Hi Francis,
Its a brand new server setup.
I have no problem sharing the config files - ill just sanitize the actual websites. But everything else is 100% as is.
Here is the full nginx.conf file from /etc/nginx
cat /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

worker_processes 1;
worker_rlimit_nofile 100000;

I have made no changes to any phpmyadmin config files.
If i go to website1.com/phpmyadmin - the phpmyadmin login page is served. There are no changes to the url - it stays website1.com/phpmyadmin
This is the article i followd to install an secure phpmyadmin - i did everything on that page except change the /phpmyadmin location name. (this is where the symlink came into it)
So to me that symlink tells nginx too server phpmyadmin php pages for the web server - am i correct?
If i remove that symlink - and then just create symlinks for the websites themselves - ive found it doesnt make a difference.
eg - a symlink for website.com exisits pointing to /usr/share/phpmyadmin. So im telling nginx to serve phpmyadmin php files for that website only and not the whole server which the /usr/share/phpmyadmin /usr/share/nginx/html symlink does.
Here is the output of nginx -T | grep 'server\|location' as requested (ive cut out website2 and website3 bits as they are not relevant as they are just copies of .com and 1.com (.com and 2.com need access 1.com and 3.com dont
