    I have Centmin Mod on another VPS and know that the Nginx root directory is:

    /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/public

    But whenever I use that as my root directory, the Nginx default welcome page still displays. The path to the root directory in /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/domain.com.conf shows:

    root /home/nginx/domains/boonradio.com/public; as per Centmin Mod "Getting Started."

    If I modify files in     /usr/local/nginx/html then changes will be made publicly.

    I'm confused as to why the path isn't     /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/public, and is /usr/local/nginx/html instead.

    Thanks!

    what does your /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/virtual.conf and /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/domain.com.conf contents look like ?

    check the Getting Started Guide as it explains step 1 ensuring main hostname is setup properly and that it's DNS resolves and check end of page to see the relationship between main hostname vhost and domain vhosts.

    make sure the server_name in virtual.conf resolves DNS wise to server ip address as well but that shouldn't cause your domain.com.conf to server /usr/local/nginx/html as rest of your respective nginx vhost look correct to me

    but make sure after making vhost changes you restart nginx server

    Still no luck. I compared config files and hosts file with my other VPS and still nothing.

    For it to be working in /usr/local/nginx/html but not /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/public?

    if server_name boonradio.com www.boonradio.com; doesn't resolve or nginx doesn't pick it up access to those domains might serve the default server's web root /usr/local/nginx/html for virtual.conf

    make sure you didn't mess up /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/boonradio.com.conf or have duplicate .conf by accident

    check what's listed on nginx vhost config directory

    Code:
    ls -lah /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/

    Fixed it. It was to do with the DNS as I didn't have the domain's Cloudflare pointing to the new server IP address.
