nginx linux Virtual Host not working properly with example.com-CodePudding

Virtual Host not working

i created a virtual host in nginx ubuntu for example.com but when i go to example.com it shows the original example.com

This a virtual host file /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/example.com

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;

    server_name example.com;

    root /var/www/example.com;
    index index.html;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }
}

This is nginx.conf

user www-data;
worker_processes auto;
pid /run/nginx.pid;
include /etc/nginx/modules-enabled/*.conf;

events {
    worker_connections 768;
    # multi_accept on;

nginx version: nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu)

Create the example.com file in the /etc/nginx/sites-available/ and place the following in it

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;

    server_name example.com;

    root /var/www/example.com/;
    index index.html index.php;

    location / {
            try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }

}

Now symlink this file to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/example.com

ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/example.com  /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/example.com

after restarting nginx it should be work.

nginx -s reload

for any debug :

nginx -t

CodePudding user response：

You probably need to put example.com in /etc/hosts file:

127.0.0.1 example.com

This overrules the DNS as set for the real example.com and will make your computer go to the local version instead of the original

sudo echo '127.0.0.1  example.com' >> /etc/hosts
