Fix VPS Node.js Setup
Budget: ₹600 – ₹1,500 INR
My Node.js app is live on a VPS, yet nothing is reachable from the outside world. I have ruled out code-level bugs—the issue is squarely in the server configuration layer. Everything points to the way Nginx/Apache is currently set up: virtual hosts, reverse-proxy directives, or some other misstep that stops traffic from ever reaching the Node process.
You’ll receive full SSH access so you can inspect the existing config files, logs, and running services. Once you locate the culprit, I need the working configuration applied and the site verified in a browser (HTTP and, if enabled, HTTPS).
Deliverables
• Diagnose and correct the Nginx/Apache configuration so the Node.js project is accessible
• Restart services and confirm successful external connection
• Summarise the changes made in a short README or shell history for my records
No changes beyond this layer are required; code is stable. If you spot anything else critical—unused firewall rules, stale environment variables—flag it, but the main objective is a clean, functioning proxy to my Node app.
