If you stop nginx, e.g. `sudo systemctl stop nginx', does the browser
now fail to connect? You might have to Shift-Reload to persuade it to
try again. That will suggest you are talking to the correct server.
Is nginx writing to log files, e.g. /var/log/nginx/*.log? Anything
useful at the end of those? You can watch them with `tail -F *.log'
during your attempts. Hit Enter a few times to get some blank lines so
you can see what's new.
Does your nginx set-up have /etc/nginx/sites-{available,enabled}? Are
symlinks in the latter pointing at configuration files in the former?
Might just be `default' unless you've added others.
What's the user, group, and permissions on /var/www, e.g. `ls -ld
/var/www'?
Create a simple file in there.
sudo sh -c 'date >/var/www/now.txt'
sudo chmod 444 /var/www/now.txt
And then attempt to fetch that with curl(1) so the complicted browser
isn't involved. What `hostname' are you using in the URL?
curl -sS http://127.1/now.txt # On the Pi.
curl -sS http://FIXME/now.txt # Elsewhere.
Cheers, Ralph.
