title: Nginx does not show custom root folder's files
body: <p>I am using a classic load balancer in front of an nginx EC2 instance and have pointed the A-record of my site to the load balancer. I am getting the default nginx page even though my root is pointed to a custom folder /home/ubuntu/mydomain/pulic. </p>
  
  <p>When I change the index.html file's contents under the html folder, I am able to see the changes. But, I don't know from where this page is pointed from. I have tried modifying the root path at /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf and /usr/src/nginx-1.13.6/conf/nginx.conf. But does not work(no change is seen).</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone help me with this? Googled this in different ways and found no help.</p>
  
  <p>All I am looking for is a secure HTTPS connection between the load balancer and the EC2 instance.</p>
  
  <p>NOTE: I installed nginx manually and not using apt-get.</p>
