I have 3 sites on one droplet. The first two work fine, but as I add a third following this guide it directs itself to the first site I uploaded to the droplet. I’ve triple checked my symlinks between sites-enabled and sites-available, and the files themselves within (including having a www. and non www. listed in the server_name line), and I can’t understand why this would be happening when the second site never had this problem following the same method. I even restored a backup of my entire droplet and redid it, but the problem persists. Below are the two files under sites-available (the only difference being an SSL cert by certbot in the first site):
Original Site
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
root /var/www/anchoridea.com/html;
index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name anchoridea.com www.anchoridea.com;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
listen [::]:443 ssl ipv6only=on; # managed by Certbot
listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/anchoridea.com/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/anchoridea.com/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot
}
server {
if ($host = www.anchoridea.com) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
if ($host = anchoridea.com) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name anchoridea.com www.anchoridea.com;
return 404; # managed by Certbot
}
New Site
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
root /var/www/prairiestormpaintball.com/html;
index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name prairiestormpaintball.com www.prairiestormpaintball.com;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
}
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
