Does defult server still exist after I add a server block to http block?-CodePudding

My nginx.conf file doesn’t contain a server block inside the http block so I assume it uses a default server on port 80. However, I’ve been unable to find confirmation of this.

I’m wondering if I now add this server block inside my http block:

server { 
    listen              443 ssl;
    server_name         www.example.com;
    ssl_certificate     www.example.com.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key www.example.com.key;
}

Does my assumed default server still exist or has my new server overridden it to now be the default?

CodePudding user response：

If you provide no default explicitly (using the "default_server" parameter in the listen directive) nginx will use either the server matching the one named in the Host: header of the request or, lacking that, the first one it finds in your config.
