why site is not redirecting with nginx

Question

I am trying to redirect the domain example.com to another website example.blogspot.com (which is not hosted in my server).

I had been using htaccess and cpanel, so it was easy to redirect. But why redirect is not working in nginx.

No effects seen with following way in the version nginx/1.15.10 and latest vesta control panel,

Still showing the default page (index.html) generated by vesta control panel. Should I have to change in public_html ? Or restart server ?

I have edited nginx.conf with following code.

method 1

http{
    server{
        listen          80;
        server_name     example.com www.example.com;
        return          301 https://example.blogspot.com$request_uri;
    }
    .....
}

method 2

http{
    server{
        listen [::]:80;
        listen          80;
        server_name     example.com www.example.com;
        return          301 https://example.blogspot.com$request_uri;
    }
    .....
}

method 3

http{
    server { 
        server_name .example.com;
        return 301 $scheme://example.blogspot.com;
    }
    ....

}

restarting ngix after save

sudo service nginx restart
sudo systemctl restart nginx

Finally, adding Server Ip address with listen port redirect domain

http{
    server{
        listen          my.server.ip.address:80;
        server_name     example.com www.example.com;
        return          301 https://example.blogspot.com$request_uri;
    }
    .....
}
