Nginx Domains Multiple domains setup

Altair · May 25, 2020

I have centos 7 and latest centmin mod installed, I created first vhost via cetmin menu, then after a month I'm creating another website on same server, so I just created a new vhost via cetmin menu, and I'm using cloudflare for dns and pointed 2nd domain to server ip.

however, when I uploaded site files to public/ directory of my new domain, I browsed the website and I'm getting:

Centmin Mod Nginx Test Page

even though I deleted the default index, also nginx vhost is configured right as it points
root /home/nginx/domains/example.com/public;

I even downloaded index.html from public and it's the new index, but accessing the site I just get centmin mod nginx test page

why this is happening

Run this command and see what happens:
Code (Text):
nprestart
Sometimes when I delete the files, they remain until I restart nginx.

Also, make sure you're using the right version of your site (http/https/www/non-www).

You might want to post your nginx vhost config file for others to take a look at.

tried that didn't work

vhost file is just the default created for what domain I entered when creating vhost in centmin sh menu

any assistance?

Is the 2nd domain created with Letsencrypt SSL and default to HTTPS with non-HTTPS to HTTPS redirect ? If so ensure Cloudflare is using Full SSL and not Flexible SSL so Cloudflare can speak to HTTPS Nginx origin backend server.

I'm using cloudflare dns only, also I didn't create ssl certificate so I'm using the vhost for http only

When you create a new nginx vhost domain via centmin.sh menu option 2 or menu option 22 or via /usr/bin/nv cli command line, you will create the Nginx vhost files and directories. You will get an outputted the path location where it will create the domain name's vhost conf file named newdomain.com.conf (and newdomain.com.ssl.conf if you selected yes to self signed SSL)

Nginx vhost conf path will be at /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/newdomain.com.conf

Nginx HTTP/2 SSL vhost conf path will be at /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/newdomain.com.ssl.conf

Nginx Self-Signed SSL Certificate Directory at /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl/newdomain.com

Vhost public web root will be at /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public

Vhost log directory will be at /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/log

Please post the contents of /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/newdomain.com.conf and if applicable /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/newdomain.com.ssl.conf wrapped in CODE tags (outlined at How to use forum BBCODE code tags)

so why do I get default centmin mod page? should I delete the site then re create it? also I uploaded through sftp root the files into domain /public directory.

When creating the site, I only used centmin menu option, should I map the domain to server ip or something? this is 2nd domain and my hostname is correct on a 1st domain

eva2000 · May 27, 2020

strange this time curl -I https://domain.com didn't work like it did before.

When you install Centmin Mod it's setup a main hostname nginx vhost host for server which is where Nginx default install index page is shown. Accessing server via IP address will show that page and it's correct and should be left as is as the main hostname site is also used for statistics pages outlined here. When you create a new Nginx vhost site via centmin.sh menu option 2, 22 or nv commands, you have a separate Nginx vhost directory structure. The differences are outlined on official Config file page and at Getting Started Guide step 1 and bottom of that page here.

Summary
End result is that visiting:

hostname.newdomain.com should have a valid working DNS entry (either an A record pointing to server's IP address or CNAME entry) and should go to default Nginx setup page which is controlled via Nginx vhost configuration file at /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/virtual.conf with document root at /usr/local/nginx/html

newdomain.com should also have a valid DNS entry preferably A record pointing to server IP address and go to your site's pages controlled via Nginx vhost configuration file at /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/newdomain.com.conf with document root at /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public

Click to expand...

If your site domain name when visited redirects to main hostname and default nginx index page, then that is usually due to the main hostname being same as the site domain name which is incorrect as they need to differ.

What does your /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/virtual.conf and /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/yourdomain.com.conf contents look like ? Make sure virtual.conf main hostname's server_name isn't same as any added nginx vhost site's domain name as per Getting Started Guide step 1, the main hostname needs to be unique.

You can check via recursive grep filter of your domain name in vhost directory at /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d
Code (Text):
grep -rnw 'yourdomain.com' /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d
Also check DNS is correct use dig to check DNS for domain
Code (Text):
dig +short A @8.8.8.8 yourdomain.com
dig +short A @8.8.8.8 www.yourdomain.com
dig +short A @8.8.8.8 hostname.yourdomain.com
check HTTP headers via curl for both HTTP (and HTTPS if you have HTTPS/SSL)
Code (Text):
curl -I http://yourdomain.com
curl -I http://www.yourdomain.com
curl -I https://yourdomain.com
curl -I https://www.yourdomain.com
curl -I http://hostname.yourdomain.com

If yours is returning empty then your /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/yourdomain.com.conf isn't registering in Nginx - it's server_name listing is what tells Nginx to direct yourdomain.com listed in server_name to the correct Nginx site web root.

I'm sorry but it does return something when I tried it again:

Code (Text):

That all looks correct, yourdomain.com with DNS A records for non-www and www pointing to server IP should when accessed via yourdomain.com should go to yourdomain.com.conf listed server_name yourdomain.com at web root defined by
Code (Text):
root /home/nginx/domains/REDACTED.com/public;
Do you have more than 1 IP address added to your Centmin Mod server ? Have more than one Centmin Mod server on Linode ? Are you sure you didn't mistype the IP address for DNS record to a 2nd Centmin Mod server cause if it's a 2nd Centmin Mod server IP, because yourdomain.com.conf Nginx vhost won't exist on that server so access via yourdomain.com will go to 2nd Centmin Mod server's default main hostname Nginx test page instead.

wow you just nailed it! I had mistakenly put the ip of another linode server I own in cloudflare dns only a record!
Now I've put the correct ip and now everything works!

thanks eva you're a smart person. Hope centmin mod get acquired by some high end company to make up for your efforts in centmin mod

ps: when creating new site via centmin mod menu option 2: and then asks for FTP I entered user and password manually, but when trying to login via filezilla I mostly get connection refused, with host as the ip address of the server. any articles on ftp?

Sure you didn't enter the wrong IP into Filezilla's IP field ?
