost wont work on my mac os x

Try to use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost and if it worked, check your /private/etc/hosts file

Answer 2

You'll want to check the error log for anything related to nginx. MNPP appears to install nginx in /Applications/MNPP/Library/nginx.
