Why am i getting "Welcome to nginx! further configuration is required" when I type www.jamspaces.com instead of just jamspaces.com

Posted November 7, 2015
Nginx Deployment

So i am hosting two seperate domains on the same droplet by utlizing nginx and getting this error. Cant seem to figure out why as I have my other site set up identically and both cruxcalculator.com and www.cruxcalculator.com work fine.

When I run whois www.jamspaces.com I get absolutely no results. Totally confused if someone could explain what is going on it would be much appreciated!

so when I run whois jamspaces.com I get my DO name servers. when I run whois www.jamspaces.com I get “no match” super confusing to me…

$ORIGIN jamspaces.com.
$TTL 1800
jamspaces.com. IN SOA ns1.digitalocean.com. hostmaster.jamspaces.com. 1446855892 10800 3600 604800 1800

when you whois jamspaces.com are you getting the digital ocean name servers? This would look like : Name Server: NS1.DIGITALOCEAN.COM Name Server: NS2.DIGITALOCEAN.COM Name Server: NS3.DIGITALOCEAN.COM

I think your having an issue with the proper name servers not being set up, or you don’t have the correct Cname or A record set up in your Digital ocean networking dashboard for that specific domain.

Im not an expert but I had that issue and worked through these few steps
