I installed wsl2 => then ubuntu => then nginx => php.fpm (version I need) Then added mysite.local.conf to my nginx config but can't access the site on wsl from windows

nginx config code:

server {
        listen 80 default_server;
        server_name mysite.local *.mysite.local;

        root /mnt/d/projects/arash/original/Web/frontend/web;
        

        access_log /mnt/d/projects/arash/original/logs/arash-access.log;
        error_log /mnt/d/projects/arash/original/logs/arash-error.log;


        location ~* ^/backend$ {
                rewrite ^ http://backend.mysite.local permanent; #301 redirect
        }

        location ~* ^/setting$ {
                rewrite ^ http://setting.mysite.local permanent; #301 redirect
        }

        if ($host ~* ^(arash\.local)) {
        rewrite ^ http://www.$host$uri permanent; #301 redirect
        }

        location ~ /\. {
                deny all;
        }

        location / {
                index index.php index.html index.htm;
                try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
        }

        location ~ \.php$ {
                fastcgi_read_timeout 1h;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.1-fpm.sock;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
                include        fastcgi_params;
        }

        location ~* ^.+\.(rss|atom|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|rtf|js|css|svg|woff)$ {
                expires 7d;
        }

        charset utf8;
}

server {
        listen 80;
        server_name backend.mysite.local;

        access_log /mnt/d/projects/arash/original/logs/arash-access.log;
        error_log /mnt/d/projects/arash/original/logs/arash-error.log;

        root /mnt/d/projects/arash/original/Web/backend;

    location / {
                index index.php index.html index.htm;
                try_files   $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
        }

        location ~ \.php$ {
                fastcgi_read_timeout 1h;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.1-fpm.sock;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
                include        fastcgi_params;
        }

}

server {
        listen 80;
        server_name setting.mysite.local;

        access_log /mnt/d/projects/arash/original/logs/arash-access.log;
        error_log /mnt/d/projects/arash/original/logs/arash-error.log;

        root /mnt/d/projects/arash/original/Web/setting/web;

        location / {
                index index.php index.html index.htm;
                try_files   $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
        }

        location ~ \.php$ {
                fastcgi_read_timeout 1h;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.1-fpm.sock;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
                include        fastcgi_params;
        }

}

then ran ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/mysite.local.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

then got my wsl IP using ifconfig 172.28.11.207 and added 172.28.11.207 mysite.local to hosts of windows then tried to reach mysite.local from windows browser shows nothing

I also set 127.0.0.1 mysite.local but no chance either

I used ipconfig /flushdns after each change in host

The config of fast startup on windows is off The config of hibernate on windows is off

then I tried https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl-config#wsl-2-settings this and added .wslconfig to my user with this code:

[wsl2]
localhostForwarding=true

still nothing

when I tried to run curl mysite.local I got curl: (7) Failed to connect to mysite.local port 80: Connection refused

then I set wsl to use version 1 with wsl --set-version Ubuntu-20.04 1 and run again curl mysite.local now I get curl: (52) Empty reply from server

    wsl2 gets a new IP each time you start a dist. `localhost` always works, but not using `127.0.0.1`. You either need to check the what IP it gets each time you start it and update your hosts file in windows with that, or just stick with `localhost` – M. Eriksson May 12 '21 at 19:37
  • the problem is that it's not even run once – Arash Rabiee May 12 '21 at 22:23

    Localhost forwarding can break down in certain situations. Before going any further in troubleshooting, exit your WSL instances, run `wsl --shutdown` from PowerShell or CMD, and then restart the WSL instance and services. See [here](https://stackoverflow.com/a/63455770/11810933) for more information. – NotTheDr01ds May 13 '21 at 02:20
  • @NotTheDr01ds I did as you suggested, and also things recommended on the link but no progress – Arash Rabiee May 14 '21 at 10:20

Port may already be in used by another service, like IIS. I faced an nginx service start issue, because the port was already in use by IIS. After turning off the IIS sevice, the nginx service ran without any fails.

    Welcome back to Stack Overflow! Please phrase this as an explained conditional answer, in order to avoid the impression of asking a clarification question instead of answering (for which a comment should be used instead of an answer, compare https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/214173/why-do-i-need-50-reputation-to-comment-what-can-i-do-instead). For example like "If your problem is ... then the solution is to .... because .... ." – hakre Nov 01 '21 at 23:29
