    Zabbix website doesn't respond after changing server IP address.

    I was testing zabbix by spinning up a new VMWare VM. I installed Ununtu 20.04 LTS, nginx and postgre sql. I had zabbix up and running to the point where I added a few users and hosts. I had DNS setup to point to a FQDN of zabbix.stdair.com but the Ubuntu IP address was still using DHCP. I decided that I would make this a more-permanent installation and changed the IPv4 address in Ubuntu to static. I updated my DNS entries and took steps to ensure my PC was using the new IP address. I can now ping the FQDN of the Ubuntu VM, it resolves to the correct IP address and all pings are successful. When I navigate back to zabbix.stdair.com it times out and doesn't respond. If I enter the IP address for the URL (i.e. http://192.168.0.46), I see the nginx default welcome page. That tells me Ubuntu and nginx are working correctly (at least in my limited Linux knowledge) but either postgre or zabbix is at fault. I looked through many .conf files for nginx, PHP, zabbix, etc. but I could not find anywhere where the IP address is hard-coded. Rather, the zabbix-server.conf file shows the site name correctly at zabbix.stdair.com. I don't know the first thing about troubleshooting postgre.

    Can anyone guide me what to check next?

    Please disregard. I came back to the problem several hours later and the site was responding again. Not sure what the issue was but in this case, all it needed was some quiet time.
