NGINX ERROR :connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream - django

Question

I get that error in title when I cat out the error.log
this is how I set my website config inside /etc/nginx/site-availables/ArticleWebsite:
server_tokens off;
access_log /var/log/nginx/ArticleWebsite.access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/ArticleWebsite.error.log;
# This configuration will be changed to redirect to HTTPS later
server {
server_name backend.globeofarticles.com;
listen 443 ssl;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/backend.globeofarticles.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/backend.globeofarticles.com/privkey.pem;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
}
}
to explain my situation better, backend.globeofarticles.com is the subdomain, that where the requests are sent from globeofarticles.com or www.globeofarticles.com.
Also, Django has 127.0.0.1:8000 host as default.
when I access the website (backend subdomain) I get this error:
when checking network tab, I get too many redirects actually:
with status code 301
