99: Cannot assign requested address nginx: configuration file \/etc\/nginx\/nginx.conf test failed<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I tried searching for a solution on Google but none of them helped. After some digging around, I managed to work out what the issue was. A few weeks ago the hosting provider changed the IP address of the VPS. I ended up changing the VestaCP IP address and also all the websites IP addresses. What I didn’t change was the IP address in the nginx config file (who would have thought to do that?).<\/p>\n

The file that needed to be changed was\u00a0\/home\/admin\/conf\/web\/nginx.conf<\/p>\n

server {
\nlisten xx.xx.xx.xx:80;
\nserver_name “”;
\nreturn 444;
\n}<\/p>\n
