Question
When going to my server in the browser, it shows the CentOS welcome page instead of nginx. How can I fix that?
I am running CentOS 7 on a droplet that I’ll be using as a web server. When I go to http://my_server_ip, it displays the “Welcome to CentOS” page.
I’ve followed the instructions to install, start, and enable nginx, but I still see the CentOS (not the nginx) welcome page.
Instructions from DO on installing nginx that I followed: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-nginx-on-debian-10
I also found that even when I turn off nginx, I still am able to get to that webpage, so it leads me to believe that this is interfering somehow.
I’ve also run the command “sudo netstat -tulpn” with the following result, but I don’t see anything listening on port 80, so I’m a bit confused:
