nginx is seeing no traffic.

So look at everything outside of nginx.

Does the hostname you use resolve to the nginx IP address? Do you have a
working network route to and from the nginx server? Is the a firewall or
network control device anywhere in between that is dropping the traffic?

>From the nginx server, does "curl -v http://127.0.0.1/" or "curl -v
http://127.0.0.1/static/" give any useful response, or output in the
log files?

If so, you know that nginx is active.

Does "tcpdump" on the nginx server show any incoming port-80 traffic?

Good luck with it,
