Hello,

I got multiple files on my nginx vm :

root@nginx:/etc/nginx/conf.d# ls -l
total 16
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1061 Jul  6 11:57 default.mydomainname.xyz.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1428 Aug  2 16:10 site1.mydomainname.xyz.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  862 Jul 27 19:28 site2.mydomainname.xyz.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1491 Jul  6 11:55 site3.mydomainname.xyz.conf

and i got this line in my nginx.conf :

include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;

But in my "Sites List", it's juste giving me an error that /etc/nginx/sites-enabled: no such file or directory.

i kinda don't get it

This is a common issue, please check our documentation: https://nginxui.com/guide/getting-started.html

Before Use

The Nginx UI follows the Debian web server configuration file standard. Created site configuration files will be placed in the sites-available folder that under the Nginx configuration folder (auto-detected). The configuration files for an enabled site will create a soft link to the sites-enabled folder. You may need to adjust the way the configuration files are organised.

For non-Debian (and Ubuntu) systems, you may need to change the contents of the nginx.conf configuration file to the Debian style as shown below.

http {
	# ...
	include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
	include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
}

For more information: debian/conf/nginx.conf

In your case, you need to create /etc/nginx/sites-enabled and /etc/nginx/sites-available, move /etc/nginx/conf.d/* to /etc/nginx/sites-available/, then add include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*; under include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;, finally reload nginx, and you will see the sites list.
