I have a website say www.example.com
I redirected and changed my nameservers to point to digitalocean servers I have.
Unfortunately the website is redirecting by default to /var/www and showing index.html content.
Instead I want to redirect the example.com to /var/www/example folder

What should I do?

How To Set Up nginx Virtual Hosts (Server Blocks) on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
by Etel Sverdlov
This tutorial shows you how to set up a new directory, how to grant the correct permissions, how to add content to a new page, how to turn on virtual hosting, and how to, if needed, set up local hosts. Virtual Hosts are used to run more than one website or domain off of a single server and IP address. When used with nginx, virtual hosts are called Server Blocks. This tutorial covers setting up server blocks on an Ubuntu server.

Hello aguilar,
We have setup virtual hosts properly.
But the problem we are facing is something like this.

Eg: I have two websites www.example1.com and www.example2.com

When I set up my website, example1 it works fine and its content shows up. But when I setup example2 with its content. Even example1 starts showing the content of example2.

When I check their paths in the etc/sitesavailable, It has correctly different paths.

For example1 its /var/www/example1/publichtml
For example2 its /var/www/example2/publichtml

Even though the paths are setup differently the contents of example1 gets overwrite with the contents of example2

Kindly help us out.
