I have an http block where I include virtual hosts for the different domains hosted on the same server. For each virtual host I do:

listen domain.com:80;

Now, domain2.com works fine. However, when I do www.domain2.com it shows the page for domain1.com!

How to properly configure nginx? Does this have something to do whether www is a CNAME or an A record?

Update: It looks like you can do the following:

listen 80;
server_name domain.com www.domain.com;
