nginx server_name configuration problem

Question

Configuration file

server {
        listen       8899;
        server_name  tc.com;

        location / {
            root   html;
            index  index.html index.htm;
       }
    }

It is useless to access tc.com:8899 through the browser, but it is useful to use localhost:8899. Why is this?

Answer 1

I suspect you don’t know the difference between DNS and domain name and server_name

Answer 2

Forgot to change hosts
