title: Nginx not picking up site in sites-enabled?
body: <p>After over 10 hours of research I have not figured out why this doesn't work! I am trying to move my localhost to my sites-enabled folder which is in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default.</p>
  
  <p>It IS a symlink from the sites-available folder. When using the following configuration I get an "unable to connect" using localhost:8080 as my address</p>
  
  <p>nginx.conf (/usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf):</p>
  
  <pre><code>user  www-data;
  worker_processes  2;
  
  events {
      worker_connections  1024;
  }
  
  
  http {
      include       mime.types;
      default_type  application/octet-stream;
  
      sendfile        on;
  
      keepalive_timeout  65;
  
      include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*; 
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>sites-available (/etc/nginx/sites-available/default):</p>
  
  <pre><code>server {
    listen   8080;
    root /home/myusername/myown/customdirectory;
    index index.php index.html index.htm;
    server_name localhost;
  
      location / {
          try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
      }
  
      location /doc/ {
          alias /usr/share/doc/;
          autoindex on;
          allow 127.0.0.1;
          allow ::1;
          deny all;
      }
  
  
      error_page 404 /404.html;
  
      error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
      location = /50x.html {
          root /usr/share/nginx/www;
      }
  
      location ~ \.php$ {
          fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
          fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
          fastcgi_index index.php;
          include fastcgi_params;
      }
  
      location ~ /\.ht {
          deny all;
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can get this working if I put the relevant info from sites available to the nginx.conf, I just can't figure out why it doesn't work this way?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
