I am trying to install Discourse for a domain on a CentOS server. I think I have installed all of the necessary components by following this guide:
> **[How To Install Discourse on a CentOS 6.4 x64 VPS | DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-discourse-on-a-centos-6-4-x64-vps)**

However, I am not sure what I need to enter in /etc/nginx/conf.d/discourse.conf for server\_name. At the moment I have:
```
server {
listen 80;
server_name psychematters.net www.psychematters.net;
```
Where [psychematters.net](http://psychematters.net) is one domain of many on my server, the one that I would like to use Discourse on.
When I start nginx it affects all of the domains on my server though, with a “Welcome to nginx” message showing on the home page of each site.
What do I need to do to get this working properly, such that I can use Discourse on just the psyche [matters.net](http://matters.net) site?
Do I need to make any changes to /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf, which currently has the following for server?:
```
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
```

If you want to run other websites on the same machine as Discourse, you need to set up an extra NGINX or HAProxy proxy in front of the Docker container. NOTE: This is for advanced admins This guide assumes you already have Discourse working - if you don’t, it may be hard to tell whether or not the configuration is working. You cannot use ./discourse-setup to set up Discourse if another server is using port 80 or 443. You will…
