If you’re trying to start nginx, but it throws this error:
Starting nginx: nginx: [emerg] bind() to 1.2.3.4:80 failed (99: Cannot assign requested address) [FAILED]
it would likely mean that the IP in question does not exist in your device. Type the following to see which IPs are in your device:
/sbin/ifconfig
If your network was restarted, type:
service startips startIf, for whatever reason, the IPs cannot be loaded into the device but you must still have that IP in the nginx config, then you can set:
net.ipv4.ip_nonlocal_bind = 1
into your /etc/sysctl.conf file, and reboot.
