After over 10 hours of research I have not figured out why this doesn't work! I am trying to move my localhost to my sites-enabled folder which is in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default.
It IS a symlink from the sites-available folder. When using the following configuration I get an "unable to connect" using localhost:8080 as my address
nginx.conf (/usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf):
user www-data;
worker_processes 2;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
sendfile on;
keepalive_timeout 65;
include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
}
sites-available (/etc/nginx/sites-available/default):
server {
listen 8080;
root /home/myusername/myown/customdirectory;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
server_name localhost;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
}
location /doc/ {
alias /usr/share/doc/;
autoindex on;
allow 127.0.0.1;
allow ::1;
deny all;
}
error_page 404 /404.html;
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root /usr/share/nginx/www;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
I can get this working if I put the relevant info from sites available to the nginx.conf, I just can't figure out why it doesn't work this way?
Thanks!
