HOW TO FIX ERROR 99 CANNOT ASSIGN REQUESTED ADDRESS NGINX
December 7, 2019 / by Marco / Categories : Business, Technology, TIP AND TRICKS, Websites
I recently received this error message when I manually started my VestaCP Nginx service:
99: Cannot assign requested address nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
I tried searching for a solution on Google but none of them helped. After some digging around, I managed to work out what the issue was. A few weeks ago the hosting provider changed the IP address of the VPS. I ended up changing the VestaCP IP address and also all the websites IP addresses. What I didn’t change was the IP address in the nginx config file (who would have thought to do that?).
The file that needed to be changed was /home/admin/conf/web/nginx.conf
server {
listen xx.xx.xx.xx:80;
server_name “”;
return 444;
}
