So I'm trying to learn some web server configuration stuff. I've successfully installed nginx with php, and so on. I was in the process of trying to point my domain to my VPS, and that portion is also finished. The problem is however, currently I have two configurations in nginx/sites-enabled/, mydomain.com, and default.
When going to my domain, It successfully connects, however it does not pull up the test page I have for the domain (where root is set in mydomain.com), but rather goes to the page that is setup in default. the configuration for both is below. What do I need to do to have my domain point to the correct directory?
default:
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
index index.html index.htm index.php;
# Make site accessible from http://localhost/
server_name localhost;
location / {
# First attempt to serve request as file, then
# as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
#try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
# Uncomment to enable naxsi on this location
# include /etc/nginx/naxsi.rules
}
location /doc/ {
alias /usr/share/doc/;
autoindex on;
allow 127.0.0.1;
allow ::1;
deny all;
}
# Only for nginx-naxsi used with nginx-naxsi-ui : process denied requests
#location /RequestDenied {
# proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
#}
#error_page 404 /404.html;
# redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
#
#error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
#location = /50x.html {
# root /usr/share/nginx/html;
#}
# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
#
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
# NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini
# With php5-cgi alone:
# fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
# With php5-fpm:
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
# deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
# concurs with nginx's one
#
#location ~ /\.ht {
# deny all;
#}
}
mydomain.com:
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
root /usr/share/nginx/html/mydomain.com;
index index.html index.htm index.php;

Best Answer
Remove those location stanzas. You shouldn't need them.
Also remove
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
.Are you sure you are not accidentally pre-pending a www.?
IIRC you should need a workers_connection line
Have you checked your error log?
