Error while restarting nginx: [emerg] "listen" directive is not allowed here
I am trying to host two websites, I have done and completed all the steps to enabling the hosting of two websites.
Lastly when i restart the website this is the error I am getting
nginx: [emerg] “listen” directive is not allowed here in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/domain-name:4
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
# You may add here your
# server {
# listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
root /var/www/domain-name/html;
index index.html index.htm;
server_name domain.name www.domain-name;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
# }
# statements for each of your virtual hosts to this file
This is how my file loks like
It looks like you have your Listen directive outside a server { } block. Note that lines starting with a # are commented out and so they are ignored by nginx.
