Hi everyone,

I'm pretty new to nginx, but so far really dig it. I currently have 2 domains set up on my local testing server, propzsearch.com and advancedaudioengineering.com.

Both of these sites work fine, however I am noticing that as I try to add new things to the server (phpmyadmin, a mail server, etc etc) that everything new I add whenever I try to visit it in a browser, just get's redirected to my 2nd domain name (advancedaudioengineering.com), and even if I try to access localhost, it get's directed as well.

So https://localhost/phpmyadmin ends up redirecting to https://www.advancedaudioengeering.com

This is puzzling to me, and I figure it's probably just a lack of understanding on my part about how nginx is configured.

So here is my default conf file, which I assume handles localhost and anything else that doesn't fall under a domain name.

# Default server configuration (default.conf)
#
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
root /var/www/html;

# Add index.php to the list if you are using PHP
index index.php index.html index.htm;

server_name localhost;

location / {
# First attempt to serve request as file, then
# as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}

# pass PHP scripts to FastCGI server
#
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
}
}


and here is my aae.com conf file (which is almost identical to my propzsearch.com conf file)
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name www.advancedaudioengineering.com;
set $base /var/www/www.advancedaudioengineering.com;
root $base/html;

# SSL
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.advancedaudioengineering.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.advancedaudioengineering.com/privkey.pem;
ssl_trusted_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.advancedaudioengineering.com/chain.pem;

# security
include nginxconfig.io/security.conf;

# index.php
index index.php;

# index.php fallback
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}

# additional config
include nginxconfig.io/general.conf;
include nginxconfig.io/wordpress.conf;

# handle .php
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
include nginxconfig.io/php_fastcgi.conf;
}
}

# subdomains redirect
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name *.www.advancedaudioengineering.com;

# SSL
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.advancedaudioengineering.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.advancedaudioengineering.com/privkey.pem;
ssl_trusted_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.advancedaudioengineering.com/chain.pem;
return 301 https://www.propzsearch.com$request_uri;
}

# HTTP redirect
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name .www.advancedaudioengineering.com;
include nginxconfig.io/letsencrypt.conf;

location / {
return 301 https://www.advancedaudioengineering.com$request_uri;
}
}

So I figure there's probably a simple solution to restore localhost and other things (phpmyadmin, mail.propzsearch.com) to working order, I'm just stumped as to what I'm missing.

thanks everyone!
