Nginx reverse proxy on python simplehttpserver

I was trying to setup NGINX reverse proxy on Python SimpleHTTPServer. My web.conf file present in /etc/nginx/conf.d and the setting present in the file is as follows.

server {
    server_name localhost;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://192.168.1.3:8000/;
    } 
}

My NGINX is up and running. I did the reload after saving the web.conf file. On the other hand, I'm also running Python SimpleHTTPServer in directory home/user/projects/

But when I open the browser and visit localhost it shows me the NGINX Welcome Page and not the index.html file which is inside the directory in which I'm running Python SimpleHTTPServer.

Two things:

1- you forgot in your configuration file to specify the listening port just add :

listen 80;

2- the default configuration is still active check if there is symlink called default in:

/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

and delete it 3- Preferably add your settings file in 

/etc/nginx/sites-available/

then make a symlink to it in sites-enabled , that way you can just delete the symlink if you want to deactivate the site instead of removing the configuration . instead of putting it in conf.d.

check how to configure nginx for more details
