Binding IP address to Angular site hosted on nginx

I have successfully hosted an angular website on nginx and my nginx.conf file looks like below,

    server {
        listen       80;
        server_name  localhost;

        #charset koi8-r;

        #access_log  logs/host.access.log  main;

        location / {
            root   C:/Angular-Project/angular2-trial/dist;
            index  index.html;
        }
        }

But I want to bind an IP address(say 10.194.31.21:8000) so that the site can be accessed anywhere in the Internal network (unlike localhost).

I tried to modify listen to 10.194.31.21:8000, but this doesn't seem to work.

What is the correct way to achieve this?

I tried Reload and restarting nginx service to enable the new configuration, but in vain.

Rebooting my windows pc with the same config file, did the trick.

You need to change both server_name and listen to ensure that. The following conf will respond to 10.194.31.21:8000

server {
  listen       8000;
  server_name  10.194.31.21;

  #charset koi8-r;

  #access_log  logs/host.access.log  main;

  location / {
    root   C:/Angular-Project/angular2-trial/dist;
    index  index.html;
  }
}

If you don't care about the hostname, you can also set server_name to _ catch all server names :

server {
  listen       8000;
  server_name  _;

  #charset koi8-r;

  #access_log  logs/host.access.log  main;

  location / {
    root   C:/Angular-Project/angular2-trial/dist;
    index  index.html;
  }
}

The listen is for the port and the server_name for the server name send by the browser. With the second solution you catch everything to your angularjs app (the drawback is that you can not host a other application with this nginx on this port).
