Hello,

I purchased a droplet yesterday with Ubuntu 14.04x64. Here is what I have installed:

• NGINX (I followed this article: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-nginx-server-blocks-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-14-04-lts)
• php and mysql (I followed this article: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-nginx-mysql-php-lemp-stack-on-ubuntu-14-04 and https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-laravel-with-an-nginx-web-server-on-ubuntu-14-04)

I opened my /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file and and changed its configuration like this:

user www-data;
worker_processes 1;
pid /run/nginx.pid;

events {
        worker_connections 1024;
        multi_accept on;
}

}

#               protocol   imap;

#               proxy      on;
#       }
#}

I also opened /sites-available and i created two files: web1 and web2. The content of we1 is:

server {
        listen 80 default_server;
        listen [::]:80 ipv6only=on default_server;

        root /var/www/web1;
        index index.php index.html index.htm;

        server_name web1.com;

        location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
        }

        location ~ \.php$ {
                try_files $uri /index.php =404;
                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
                include fastcgi_params;
        }
}

The content of web2 is:

server {
        listen 80;
        listen [::]:80;

        root /var/www/web2;
        index index.php index.html index.htm;

        server_name web2.com;

        location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
        }

        location ~ \.php$ {
                try_files $uri /index.php =404;
                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
                include fastcgi_params;
        }
}

Also, the directories: /var/www/web1 and /var/www/web2 have index.html files. The domains web1.com and web2.com have DNS records to the servers of Digital Ocean and also they have A records pointing to the droplet.

Also I have created soft link to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled. Here are they:

web1 -> /etc/nginx/sites-available/web1
web2 -> /etc/nginx/sites-available/web2

I restarted nginx: service nginx reload

And here is the issue:

• When I try to access web1.com from my web browser it returns my a message “This webpage is not available”.
• When I execute a curl request from another server:

curl web1.com

I get the expected content which is in the index.html file.

I searched a lot in Google and I can’t anyone with identical issue. Can anyone help me please?

Ou, and before I forget, I checked port 80

netstat -tulpn | grep :80

and here is what I get:

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:80              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      6001/nginx
tcp6       0      0 :::80                   :::*                    LISTEN      6001/nginx
