Hey all,
I’ve followed this tutorial:
On how to set up a server block. My main site is running fine, but when I try to navigate to my test site I keep getting the main site rather than the test site. I’ve of course configured my document root to the test folder’s root. In my DNS I created an @ record and pointed to the IP.
For some reason no matter what I do it keeps giving me the main site even though i’m not pointing to my main site’s root. Any ideas? @asb
This guy had the same problem but his solution didn’t work for me:

have you created different nginx and php-fpm conf file configure it it ll work
Hey @karankotak94 yes my test site and main site have different config files. What do you mean by the php-fpm config file? Can you explain this a bit more please?
ok @larrywilliamsjr lets start from the beginning the site which is working ( eg. main.com ) you have to create same site for testing ( eg. sub.com )
now go to cd /etc/nginx/conf.d/main.conf or where ever is your main site conf file is cp main.conf sub.conf chmod 755 sub.conf cd copy the path where is your all files are located ( eg. html/main/) vi sub.conf i server name sub.com www.sub.com root {files pathe } . . location / { root path; index index.php index.html index.htm; } . . (this path will be in comment so copy this and past it ) location ~ .php$ { root file path; fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9002; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; include fastcgi_params; } . . uncomment this location ~ /.ht { deny all; } … now where ever is your php-fpm.conf file is find it i use to keep it /etc/php-fpm.d/*.conf cp www.conf sub.conf chmod 755 sub.conf vi sub.conf i [sub] . . listen = 127.0.0.1:9002 …
since you have created hosting account for your sub.com site which the name server pointed on main site…(ns.main.com) so it will work if not then we ll find another better way. {for any server or hosting you can visit http://www.invanos.com/manage/cart.php} visit http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/article/installing-nginx-and-php-fpm-setup-for-nginx
