Can t access the Nginx web page connection refused

Question

Hi Guys,

I have launched the Nginx image successfully with binding port 82 of the host in docker using the below command.

 $ docker run -it -d -p 82:80

I have also checked inbound rules for all traffic all protocols and ports. But can't access the Nginx page with ip_address:82. How can I solve this error?

Hi@akhtar,

I think the problem is you did not create a rule for port no. 82. You have used the concept of port forwarding in your docker container. But Nginx by default works on port 80. So you need to create a rule for port 80 in your ec2 instance.
