nginx config for nodejs api not returning /api calls

Question

Having trouble configuring NGINX to serve JSON from nodejs. Static files are serving fine, but the /API requests are timing out.

NGINX config file

server {
    listen 80;  
    root /home/doctorep/doctoreports;
    #index index.html index.htm;

    server_name doctoreports.com;

    location / {
    proxy_pass      http://127.0.0.1:8080;
    }

    location /api/ {
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
    proxy_redirect off;
    }
}

I tried every variation of config I could find using google-foo and couldn't get any to work. If I curl the api from the CLI I get the expected json return. So I think the problem is in the NGINX config. Any help or suggestions are appreciated!

There's a typo on proxy_pass http:127.0.0.1:8080; <-- gotta be http:// — TLJ

Solved by figuring out that my CouchDB views were not working because of a dependency conflict — JtD

Sorry for answering my own question...Figured out that CouchDB had a dependency conflict and was not serving views properly. Figured that out by setting up an SSH tunnel and using the /_utils to try and modify and view the /views for my database.
