  1. So I've created https://phuks.mydomain.com and after working around with it, I run the npm run build && killall -HUP gunicorn and everything is built OK. However, the site still points to a sample index.html that I initially created when creating the subdomain. Even after deleting the index.html file, it still points to that file. What do I need to do here? I've tried redis-cli FLUSHALL but that also doesn't work. Are there any cache files that I need to delete? Where?

  2. OR do I need to make any changes to files like config.py? Besides this, are there any other files I need to look at? Here's how my config.py file looks like.

Thank you so much for replying. Yes, I had created it to test and before migrating the changes to the main site.

You shouldn't be serving an index.html from the webserver

I deleted the index.html file and re-ran gunicorn without any errors. But it again points to the 'deleted' index.html site when I go to https://dev.mysite.co. What should I do now?

Copy the relevant bits and change for the subdomain, it should work the same.

I've copied all the throat files (of my main site) to this new folder for the subdomain. Absolute path being /var/www/dev.mysite.co/public_html, ran gunicorn with no errors but I'm back to square one when I open https://dev.mysite.co

I've copied all the throat files (of my main site) to this new folder for the subdomain.

I'm talking about the nginx configuration, presumably a file in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled assuming you're using Ubuntu or Debian.

It should look something like this:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name dev.mysite.co;

    location / {
        include proxy_params;
        proxy_pass unix:/home/app/app.sock;
    }
}

Thanks again.

Yes. I'm on Ubuntu. Here's how my /etc/nginx/sites-enabled folder looks like. It has only one file that has the same name as my root/main site and not file for dev.mysite

So, a very baby step question. Should I create a new file called dev.mysite and paste the code that you have shared? Or copy the existing mysite file and make the necessary replacements?

Or copy the existing mysite file and make the necessary replacements?

Yup, this.

It sounds like you have the DNS record for dev.mysite.co pointing to this server, but the webserver doesn't know that domain so it's just using the default site which is pointing, probably, to /var/www/html/index.html. Once the webserver is aware that it's supposed to be serving that site (by creating the new site file and configuring it as such, then restarting nginx) you should be in good shape.
