Nginx

Hi! I added new updated files for my website. I restarted Nginx and it still showing the old files and newer ones are missing or still didn’t update.

Hi there @SephiaSky,

I think that you might have to delete your default index file and change it with your own index.html file.

Can you share your Nginx configuration here and the content of your /var/www/html folder? To do that you can run:

cat /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

And to check the content of your html folder you can run:

ls -lah /var/www/html

Regards,
Bobby

Thanks for the reply, Bobby! I just view my website again. And, it seems to be updated now. Just what I expect it to be but it wasn’t like that earlier. Do you know why is there is a delay?

  Hi there @SephiaSky,
  
  This is most likely your browser’s cache. What you could do next time is to refresh the page a few times by pressing CTRL+F5, that way the browser would be forced to reload all of its caches for the specific website.
  
  Hope that this helps!
  Regards,
  Bobby
