title: net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED with Nginx and Laravel 5
body: <p>I have just installed a fresh copy of Laravel 5 into <code>/var/www</code>.</p>
  
  <p>When I browse to the server I get net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED.</p>
  
  <p>My Nginx config (default) is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>server {
      listen 80;
  
      root /var/www/public;
      index index.php index.html index.htm;
  
      server_name _;
  
      location / {
              try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
      }
  
      location ~ \.php$ {
              fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
              fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
              fastcgi_index index.php;
              fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
              include fastcgi_params;
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>}</p>
  
  <p>Any idea what I'm doing wrong?</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>I am also confused about sites-enabled and sites-available. Where should default actually go?</p>
  
  <p>I have moved default from sites-available to sites-enabled and I am now getting a 403 with "Access denied".</p>
