I have a website and am trying to create a subdomain. However, the subdomain is loading the root directory of example.com, instead of loading the root directory of sub.example.com. Here are my Nginx configuration files:
Subdomain configuration file:
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name sub.example.com;
}
server {
# SSL configuration
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
include snippets/ssl-example.com.conf;
include snippets/ssl-params.conf;
#
# Note: You should disable gzip for SSL traffic.
# See: https://bugs.debian.org/773332 #
# Read up on ssl_ciphers to ensure a secure configuration.
# See: https://bugs.debian.org/765782
#
# Self signed certs generated by the ssl-cert package
# Don't use them in a production server!
#
# include snippets/snakeoil.conf;
root /var/www/sub/html;
# Add index.php to the list if you are using PHP
index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
location / {
# First attempt to serve request as file, then
# as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
try_files $uri $uri.html $uri.php $uri/ =404;
}
location ~ /.well-known {
allow all;
}
# pass PHP scripts to FastCGI server
#
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
#
# # With php-fpm (or other unix sockets):
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
# # With php-cgi (or other tcp sockets):
# fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
}
location @extensionless-php {
rewrite ^(.*)$ $1.php last;
}
# deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
# concurs with nginx's one
#
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
Main domain configuration file:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
server_name example.com www.example.com;
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
server {
# SSL configuration
listen 443 ssl http2 default_server;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2 default_server;
include snippets/ssl-example.com.conf;
include snippets/ssl-params.conf;
root /var/www/html;
index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
location / {
#try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
location ~ /.well-known {
allow all;
}
location = /favicon.ico { log_not_found off; access_log off; }
location = /robots.txt { log_not_found off; access_log off; allow all; }
location ~* \.(css|gif|ico|jpeg|jpg|js|png)$ {
expires max;
log_not_found off;
}
location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|ico|css|js|woff|woff2)$ {
expires 365d;
}
location ~* \.(pdf)$ {
expires 30d;
}
# Ensure requests for pagespeed optimized resources go to the pagespeed
# handler and no extraneous headers get set.
location ~ "\.pagespeed\.([a-z]\.)?[a-z]{2}\.[^.]{10}\.[^.]+" { add_header "" ""; }
location ~ "^/ngx_pagespeed_static/" { }
location ~ "^/ngx_pagespeed_beacon" { }
}
I know that it is not getting the correct root domain because if I visit, for example, example.com/testpage.html, I can type sub.example.com/testpage.html and it loads the exact same thing, for any page I try.
Also, visiting sub.example.com redirects to example.com.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

So, as @Richard Smith and @EEAA said, it is simply a case of not having separate server blocks.
