Hello,
Warning - Complete newbie here.
I’ve followed the below guide “How To Set Up Django with Postgres, Nginx, and Gunicorn on Ubuntu 18.04” to set up my Django website.
Everything works fine when i search for my website via “website.com”, however when i search for “www.website.com” i get a welcome to nginx landing page.
I’ve attempted to fix this by adding the “www.” prefix version of my domain to the server_name line in my server block as per below.
server {
listen 80;
server_name website.com www.website.com;
location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location /static/ {
root /home/peter/websitedirectory;
}
location / {
include proxy_params;
proxy_pass http://unix:/run/gunicorn.sock;
}
}
However when running sudo nginx - t on the above, i get a warning:
nginx: [warn] conflicting server name: “www.website.com” on 0.0.0.0:443, ignored
I’m not entirely sure what this means. I feel like this should be relatively simple to fix, can anyone help? Thanks!

I had the same issue.
I took the code from Digital Ocean tutorial, thanks to them for these great articles! https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-nginx-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-20-04
Hey,
I am not sure if you still need this but what worked for was to add below to /etc/nginx/sites-available/yourprojectname:
server { if ($host = www.example.com) { return 301 https://$host$request_uri; } # managed by Certbot
}
I didn’t disable default file just added that- of course adjust to your domain.
Your default file has
server_name _;
which will match any host (including what you’re seeing with www.website.com). Just disable the “default” file completely. Also change this line:To
And change this line:
To:
Then restart Nginx.

What do you get when you search for www.website.com in the nginx directory?
grep “www.website.com” -r /etc/nginx
