If I enter the IP in the URL box in the browser it takes well to my website. But if I enter the domain name, it takes me to the Welcome to Nginx web page.
How is that ? and how to fix it?

Hi @chefvillas ,
You are probably using the default nginx configuration file. If you would like to let nginx listen on a domain name, you will have to edit the configuration. Normally this would be either under
/usr/local/nginx
or
/etc/nginx
Then find the .conf file that is needed, and change the server_name:
listen 80;
server_name mydomain.com;
Hope this helps you out.
