Configure Nginx to listen on single IP Address

Written by

By default Nginx listens on all IP address on a server. To make nginx listen on specific IP address, edit nginx configuration file

vi /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

And VirtualHost/server files for each domain located in folders

/etc/nginx/conf.d => on CentOS/RHEL
/etc/nginx/sites-available => on Debian/Ubuntu

Find

listen 80

Replace with

listen IP_ADDR_HERE:80

IP_ADDR_HERE = your server IP address on which you need nginx listen on.
