The warning message indicates that there are duplicate server blocks, or server names, in your Nginx configuration files. Nginx uses the server name to identify which server block to use for a request. If the same server name appears in two or more server blocks, Nginx can only use one, and the others are ignored.

As for the Nginx blocks and gunicorn. Here is an example of how to configure it:

Step 1: Configuring Gunicorn

Firstly, you need to configure Gunicorn to serve your web application. This involves creating a Gunicorn configuration file. You may already have this, but if not, here’s an example of how it could look:

# /etc/systemd/system/karnatakaagribusiness.service
[Unit]
Description=gunicorn daemon
After=network.target

[Service]
User=youruser
Group=www-data
WorkingDirectory=/var/www/karnatakaagribusiness.com
ExecStart=/var/www/karnatakaagribusiness.com/venv/bin/gunicorn --access-logfile - --workers 3 --bind unix:/var/www/karnatakaagribusiness.com/karnatakaagribusiness.sock yourapplication.wsgi:application

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Replace youruser with your username, yourapplication with your application name. Then start and enable the Gunicorn service:

sudo systemctl start karnatakaagribusiness
sudo systemctl enable karnatakaagribusiness

Step 2: Configuring Nginx Next, you need to create a new Nginx server block configuration file for your website.

# /etc/nginx/sites-available/karnatakaagribusiness
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name karnatakaagribusiness.com www.karnatakaagribusiness.com;
    
    location / {
        include proxy_params;
        proxy_pass http://unix:/var/www/karnatakaagribusiness.com/karnatakaagribusiness.sock;
    }

    location /static/ {
        alias /var/www/karnatakaagribusiness.com/static/;
    }

    location /media/ {
        alias /var/www/karnatakaagribusiness.com/media/;
    }
}

Then you need to enable the site by creating a symbolic link:

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/karnatakaagribusiness /etc/nginx/sites-enabled

After that, test Nginx configuration:

sudo nginx -t

If the test is successful, restart Nginx:

sudo systemctl restart nginx

You will need to repeat this process for each of your other sites, ensuring that you update the server names and root directories appropriately. Also, if you’re using SSL (https) you’ll need to add those settings to each server block as well.

Additionally, I’ll recommend starting over and adding the websites one by one and testing the application after each config that’s added.
