Having problems with nginx in openwrt

Question

I have a router with external ip xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa with openwrt installed on it. It also has nginx package installed. I also has a web server with internal ip aaa.bbb.ccc.eee, connected to router's lan. Now i want to see my site project.com available on the web. Of course, i can use port forwarding and not to use nginx, but in future i want to have one more web server with more sites. So, nginx is necessary for me.

My nginx is started and it has these config files:

cat /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:

user nobody nogroup;
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" '
    #                  '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';

    #access_log  logs/access.log  main;

    sendfile        on;
    #tcp_nopush     on;

    #keepalive_timeout  0;
    keepalive_timeout  65;

    #gzip  on;

    server {
        listen       80;
        server_name  localhost;

        #charset koi8-r;

        #access_log  logs/host.access.log  main;

        location / {
            root   html;
            index  index.html index.htm;
        }

        #error_page  404              /404.html;

        # redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
        #
        error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
        location = /50x.html {
            root   html;
        }

        # proxy the PHP scripts to Apache listening on 127.0.0.1:80
        #
        #location ~ \.php$ {

        #}

        # pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
        #
        #location ~ \.php$ {
        #    root           html;
        #    fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
        #    fastcgi_index  index.php;
        #    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /scripts$fastcgi_script_name;
        #    include        fastcgi_params;
        #}

        # deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
        # concurs with nginx's one
        #
        #location ~ /\.ht {
        #    deny  all;
        #}
    }


    # another virtual host using mix of IP-, name-, and port-based configuration
    #
    #server {
    #    listen       8000;
    #    listen       somename:8080;
    #    server_name  somename  alias  another.alias;

    #    location / {
    #        root   html;
    #        index  index.html index.htm;
    #    }
    #}


    # HTTPS server
    #
    #server {
    #    listen       443 ssl;
    #    server_name  localhost;

    #    ssl_certificate      cert.pem;
    #    ssl_certificate_key  cert.key;

    #    ssl_session_cache    shared:SSL:1m;
    #    ssl_session_timeout  5m;

    #    ssl_ciphers  HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;
    #    ssl_prefer_server_ciphers  on;

    #    location / {
    #        root   html;
    #        index  index.html index.htm;
    #    }
    #}

}
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf

cat /etc/nginx/conf.d/project.com.conf:

server {
listen 80;
server_name project.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://aaa.bbb.ccc.eee;
proxy_cache off;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_redirect off;
charset off;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarder-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
}

But my site project.com is anavailable. Services httpd and nginx are running on aaa.bbb.ccc.eee server. Where is a mistake in my configs?

Answer 1

There was a mistake in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:

The line "include /etc/nginx/conf.d/.conf*" should be "include /etc/nginx/conf.d/.conf;*" and it also should be inside http { } section. There were some errors in /var/log/nginx/error.log about this. Now i fixed this, no errors are shown in error.log, but still not works...

p.s. my uhttpd (used for LUCI) port is 8080, so it does not conflicts with nginx's 80 port. Don't know what to do else (
