If you d prefer a more direct approach  one that does NOT mess with symlinking between  etc nginx sites-available and  etc nginx sites-enabled  do the following    Locate your nginx conf file  Likely at  etc nginx nginx conf Find the http block  Somewhere in the http block  write include  etc nginx conf d   conf  This tells nginx to pull in any files in the conf d directory that end in  conf   I know  it s weird that a directory can have a   in it   Create the conf d directory if it doesn t already exist  per the path in step 3   Be sure to give it the right permissions ownership  Likely root or www-data   Move or copy your separate config files  just like you have in  etc nginx sites-available  into the directory conf d  Reload or restart nginx  Eat an ice cream cone    Any  conf files that you put into the conf d directory from here on out will become active as long as you reload restart nginx after   Note  You can use the conf d and sites-enabled   sites-available method concurrently if you wish  I like to test on my dev box using conf d  Feels faster than symlinking and unsymlinking

Well  I think nginx by itself doesn t have that in its setup  because the Ubuntu-maintained package does it as a convention to imitate Debian s apache setup   You could create it yourself if you wanted to emulate the same setup   Create  etc nginx sites-available and  etc nginx sites-enabled and then edit the http block inside  etc nginx nginx conf and add this line  include  etc nginx sites-enabled      Of course  all the files will be inside sites-available  and you d create a symlink for them inside sites-enabled for those you want enabled
