Where is your website files located? Since it is not /var/www/html/

@geeber05
It’s located in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

I only have one file that is from etc/nginx/sites-available

You should look at the following URL’s in order to grasp a solid understanding

of Nginx configuration files in order to fully unleash the power of Nginx.

http://wiki.nginx.org/Pitfalls

http://wiki.nginx.org/QuickStart

http://wiki.nginx.org/Configuration

Generally, you will want to move this file somewhere, and start with a clean

file but keep this around for reference. Or just disable in sites-enabled.

Please see /usr/share/doc/nginx-doc/examples/ for more detailed examples.

Virtual Host configuration for example.com

You can move that to a different file under sites-available/ and symlink that

to sites-enabled/ to enable it.

server {

listen 80;

listen [::]:80;

server_name example.com;

root /var/www/example.com;

index index.html;

location / {

try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
