What is wrong in this ?

Answer 1

"location" directive should be inside a 'server' directive, e.g.

server {     listen       8765;      location / {         resolver 8.8.8.8;         proxy_pass http://$http_host$uri$is_args$args;     }      error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;     location = /50x.html {         root   html;     } }
