All domains go to same site, not following NGINX conf files

Posted on October 13, 2013

I have three domains set up. One points to /var/www (my Ghost install) and works correctly. After a lot of troubleshooting my other two test domains now resolve, but they go to the /var/www location instead of the locations specified in their configuration files. Both .conf files include this:

listen 80; root /var/www/domainname.com; index index.php index.html index.htm;

server_name domainname.com;

Why are these configuration files not working?

Have you restarted Nginx? If so, what’s the output of <code>ls -la /var/www/</code>?

Did you create symbolic links for all three domains in <code>/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/</code>?
