# Website Consolidation Complete - December 14, 2025
## Problem Identified
You were seeing TWO DIFFERENT websites:
- **localhost** → Was serving from `/var/www/html/` (default nginx, old site)
- **skyarts.ddns.net** → Was serving from `/var/www/skyartshop/public/` (your new site)
## Root Cause
The nginx configuration only had `server_name skyarts.ddns.net;` which meant:
- Requests to skyarts.ddns.net went to the skyartshop config
- Requests to localhost fell back to the default nginx config at `/var/www/html/`
## Solution Implemented
Updated nginx configuration to handle BOTH localhost and skyarts.ddns.net:
### Changed Config
```nginx
# Before - only handled skyarts.ddns.net
server {
listen 80;
server_name skyarts.ddns.net;
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
# After - handles both localhost and skyarts.ddns.net
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost skyarts.ddns.net;
# Redirect to HTTPS only for skyarts.ddns.net
if ($host = skyarts.ddns.net) {
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
# For localhost, serve the site over HTTP
root /var/www/skyartshop/public;
# ... rest of config
}
```
## Result
**BOTH URLs now serve THE SAME SITE from `/var/www/skyartshop/public/`**
- ✅ localhost → Serves over HTTP (no redirect)
- ✅ skyarts.ddns.net → Redirects to HTTPS, then serves same content
- ✅ Same navbar, same layout, same pages
- ✅ All your new modifications preserved
- ✅ Admin panel accessible on both URLs
## Verification
```bash
# Both show identical content
curl http://localhost/home.html
curl https://skyarts.ddns.net/home.html
# Both show: <title>Home - Sky Art Shop</title>
# Both show: <nav class="modern-navbar">
# Both show: same hero section
```
## Files Modified
- `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/skyartshop` - Updated to handle localhost
- `/etc/nginx/sites-available/skyartshop` - Same update
- Created: `/media/pts/Website/SkyArtShop/nginx-skyartshop-localhost.conf` - Source config file
## What Happens Now
1. **localhost** - Serves your site over HTTP (port 80)
2. **skyarts.ddns.net** - Redirects to HTTPS (port 443), serves same site
3. **No more dual sites** - One codebase at `/var/www/skyartshop/public/`
4. **All modifications preserved** - Your new admin panel, authentication, everything
## Next Steps
- **Clear browser cache** - Press Ctrl+Shift+Delete and clear cache
- **Test localhost** - Should show your modern site now
- **Test skyarts.ddns.net** - Should show identical site
- **Confirm admin panel** - Should work on both URLs
## Old Site Location (For Reference)
The old site was at `/var/www/html/` (default nginx). You can:
- Delete it if you don't need it: `sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/*`
- Or keep it as a backup
---
**Status: ✅ COMPLETE - Both URLs now serve the same unified site**
