How to remove demodomain.com in CentminMod

How to remove demodomain.com in CentminMod? When you successfully install CentminMod, you will see that a pre-created domain is demodomain.com.

Remove demodomain.com in CentminMod

When I first used CentminMod, I didn’t know why there was this demo domain mail in my server. I don’t know what it is for.

Is it a part of CentminMod and can I delete it?

If you check the /home/nginx/domains directory, you will see demodomain.com directory in it.

[14:27][[email protected] ~]# ls /home/nginx/domains
demodomain.com

This is probably a domain created for the purpose of testing the operation of CentminMod. We do not need it and therefore, we will delete it from the server.

To remove this demo domain from the server, you do the following steps in turn.

First, delete the vhost configuration file for this domain.

rm -rf /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/demodomain.com.conf

Next, delete the source web directory of this domain.

rm -rf /home/nginx/domains/demodomain.com

Then, run the following command to verify that Nginx configuration has any errors.

nginx -t

If you encounter an error, it looks like the following.

Restarting nginx: nginx: [warn] conflicting server name "localhost" on 0.0.0.0:80, ignored
nginx: [warn] conflicting server name "site.com" on 0.0.0.0:80, ignored
nginx: [warn] conflicting server name "www.site.com" on 0.0.0.0:80, ignored
nginx.

Finally, you reload the Nginx configuration in the CentminMod server.

service nginx reload

Conclusion

It is done. With just a few simple commands, you can delete the demo domain that CentminMod created in the server. It is not so important, but you do not want to have garbage in your server, right?
