nginx showing default welcome page instead of directory on my webserver

Question

I have Nginx set up on a remote Arch Linux server. I have files in /srv/http/mywebsite.com. ("mywebsite.com" is of course just the placeholder name I'm using for this question.)

In that directory are a bunch of files and pages. There is no index.html. Until recently, I could see all the files in the directory by going to mywebsite.com. But now, after running yay -Syyu to upgrade and update packages, and deleting files in /var/spool/clientmqueue, when I go to mywebsite.com, I only see the default "welcome" page by Nginx.

Here are the contents of /etc/nginx/nginx.conf. ` #user http; worker_processes 1;

#error_log logs/error.log; #error_log logs/error.log notice; #error_log logs/error.log info;

#pid logs/nginx.pid;

    }

    # proxy the PHP scripts to Apache listening on 127.0.0.1:80

}`

In both /etc/nginx/sites-available and /etc/nginx/sites-enabled I have mywebsite.com, whose contents are as follows...

I'm not familiar with arch linux, but it doesn't look like your nginx.conf includes the sites-enabled conf directory, eg.:

http { 
    include mime.types; 
    default_type application/octet-stream;

    include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*.*;

    <... rest of file ...>
}
