Nginx Error When Editing Config - nginx

Question

I have been trying to install flarum using nginx as my server but when i restart nginx i get multiple problems if anyone could figue out where i went wrong i would really appreciate it
when i run "systemctl restart nginx" this happens
Job for nginx.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status nginx.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
then when i run "nginx -t -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf" this happens
nginx: [emerg] duplicate location "/" in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/creativethoughts:14
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
Heres what I have done since i last restarted nginx
Create a new sites-available file then copied it to sites-enables using "sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/creativethoughts /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/"

edited nginx.conf and removed the comment from "server_names_hash_bucket_size 64;"
finally tried to restart and got the error

You are specifying the / location twice.
You've declared the gzip directive multiple times.
You are not closing the server block.
Here is the fixed one:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
root /var/www/html;
index index.html index.htm;
server_name forums.creativethoughts.us www.forums.creativethoughts.us;
location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string; }
location /api { try_files $uri $uri/ /api.php?$query_string; }
location /admin { try_files $uri $uri/ /admin.php?$query_string; }
location /flarum {
deny all;
return 404;
}
location ~* \.php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param HTTP_PROXY ""; # Fix for https://httpoxy.org/ vulnerability
fastcgi_index index.php;
}
location ~* \.html$ {
expires -1;
}
location ~* \.(css|js|gif|jpe?g|png)$ {
expires 1M;
add_header Pragma public;
add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate";
}
