Virtual Hosts Issue on Nginx

Posted on February 3, 2014

Hi, so I set up my two sites by using the article posted here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-nginx-virtual-hosts-server-blocks-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts--3

However, when I navigate to the second site I setup it displays the first site instead, so I have two domains pointing to the same content. I had this issue once already and reset my droplet to start over anew just in case I had messed something up installing everything… but it still persists.

I am on Ubuntu 12.04.3 x64 with a standard LEMP stack, nothing else installed.

First site ‘sites-available’ file: http://pastebin.com/9p178DJc

Second site ‘sites-available’ file: http://pastebin.com/sLWgCRhV

Thanks in advance. -Z

Do both files exist in <code>sites-enabled</code>?

They are symbolic links back to the <code>sites-available</code> files. I just made sure that they are linked and it appears they are. <br> <br>If I try to navigate to and edit the <code>sites-enabled</code> directory, it opens the <code>sites-available</code>. Which is I believe working correctly.

Hmm. Have you tried restarting nginx?
