How to setup subdomain on nginx server?

Question

Zone file $ORIGIN downjustfor.me. $TTL 1800 downjustfor.me. IN SOA ns1.digitalocean.com. hostmaster.downjustfor.me. 1415711275 10800 3600 604800 1800 downjustfor.me. 1800 IN NS ns1.digitalocean.com. downjustfor.me. 1800 IN NS ns2.digitalocean.com. downjustfor.me. 1800 IN NS ns3.digitalocean.com. downjustfor.me. 1800 IN A 178.62.153.244 test.downjustfor.me. 1800 IN A 178.62.153.244 www.downjustfor.me. 1800 IN CNAME downjustfor.me. I run sudo cp /etc/nginx/sites-available/default /etc/nginx/sites-available/test Then edited that file and changed only listen 80 default_server; #listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on; root /var/www/test/mysite/public; index index.php index.html index.htm; server_name test.downjustfor.me; and of course restarted nginx server but when I go to http://test.downjustfor.me it’s show my original page. What I doing wrong?

Yes I needed to link test to sites-enabled. Thank you.

You DNS records seem to be set up correctly, so this does seem to be an issue with your Nginx configuration. Have you linked /etc/nginx/sites-available/test to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/test sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/test /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ And of course, remember to restart Nginx so that it pick up the changes: sudo service nginx restart For more info, check out this tutorial: How To Set Up Nginx Server Blocks (Virtual Hosts) on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Nginx requires you to setup subdomain in almost the same way you add a new domain. You need to do proper 5 steps to add the subdomain or any addon domain, check them out listed here: https://nabtron.com/add-subdomain-nginx/ Let me know if the issue remains.
