    Answer updated thanks to Tero Kilkanen observation

    I believe the issue is caused by the server_name you have specified. Upon looking at the Nginx documentation (http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/server_names.html) the server_name needs to be in 1 of the following formats:

    exact name
longest wildcard name starting with an asterisk, e.g. “*.example.org”
longest wildcard name ending with an asterisk, e.g. “mail.*”
first matching regular expression (in order of appearance in a configuration file)

    The documentation does have an example that has a _ as a server_name however the listen directive declares it as the default server. So looking at your config if you change it to be the following it should work:

    server {
    listen 11080  default_server;
    server_name  _;
    location / {
        root /home/tester/index;
        index web.html;
    }
}

    On a side note as Paul noted it is best not to use screenshots for configuration files. The reasons are that:

    1. It makes it harder for anyone to replicate the issue as they have to type what can be long config files.
    2. It makes it harder for someone to read the question on non PC devices (imagine trying to read the screen shots on a phone). It is hard enough on a PC.
    3. There is less chance of anyone in future being able to find a similar question
