    Hello,

    Matrix Synapse homeserver is installed on my VPS running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS thanks to following Howtoforge tutorial, but NGINX (configured as a reverse proxy server) does not work as it should, although I proceeded as show STEP 5 :
    https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/how-to-install-matrix-synapse-on-ubuntu-1804/

    THE ISSUE IS
    URL to connect my Matrix Synapse homserver is such likehttps://custom.mydomain.com’, but when trying the connection the browser only displays the 'WELCOME TO NGINX‘ page, instead of the Riot.im login page (chat app) ; although :

    Matrix Synapse is well started and running
    DNS zone on my VPS now comes with this ‘A‘ entry pointing my Synapse homeserver : (www).custom.mydomain.com through IPV4 address

    For now, I am installing ISPConfig 3 / Apache 2 on the same VPS, hoping that creating the website for ‘custom.mydomain.com‘ was a missing step, or that some parameters or server directives may be set from the website ‘option‘ tab to allow Nginx to work as a reverse proxy server….

    Any help in this matter is welcomed !
