That looks correct to me, thanks.

When you do the "reload", do you get anything new at the end of the
error_log file, probably /var/log/nginx/error.log?

If, for example, there is a config file error, then "reload" will not
actually use the new file, and there should be something saying why.


If that shows no problems, then something like

  nginx -T | grep 'server\|listen'

should show the "server" blocks, "listen" directives, and "server_name"
configurations that nginx will use.

If you consider any of the information there private -- names, or
public IP addresses, for example -- feel free to edit them; but please
do so consistently, so that any patterns remain visible.

That configuration fragment may make it possible to learn which server{}
nginx uses to handle your test request.

Cheers,
