Suspicious Symbols on Nginx Config – How to Identify and Fix

nginx

I have the following nginx config, e.g.

server {
        listen   80;
        server_name example.com
        allow 127.0.0.0/8;

When I restart, it warn me:

Restarting nginx: nginx: [warn] server name "127.0.0.0/8" has suspicious 
symbols in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/xxx

Any idea?

I guess you are missing the ; at the end of the server_name directive so it interprets the allow line as part of the server name. 

server {
        listen   80;
        server_name example.com;
        allow 127.0.0.0/8;
