I think that's the problem also. After doing that, curl returns 404
Not Found aswell. I then changed root from html to something else just
to test it was using a different configuration file. I changed it on
both:

/usr/local/nginx-1.4.3/conf/nginx.conf
/usr/local/nginx/conf-1.4.3/nginx.conf.default

but localhost still returns the main nginx welcome index page and not
the index.html in my test root dir that was in /var/www/testing

I ran the linux command "locate" and here's its output..

:~$ locate nginx.conf
/home/matthew/src/nginx-1.4.3/conf/nginx.conf
/usr/local/nginx-1.4.3/conf/.nginx.conf.swp
/usr/local/nginx-1.4.3/conf/nginx.conf
/usr/local/nginx-1.4.3/conf/nginx.conf.default
/usr/local/nginx-1.4.3/conf/nginx.conf~

I wasn't aware of the 1st result returned so i also edited this conf
file. But still no luck. I have no idea where to look for the file or
how to pick a default one for nginx to always use:(
