Hi all,
I recently added Nginx to my server to host an additional website on my VPS. I got the new website working.
Though now my other website which is a Wordpress website is returning an error when I try to access its URL: Error 521, Web server is down.
I’ve tried my best to find a solution, but I can’t find anything that works for me.
I’d appreciate any advice! :)
