"Connection Refused" with nginx as reverse proxy

[Radha Venkatesh (radvenka)]

Francis,

Thank you for pointing out the discrepency in the ip address. I have fixed
that and the netstat out looks like this

netstat -anp | grep 8080
tcp        0      0 128.107.138.162:8080    0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
  


And I issued the curl command like this, but I still see this error

curl -v http://128.107.138.162:8080/rhesos-server/rhesos/api/v1/ping

* About to connect() to 128.107.138.162 port 8080 (#0)
*   Trying 128.107.138.162...

curl: (7) Failed connect to 128.107.138.162:8080; Connection refused


Also, my curl command with the proxy set in the command is trying to
simulate how the real request is going to come in to the server.

Thanks,
Radha.
