I have Ubuntu 17.10 and installed nginx/php7.1/mysql

Im trying to get nginx to work following this article->How To Set Up Nginx Server Blocks (Virtual Hosts) on Ubuntu 16.04

My current server block file:

##
# You should look at the following URL's in order to grasp a solid understanding
# of Nginx configuration files in order to fully unleash the power of Nginx.
# https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/
# https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/tutorials/config_pitfalls/
# https://wiki.debian.org/Nginx/DirectoryStructure
#
# In most cases, administrators will remove this file from sites-enabled/ and
# leave it as reference inside of sites-available where it will continue to be
# updated by the nginx packaging team.
#
# This file will automatically load configuration files provided by other
# applications, such as Drupal or Wordpress. These applications will be made
# available underneath a path with that package name, such as /drupal8.
#
# Please see /usr/share/doc/nginx-doc/examples/ for more detailed examples.

# Default server configuration

  • Try `sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean`, if it still not working, check your dns setting on your router or on your domain hosting setting. – hcheung Apr 18 '18 at 01:47
  • still cant get to work, how i can configure my dns setting ? have a tutorial ? – flashydev Apr 18 '18 at 12:50
  • are you using a hosting service or this is just a private server? – hcheung Apr 19 '18 at 08:52
  • are just local host – flashydev Apr 19 '18 at 11:37
  • Change the `server_name www.flashyweb.dev;` to `server_name localhost;` to see if it is working. I'm more familiar with Debian so not quite sure Ubuntu will be the same, did you set the `192.168.xxx.xxx www.flashyweb.dev` in `/etc/hosts`? You need to match the local IP with the domain name. – hcheung Apr 19 '18 at 13:10
  • Hi @flashydev could you fix the issue? I faced the similar problem and fixed it by setting primary DNS of my pc to 8.8.8.8 and secondary DNS to 9.9.9.9. But the thing is my site gives the same issue in many computers. So I think there should be a permanent solution. If you know the proper solution then please share it here.
