Hi @tyw,

This is usally because your domain name is too long for the default server_names_hash_bucket_size

You can edit the /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and set server_names_has_buscket_size to a bigger value. Then try to restart nginx.

Thanks. I figure it out. I tried to reinstall with the ip and it didn’t work, but then I wipe it clean and start over it work.
