Just wanted to drop my observations with this one as it gave me some fits. First thing: if you need to make a change to the .conf file use the comand sudo NGINX -s reload . That will allow you to quickly reload the new conf. Second: You can’t use port 80 on pwnbox. I used 8082, but you can just use an arbitrary open port. Third: The server entry in the conf file will use the target port, not the default 8009 (it mentions this in the question, but I overlooked it), Lastly and probably most important: If it doesn’t work and you think everything looks right. Refresh the target. I was certain I didn’t mess anything up, but it took about 4 target refreshes before it would go through.
I really need some help with this one; I’ve tried with kali and pwnbox. This is the error that I receive. Many thanks if anyone has any ideas.
