Sure.

It's up to you to find out what exactly, possible causes include:

1. You are testing your browser cache, not nginx.

2. You've failed to configure virtual hosts properly and testing 
wrong virtual host.

3. You've forgot to reload configuration and/or it wasn't reloaded 
due to errors in config.
