Nginx not displaying ServerBlocks

Question

I'm working on a mac, using VirtualBox and Ubuntu server 20.04 using a Bridged Connection. I have set up the Nginx server and the default page is loading. I was able to edit /var/www/html/index.html to say hello world. I can view this default page by visiting http://ip/.

The server blocks files in /var/www/ are named 'html' (the default), 'site1' and 'site2' All the 'site' maps have a html map inside of them, containing index.html with some HelloWorld text inside of them.

All the above code/info should be correct. Therefore, I assume that the error is in the configuration.

/etc/nginx/sites-enabled contain 3 files. 'default', 'site1' and 'site2'. I will show the 'default' file and the 'site1' file in the code below.

Going to http://site1/ results in an error page, chrome displays an IP error instead of the index.html file.

Could someone show me what I'm doing wrong?

Site1 file:

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;

    root /var/www/site1/html;
    index index.html index htm index.nginx-debian.html;

    server_name site1 www.site1;

    location / {
            try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }
}

Default file:

server {
    listen 80 default_server;
    listen [::]:80 default_server;

    root /var/www/html;

    index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

    server_name _;

    location / {
            try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }

}

192.168.178.52 is your private ip. No one can use that.

Your server_name site1 www.site1; is wrong because there are not any local domain names like site1 or www.site1 that configured in your computer to route to 127.0.0.1.

So you need to config a local domain on your computer so whenever you browse site1 or www.site1 they will be routed to 127.0.0.1. On ubuntu, just change the /etc/hosts file to sth like this:

127.0.0.1   localhost
127.0.0.1   site1
127.0.1.1   www.site1

However im not sure how to make samething done on MacOS because i have never use mac lol. But I found a link that might help you :
