Magento 2 Varnish on Nginx server

Question

Have installed Varnish cache successfuly but now when I try to use: systemctl status varnish - it's giving me an error Could not get socket :80: Address already in use.

I have checked the sockets by using netstat -plntu and it seems like that this is the problem:

206.189.99.109:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 31889/nginx: master

10.18.0.8:8080 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 31889/nginx: master

206.189.99.109:8080 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 31889/nginx: master

one of the Nginx: master is running under port 80 I have tried to change the port in nginx config files but nothing.

How or where can I change this port to 80?

In nginx, you have to change to port in the config file that holds your vhost config.

Usualy listen 80 is somewhere in that file. Replace it with listen 8080.

For varnish, the listen port is part of the systemd config file. By default it is hosted in /lib/systemd/system/varnish.service, but it should be copied to /etc/systemd/system/varnish.service.

In the varnish.service file you'll find something like -a :6081, which should be replaced by -a :80.

After you've made the changes to the varnish.service file, you need to reload the systemd daemon by running sudo systemctl daemon-reload.

And finally, it's a matter of restarting nginx & varnish using the restart commands that systemd offers.

Here's the all-in-one command that does all this for you:

sudo sed -i 's/80/8080/' /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
sudo cp -f /lib/systemd/system/varnish.service /etc/systemd/system/varnish.service
sudo sed -i 's/-a :6081/-a :80/' /etc/systemd/system/varnish.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart nginx
sudo systemctl restart varnish

These are my assumptions about these commands:

Your nginx vhost conf file is /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
Your varnish is in its out-of-the-box config, and still listens on port 6081
