Nginx – How to solve “http” directive is not allowed here in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default:1

aiohttpnginx

I follow this step but somehow this throws error..

default config is

http {
  upstream alert {
    # fail_timeout=0 means we always retry an upstream even if it failed
    # to return a good HTTP response

    # Unix domain servers
    server unix:/tmp/alert_1.sock fail_timeout=0;
    server unix:/tmp/alert_2.sock fail_timeout=0;
    server unix:/tmp/alert_3.sock fail_timeout=0;
    server unix:/tmp/alert_4.sock fail_timeout=0;

    # Unix domain sockets are used in this example due to their high performance,
    # but TCP/IP sockets could be used instead:
    # server 127.0.0.1:8081 fail_timeout=0;
    # server 127.0.0.1:8082 fail_timeout=0;
    # server 127.0.0.1:8083 fail_timeout=0;
    # server 127.0.0.1:8084 fail_timeout=0;
  }
  server {
    listen 80;
    client_max_body_size 4G;

    server_name myiphere;

    location / {
      proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
      proxy_redirect off;
      proxy_buffering off;
      proxy_pass http://alert;
    }

    location /static {
      # path for static files
      root /mylocation/static;
    }

  }
}

nginx: [emerg] "http" directive is not allowed here in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default:1
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

Best Answer

Check your /etc/nginx/nginx.conf. If you are opening http directive there, and then opening it again into your sites-enabled/ folder conf file you will end up with nested http directive.
