Nginx - root folder - nginx

Question

When I am accesing page at http://myIP I am seeing files in folder
var/www/html
instead of
var/www/html/src/public
I have set up following setting in /etc/nginx/sites-available/default:
root /var/www/html/src/public;
index index.html index.htm;
and also restarted nginx.
What could be wrong? Thank you in advance.

You need to define your document root in:
/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
Or define it in your virtual host config file in:
/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
Here is an example default.conf file setup:
server {
listen 80;
listen 443 ssl;
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/server.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/server.key;
server_name adamsawesomewebsite.tk;
root /var/www/vhosts/adamsawesomewebsite.tk/httpdocs;
index index.php index.html;
#charset koi8-r;
#access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log main;
# redirect server error pages to the static page /40x.html
#
#error_page 404 /404.html;
#location = /40x.html {
#}
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$request_uri;
}
# redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
#
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
}
# proxy the PHP scripts to Apache listening on 127.0.0.1:80
#
#location ~ \.php$ {
# proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1;
#}
# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
#
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
# deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
# concurs with nginx's one
#
#location ~ /\.ht {
# deny all;
#}
}
