title: NGINX streaming RTMP: no accepted connections, no errors
body: <p>I'm trying to send video stream from OBS studio over RTMP to nginx server on a VPS
  Problem: nginx doesnt seem to be accepting input on the URL, OBS times out on send</p>
  
  <p>I've followed this tutorial on making sure that nginx has everything it needs: <a href="https://www.vultr.com/docs/setup-nginx-rtmp-on-ubuntu-14-04#Configuring_Software_to_Work_with_Nginx_RTMP" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.vultr.com/docs/setup-nginx-rtmp-on-ubuntu-14-04#Configuring_Software_to_Work_with_Nginx_RTMP</a></p>
  
  <p>I've got nginx 1.17.9 on a VCS (Ubuntu) running the default config file with the following RTMP addition: </p>
  
  <pre><code>rtmp {
      server {
              listen 1935;
              chunk_size 4096;
  
              application live {
                      live on;
                      record off;
                  allow publish all;
          }
          application hlslive {  #rtmp push stream request path 
              live on;
              hls on;
              hls_path /usr/local/nginx/html/;
              hls_fragment 3s;
              hls_playlist_length 18s;
          }
  
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've tried having OBS stream to either  <code>rtmp://IP:1935/hlslive</code> or <code>rtmp://IP:1935/live</code> - I get an error message saying the attempt timed out. I am able to access <a href="http://IP/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://IP/</a> just fine. I can test the config file and it passes. Any suggestions about how to troubleshoot? </p>
  
  <p>UFW status is disabled, OBS can stream to other servers. </p>
