Nginx server_name command being ignored (14 replies)

Hi, I'm running ubuntu server 12.04 and the latest version of nginx. The problem I am having is that nginx seems to be ignoring the server_name command, I am able to access the server by going to the IP address of the server or by going to the server's name (http://ubuntuserver/) but http://test/ will give me nothing, no connection, not even an error page. I have checked that the website file (in enabled-sites) is included in the nginx.conf file and I have correctly restarted nginx having changed settings. I have tried with the whole server block stripped down to just the server_name designation and still I can't get anything at http://test/ and in this case I get an expected error page on http://ubuntuserver/

I can only deduce that for some reason the "server_name" command is being ignored!

If anyone could give me any advice with regards to this then it would be much appreciated.

Code from file "www" in "enabled-sites":

server {
add_header Cache-Control public;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log main buffer=32k;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log error;
expires max;
limit_req zone=gulag burst=200 nodelay;
listen 127.0.0.1:80 sndbuf=128k;
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
server_name test;
}
