Hi all,

I am trying to solve this issue for few weeks to no avail :( I am trying to set up multiple websites in my Ubuntu 16.04 droplet by following this guide: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-host-multiple-websites-securely-with-nginx-and-php-fpm-on-ubuntu-14-04

Problem is, domain1.com does NOT work (it shows empty pages), while domain2.com works fine.

I have this error and I do not know why:

$ php-fpm7.0 -y /etc/php/7.0/fpm/php-fpm.conf
[20-Apr-2017 16:48:28.895668] ERROR: pid 14360, fpm_sockets_new_listening_socket(), line 182: An another FPM instance seems to already listen on /var/run/php/php7.0-fpm-domain1.sock
[20-Apr-2017 16:48:28.895927] ERROR: pid 14360, fpm_init(), line 74: FPM initialization failed

These are the processes for php-fpm:
