When starting nginx, you may get the following error.
nginx: [emerg] socket() [::]:8080 failed (97: Address family not supported by protocol)
This indicates that the server’s IPv6 is disabled, causing the service to fail owing to an unsupported address family.
- Search for the following directive in the NGINX configuration file to resolve this error.
# listen [::]:80;
- Replace the above with the following.
listen 80;
