title: Setting up django with nginx on EC2
body: <p>I'm trying to run my django app with nginx, but when trying to connect to my EC2 IP im getting "connection timed out" error. It properly shows django "deafult" page on terminal when I run</p>
  
  <pre><code>curl 127.0.0.1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But no luck with EC2 IPs. Public IP gives me error 99 (cannot assign to requested address), private IP gives me "connection timed out" message in my browser.</p>
  
  <p>So what's wrong with me and/or this nginx config:</p>
  
  <pre><code>user nobody nogroup;
  pid /var/run/nginx.pid;
  error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
  
  events {
      worker_connections  1024;
      accept_mutex: on;
  }
  
  http {
      include       mime.types;
      default_type  application/octet-stream;
      access_log /tmp/nginx.access.log combined;
      sendfile        on;
      tcp_nopush      on;
      tcp_nodelay         on;
      gzip  on;
      gzip_http_version 1.0;
      gzip_proxied any;
      gzip_min_lenght 500;
      gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.";
      gzip_types text/plain text/xml text/css
           text/comma-separated-values
           text/javascript application/x-javascript
           application/atom+xml;
      include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here's my enabled site</p>
  
  <pre><code>upstream app_server {
    server 127.0.0.1:8000 fail_timeout=0;
  }
  
  server {
      listen my_IP:80 default;
      client_max_body_size 4G;
      server_name www.my_domain.pl my_domain.pl;
      keepalive_timeout 5;
      root /home/ubuntu/webapps/my_app;
  
    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_redirect off;
        if (!-f $request_filename) {
          proxy_pass http://app_server;
          break;
        }
    }
    error_page 500 502 503 504 /500.html;
    location = /500.html {
      root /path/to/app/current/public;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Do I need to change the last line for something else? Or this proxy_pass thingy?</p>
