Noob questions

Hello,

I have come across some noob questions with the initial installation of Centmin Mod. I've used it plenty of times in the past for XenForo but got to the point where I no longer run a forum so I stopped using Centmin Mod since then. With that being said, I am rusty when it comes to setting it up and I feel like I've got this big brain fart.

---

I did a fresh install of the Centmin Mod BETA and started thoroughly reading the Getting Started Guide and I'm stuck on the basic hostname, vhost, and root directory setup. Once my initial install completed, I ran uname -n and it outputs ryder.mydomain.com which is the hostname I registered with my VPS company. In Step 1, it mentions that uname -n should output the same hostname as what I registered with my VPS company, which it does. It also mentions that I need to take the 'ryder' and create an A record pointing to my VPS IP, which I also did. I then used Option #2 and created a vhost with mydomain.com and for some reason, it's wanting to use the default Centmin Mod page located at /usr/local/nginx/html and not /home/nginx/domains/mydomain.com/public/. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but I swear this never happened to me before when I used Centmin Mod.

Any ideas? I am using Centos 7 64-Bit as my OS.

Thanks!

 

It returned:

/usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/mydomain.com.conf:9:#            server_name mydomain.com;
/usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/mydomain.com.conf:10:#            return 301 $scheme://wwwmydomain.com.com$request_uri;
/usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/mydomain.com.conf:15:  server_name mydomain.com www.mydomain.com;
/usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/mydomain.com.conf:29:  access_log /home/nginx/domains/mydomain.com.com/log/access.log combined buffer=256k flush=5m;
/usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/mydomain.com.conf:30:  error_log /home/nginx/domains/mydomain.com/log/error.log;
/usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/mydomain.com.conf:32:  include /usr/local/nginx/conf/autoprotect/mydomain.com/autoprotect-mydomain.com.conf;
/usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/mydomain.com.conf:33:  root /home/nginx/domains/mydomain.com/public;
/usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/virtual.conf:3:            server_name ryder.mydomain.com;

So what I need to do is go into /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/virtual.conf and /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/mydomain.com.conf and set the hostname to something different than ryder.mydomain.com?
