gitlab_ci redirects to gitlab

Question

i just installed gitlab_ci with nginx using this installation guide (followed it step-by-step and all worked fine).

I have a gitlab installation running in the same machine ( gitlab.loc ). The Domain I wnat to use for gitlab_ci is "gitlab-ci.loc".

I'm using the provided configuration for nginx (just changed server_name to gitlab-ci.loc).

The Problem: When I try to open gitlab-ci.loc in my Browser it delivers me the gitlab page, like if i had called gitlab.loc instead of gitlab-ci.loc. The Browser address schows gitlab-ci.loc, so i think i done something wrog in nginx configuration.

You cannot have two servers defined as default_server. The second one will not load, and the one defined first will take over all requests. Change one of the listen lines to

listen *:80;

and reload Nginx.
