Hi there,

In addition to what @alexdo mentioned, I could also suggest checking the content of the /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ as your config file might have a different name depending on your setup:

ls -l /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

Then you will see a list of files there and you can use the cat command to see the content of the specific file:

cat /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/your_website_name

Note: change the your_website_name with the name of the file that you see after running the ls command

Hello, @aslanhuseynov9

Have you recently configured the LEMP stack droplet? The following is usually a symlink /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default from /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

Note: If you ever need to restore the default configuration, you can do so by recreating the symbolic link, like this:

  1. sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/default /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

You can check our existing tutorial on how to configure the LEMP stack here:
