nginx setup to redirect 8000 to 80

nginx.default

server {
    listen 80;

    server_name chris.paypal.com;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
    }
}

# install nginx and redirect port 8000 to 80
apt-get install nginx

sudo vi /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
# file should look like above

sudo service nginx restart

are you sure this isn't the opposite? i.e. 80 to 8000?

@rafalcode,

This is right. You need to listen to 80 and whenever a requests comes in, you will redirect that to 8000 internally.
