Hi Janet,

It is weird then  
Once you remove the ‘default’ symlink and reload the config, the old  
configuration should no longer take effect.

Have you tried refreshing your browser after restarting/reloading nginx?  
I’m suspecting the old index page was cached by your browser

Best regards,  
Wong Kee W.

Hi Wong, hi Vasil

I did restart nginx and reloaded the browser while I was setting up this  
virtual server yesterday several times.

Strangely, this morning when I started my computer all worked well.  
Maybe I  
needed to restart the network or something else?

Thanks very much for your help.

Janet
