(111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream on nginx - php

Question

So I made an alternative domain to a site of mine, using nginx but that error keeps coming up.
The original site works just fine, but the alternate domain shows this error.
2021/01/04 15:14:27 [error] 2007#2007: *269 connect() failed (111:
Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client:
35.209.169.6, server: cocknutsandball.com, request: "GET /sh4 HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://127.0.0.1:9000/sh4", host:
"104.244.79.32"
Here is what I tried to do:
reload nginx and php8.0-fpm
disable any firewall
for the alternate domain
'''
server {
listen 80;
server_name cocknutsandball.com www.cocknutsandball.com;
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9000;
}
}
'''
For the main domain that works
'''
server {
listen 127.0.0.1:80 default_server;
root /var/www/;
index chat.php lang_en.php emoji.css;
server_name ylwebs62zfllr4hhailwwysq2erzoxqcwqhfokkzimi73c2n4fp3mspad.o$
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.0-fpm.sock;
include fastcgi.conf;
}
error_log
/root/error_log;
access_log
/root/access_log;
}
'''
OK quick update: I changed the config to be completely identical to the one for the working domain but change the domain so now it is:
server {
listen 127.0.0.1:80;
root /var/www/;
index chat.php lang_en.php emoji.css;
server_name cocknutsandball.com;
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.0-fpm.sock;
include fastcgi.conf;
}
error_log
/root/error_log;
access_log
/root/access_log;
}
but now im getting the same exact error
just to clarify some things:
I have restarted nginx
i have made sure that the configuration syntax is working(which it was)
i have changed the index to another file to see if thats a problem
i made sure all of the ports are being listened to
i have but the domain into the original domain config, still the same error on the alternate domain
I have referred to the manual, and a lot of other guides on the internet, i just have a really difficult time understanding it
