Nginx doesn't show the default html page

Question

I'm running nginx on raspberry pi.

I ran update and upgrade commands and then installed nginx.

1. sudo apt-get update
2. sudo apt-get upgrade
3. sudo apt-get install nginx

Started the server

4. sudo /etc/init.d/nginx start

Output

[ ok ] Starting nginx (via systemctl): nginx.service.

When I enter ip address into the browser nothing appears. What could be the problem here?

If you found the answer to your own question, post that as an answer and accept it! — mmmint, Jan 15 at 2:00

Changed the root in /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

from root /var/www/html; to root /usr/share/nginx/www;

I also renamed html folder to www because it was missing.

Restarted nginx for the changes to take effect.

sudo systemctl restart nginx
