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;

Create the
example.com
file in the/etc/nginx/sites-available/
and place the following in itNow symlink this file to
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/example.com
after restarting nginx it should be work.
for any debug :
You probably need to put example.com in /etc/hosts file:
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
