Hi
<^>Now you need to enable the configuration, make a symlink to the enabled sites:
ln -s /etc/sites-available/sub.test.com /etc/sites-enabled/sub.test.com<^>
I think it’s
ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/sub.test.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/sub.test.com

Hello,
You can easily make a website on any (sub)domain you would like to use.
First of all you would need the website files. You can put them somewhere inside /var/www
.
In this “tutorial” we will use /var/www/sub.test.com
You also need to have your DNS records setup properly, so your subdomain redirects to your droplet.
For example:
sub.test.com. 1800 IN A 123.345.234.4
Now you can configure nginx to serve a specific website on a specific domain. Make a new configuration in nginx (rename test.com to anything that reminds you of the config):
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/sub.test.com
Inside the configuration place and edit the following:
server {
listen 80;
root /var/www/sub.test.com;
index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name sub.test.com www.sub.test.com;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
}
<^>Inside this configuration modify the following to your specific setup:
Now you need to enable the configuration, make a symlink to the enabled sites:
ln -s /etc/sites-available/sub.test.com /etc/sites-enabled/sub.test.com
Last thing to do is restart nginx:
service nginx restart
You should now be able to check the website on your subdomain. Hope it will work, if you have any questions just ask!

Getting 502
There’s a mistake in this article… you’ve left out the /nginx directory. So:
ln -s /etc/sites-available/sub.test.com /etc/sites-enabled/sub.test.com
…should be…
ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/sub.test.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/sub.test.com
change this comand ln -s /etc/nginx /sites-available/sub.test.com /etc/sites-enabled/sub.test.com
to ln -s /etc/nginx /sites-available/sub.test.com /etc/sites-enabled/sub.test.com

follow this tutorial How To Set Up Nginx Server Blocks (Virtual Hosts) on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
after that just add CNAME for that subdomain in DNS settings if you need details on DNS settings, check this tutorial

Even I had the same requirement I followed this tutorial
