I have two domains [domain1.com](http://domain1.com) and [domain2.com](http://domain2.com). The settings I have for  
[domain1.com](http://domain1.com) are:

server {

```
        listen 80;
        server_name www.domain1.com;
        rewrite ^/(.*) http://domain1.com/$1 permanent;

       }

```

server {

```
        listen 80;
        server_name domain1.com;

        access_log 

```

/home/test/public\_html/domain1.com/log/access.log;  
error\_log /home/test/public\_html/domain1.com/log/error.log;

```
        location / {

                    root 

```

/home/test/public\_html/domain1.com/public/;  
index index.html;

```
                    }

        }

```

And the settings I have for [domain2.com](http://domain2.com) are:

server {

```
        listen 80;
        server_name domain2.com;
        rewrite ^/(.*) http://www.domain2.com/$1 permanent;

       }

```

server {

```
        listen 80;
        server_name domain2.com;

        access_log 

```

/home/test/public\_html/domain2.com/log/access.log;  
error\_log /home/test/public\_html/domain2.com/log/error.log;

```
        location / {

                    root 

```

/home/test/public\_html/domain2.com/public/;  
index index.html;

```
                    }

        }

```

The main difference is in the re-write rule. In the current state when I  
start nginx I get the following error:

Starting nginx: : conflicting server name “[domain2.com](http://domain2.com)” on 0.0.0.0:80,  
ignored  
nginx.

And accessing [domain2.com](http://domain2.com) will lead to nginx welcome page.

If I change the re-write rule of [domain2.com](http://domain2.com) to match [domain1.com](http://domain1.com) then  
the warning message disappears and I can access [domain2.com](http://domain2.com) page just  
fine.

Any help please?

Thanks
