Welcome to Nginx [ Edited ]

[purplenaartjie]

I'm getting the 'Welcome to Nginx' holding page for an increasing number of sites - including Facebook. Have spent hours trying to fix at my end but no joy. Is this something that's happening at the Virgin Media server end? Help!

wouldn't think so. try tracert to some of the sites you get the page on so we can see if its resolving/routing correctly

Hi purplenaartje,

As per Anthony's advice, this issue appears to be with webserver software from Nginx, on sites which use this, including Facebook.

I'd recommend reporting it to the sites' repective owners if the problems continue.
