Hi,
Having some trouble getting a 2nd nginx block live - can’t get the domain to point to the correct root folder and the Let’s Encrypt Acme challenge is failing (probably related problems).
The server is Ubuntu 18.04 and I’m using it as a sandbox to work on sites.
Here is the sites available conf for the site that is just redirecting to the nginx default page
server {
root /var/www/boothslop.online;
index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html
server_name boothslop.online www.boothslop.online;
location = /favicon.ico { log_not_found off; access_log off; }
location = /robots.txt { log_not_found off; access_log off; allow all; }
location ~* \.(css|gif|ico|jpeg|jpg|js|png)$ {
expires max;
log_not_found off;
}
location / {
#try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
Here is the sites available conf for the site that is working correctly both for lets encrypt and finding the correct root folder when the domain is accessed.
server {
root /var/www/webtest.tech;
index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html
server_name webtest.tech www.webtest.tech;
location = /favicon.ico { log_not_found off; access_log off; }
location = /robots.txt { log_not_found off; access_log off; allow all; }
location ~* \.(css|gif|ico|jpeg|jpg|js|png)$ {
expires max;
log_not_found off;
}
location / {
#try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/webtest.tech/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/webtest.tech/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot

ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot
}
server {
if ($host = www.webtest.tech) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
if ($host = webtest.tech) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
listen 80;
server_name webtest.tech www.webtest.tech;
}
Thanks very much in advance!

Hello,
You need to make sure that the Nginx user has permissions to the /var/www/boothslop.online folder. You could do that with:
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/boothslop.online
If this does not help, make sure that your second config is enabled:
ls -l /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
If you don’t see the new config there, make sure to create a symlink.
If the above are true, then check your error log for more information:
tail -100 /var/log/nginx/error.log
