Teresa Ollison asks:
Lately, when I try to check my messages, on AOL, after signing in and checking on mail, it goes to a screen that only says “Welcome to Nginx”.
That’s it. I still cannot view my mail. How do I get rid of this page, and how did it get here?

May 21, 2011Teresa,
this was hopefully a temporary issue that should have disappeared in the meantime.
Nginx (Engine X) is an open source web server and reverse proxy server. Many websites use it, for example Facebook.
The “Welcome to Nginx!” message means that something has gone awry on the server side. It’s a glitch. Nothing you can do anything about other than maybe clearing your cache and restarting your browser.
Do you still see the problem? Do you know how to clear your cache? Which browser do you use?
Many websites use it… For example makeuseof.com!

July 17, 2011If the purpose of “Welcome to Nginx” was to piss me off with software I did not put on my computer, it’s working. Please, Please help me find an answer to getting rid of this thing.
I have being having trouble with my computer, specifically, mail and then the “NGINX” message comes along. What ever happened to the idea that the only things that were on my computer was something I installed.

February 24, 2012I have found that when I get the ‘Welcome to ngnix’, especially after trying to access my emails, I close the page and then reopen to access my emails and I find that I’m there at the front page of my emails. Thus the ‘Welcome to ngnix’ seems to be a cover page that can be ‘deleted’ with the closing of the page and then reopening.

March 8, 2012I had the same issue with Facebook.
However, my issue was that the bookmark in Firefox went from https to http and caused the Welcome to Nginx! Screen.
I just changed the properties in the bookmark from http to https and my problem was solved.

April 24, 2012browsing history and reset worked for me on the yahoo nginx error but not google. I switched from http to https and the problem was resolved. On win7 there is a compatibility icon on your address bar. Helpful page, I had to have run 3 different malware/spyware/antivirus programs before i found this.

April 27, 2012I get the same message trying to access Facebook, I suspect my Browser has been compromised as it only happens in Firefox, not Chrome.
Since it appears to be browser specific in your case, you should be able to simply dump your history Firefox -> Options, Advanced Tab, Clear Now button in the Cached Web Content section.
If it affects multiple browsers, you would want to flush your DNS cache by closing all web browsers, open a command prompt (or from the Run… dialog) type: “ipconfig /flushdns” (without the quotes) and hitting Enter. This will force your resolver to contact the DNS servers again in order to find sites on the internet. Don’t worry, it doesn’t take very long to repopulate your commonly used sites the next time you reference them.
April 28, 2012Problem solved – thanks! The ipconfig/flushdns worked for me. Also, here is a helpful article from the nginx website – http://nginx.org/en/docs/welcome_nginx_facebook.html

May 2, 2012This page shows.. “welcome to Nginx” and that’s exactly what it is, a welcome message page, so what you do after is go to top of the browser and reload the page clicking the little curved arrow, tara! there you have it! problem solved..

May 6, 2012It does not happen in Chrome . When I am on Internet Exploere and Firefox and the address is not valid or a non reachable address I´ve got the welcome to NGIn or 404 not found and ngin. AS the browsers address bar has been changed in its search tool. Chrome has google on its bar, so it does not show the message. Hosts file is Ok. Run several malware cleaning tools and still have Nginx as a nightmare . Also cleaned everything I could
Contrary to popular belief, Nginx is not malware but a web server designed for high concurrency applications.
Have you tried flushing your DNS cache by opening a command prompt and typing ‘ipconfig /flushdns’? This will normally fix the issue as your DNS resolver is forced to get the potentially new address for the affected site(s).

May 12, 2012im getting that when i try to veiw my deviant art profile!
what is it and how can i get rid of it???
Hey Kat, Bruce Eppers answered this question a little further down the page and directly above your comment:
1. Nginx is open source web hosting software, which DeviantArt probably uses for their website. Don’t worry. It’s nothing to be concerned about and can quickly be switched.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nginx
2. Bruce suggests clearing your DNS cache. I took some screen shots and here’s what it should look like:
http://i.imgur.com/YApxG.png (type run into the box here and hit enter)
http://i.imgur.com/ReWo8.png (type: ipconfig /flushdns)
3. If that doesn’t work, try wiping your cookies using Ccleaner:

Be careful with Ccleaner, though, as it can cause some problems if used improperly. However, its usage is relatively straightforward after installing it.

That’s it – How can I get rid of this page, and how did it get there when I didn’t authorize it?
Try clearing your browser cache. If that doesn’t work clear you DNS cache by opening up the Run… dialog box and typing “ipconfig /flushdns” (without the quotes) and pressing enter.
