I tried with my domain to load the site but it’s not working.  
When I tried using the server IP, It will load a welcome message of Nginx.

Here are my Nginx Configurations,

1. fivemincodes.com.conf

```auto
server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;

    server_name fivemincodes.com;
    root /var/www/fivemincodes/system/nginx-root; # Used for acme.sh SSL verification (https://acme.sh)

    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2368;

    }

    location ~ /.well-known {
        allow all;
    }

    client_max_body_size 50m;
}

```

1. fivemincodes.com-ssl.conf

```auto
server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    listen [::]:443 ssl http2;

    server_name fivemincodes.com;
    root /var/www/fivemincodes/system/nginx-root; # Used for acme.sh SSL verification (https://acme.sh)

    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/fivemincodes.com/fullchain.cer;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/fivemincodes.com/fivemincodes.com.key;
    include /etc/nginx/snippets/ssl-params.conf;

    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2368;

    }

    location ~ /.well-known {
        allow all;
    }

    client_max_body_size 1g;
}

```

It’s working for me now, you might need to wait a few hours for DNS to propagate.
