Hey guys, I'm having problems. I'm a little new to nginx, and I've set it up on my server. I redirected my domains to it, and I'm getting a "Server not found"

The site *does* work when I just enter in the IP, since I have the default server set up with a localhost that goes to /home/mainsite/public_html/

So when I go to: http://100.100.100.100/folder/file.php, everything works.

However, the nameserver I'm using is supposed to be going to a different folder than /home/mainsite/public_html/. It needs to go to /home/gamesite/public_html/

This is my /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default:
server {
listen 80 default;
server_name localhost;

access_log /var/log/nginx/localhost.access.log;

location / {
root /home/mainsite/public_html;
index index.php index.html;
}

# MORE BELOW
}

This is my /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/gamesite:
server {

listen 80; ## listen for ipv4

server_name *.gamesite.com;

access_log /var/log/nginx/flariusgames.com.access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/flariusgames.com.error.log;

location / {
root /home/gamesite/public_html/;
index index.php index.html;
}

# MOREBELOW
}

I've changed the server name to gamesite.com, but no matter what, I run into problems. Another strange thing is that when I go to http://gamesite.com, it loads up www.gamesite.com, so I don't know if this is a DNS issure or something. And if it is, I don't really know how to do that...

Can someone please help?

Okay, I'm really confused now. I just changed default to point to a nonsense directory, and restarted nginx, and nothing changed at all....

server {
listen 80 default;
server_name *.nonsense.com;

access_log /var/log/nginx/localhost.access.log;

location / {
root /home/pointless/directory;
index index.php index.html;
}
}

And yet the directories that I previously set up are still working perfectly normal after a successful restart of nginx. How is that file being ignored? And/or why? What am I missing here? Isn't the whole point of those files to direct to the directories I have? That was how I got things working in the first place... I'm so lost...

Edit: Wait, nevermind.. it cached it or something. Now it seems to broken, as I was expecting it to be.

New update... I modified the default file so that it connected to "_" (the "catch all" one) and the DNS still will not connect. So I'm assuming this isn't an nginx configuration issue, correct? Because if it were, the DNS wouldn't be hitting a server not found?

If someone could help me with this regardless, it would be appreciated.
