I am using the AWS Elastic BEanstalk Console. Not the Command Line Tool. Not sure If I am even using NGInx.

I am not a Dev Ops Person, But I don't have any clue about NGinx. What's the best possible solution out of here?

Cheers and Thanks in Advance.

try to check the version of nginx you are using. you will need version 1.3.13 or later. i would recommend 1.6 — Ataur Rahim Chowdhury, Apr 18 '15 at 12:02
Could you provide more configuration details, like ports, etc.? — sap1ens, Apr 19 '15 at 03:58

Take a look at this answer that I answered previously. A lot of people have issues with one part, so the answer tries to explain everything from your browser down to nginx: elastic beanstalk weird nginx configuration

It should at least give you a starting point for debugging and being able to eliminate issues.

Thanks @josh-davis. Works great. I had a problem with YAML Syntax probably! :( – godimedia Apr 20 '15 at 10:16
