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 :)

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

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
