that's a funny place to hide the https server block

Would you please add 3 backticks before and after that data. Will be much easier to read

[zzzniczxz]

my bad sir im kinda newbie in this work hahaha

[MikeMcQ]

OK, I understand what you have now. In your first post you said you didn't need the mwiki cert anymore. Do you want to try to re-create it? Or, do you just want to delete it so nginx can start again?

[zzzniczxz]

yes sir that's why I removed it manually. I want to delete so that nginx can start again.

[MikeMcQ]

Once we get nginx started, do you want to make the mwiki cert again?

[zzzniczxz]

nope sir only the staging.taktylstudios.com is needed, I only created the mwiki.taktylstudios.com for testing purposes.

[MikeMcQ]

OK, that makes it easy. Just delete these two files:

rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mwiki.taktylstudios.com.conf

Then, try this again

sudo nginx -t

[zzzniczxz]

sudo nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

whoo i think nginx is running now thanks a lot for your help and time I really appreciate it!

[MikeMcQ]

Sure. You are welcome. But, you need to start nginx to get it running. That just checked the syntax. But, it will start now.

[zzzniczxz]

yes sir i used the code: systemctl restart nginx

thanks to you again sir! you saved my job hahahaha

[MikeMcQ]

Since you no longer use mwiki domain name, you should remove the A record from the DNS too

[zzzniczxz]

oops you're right sir.. removing it now on our hosting account thanks!
