Nginx Error When Editing Config

Question

I have been trying to install flarum using nginx as my server but when i restart nginx i get multiple problems if anyone could figue out where i went wrong i would really appreciate it

when i run "systemctl restart nginx" this happens

Job for nginx.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status nginx.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

then when i run "nginx -t -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf" this happens

nginx: [emerg] duplicate location "/" in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/creativethoughts:14 nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

Heres what I have done since i last restarted nginx

Create a new sites-available file then copied it to sites-enables using "sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/creativethoughts /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/"

server { listen 80 default_server; listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on; root /var/www/html; index index.html index.htm; server_name forums.creativethoughts.us www.forums.creativethoughts.us; location / { try_files $uri $uri/ =404; } location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string; } location /api { try_files $uri $uri/ /api.php?$query_string; } location /admin { try_files $uri $uri/ /admin.php?$query_string; } location /flarum { deny all; return 404; } location ~* \.php$ { fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+.php)(/.+)$; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock; include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_param HTTP_PROXY ""; # Fix for https://httpoxy.org/ vulnerability fastcgi_index index.php; } location ~* \.html$ { expires -1; } location ~* \.(css|js|gif|jpe?g|png)$ { expires 1M; add_header Pragma public; add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate"; } gzip on; gzip_http_version 1.1; gzip_vary on; gzip_comp_level 6; gzip_proxied any; gzip_types application/atom+xml application/javascript application/json application/vnd.ms-fontobject application/x-font-ttf application/x-web-app-manifest+json application/xhtml+xml application/xml font/opentype image/svg+xml image/x-icon text/css text/plain text/xml; gzip_buffers 16 8k; gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.(?!.*SV1)";

}

--------------------------------------------------

edited nginx.conf and removed the comment from "server_names_hash_bucket_size 64;"

finally tried to restart and got the error

You are specifying the / location twice.
You've declared the gzip directive multiple times.
You are not closing the server block.

Here is the fixed one:

server { listen 80 default_server; listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on; root /var/www/html; index index.html index.htm; server_name forums.creativethoughts.us www.forums.creativethoughts.us; location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string; } location /api { try_files $uri $uri/ /api.php?$query_string; } location /admin { try_files $uri $uri/ /admin.php?$query_string; } location /flarum { deny all; return 404; } location ~* \.php$ { fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+.php)(/.+)$; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock; include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_param HTTP_PROXY ""; # Fix for https://httpoxy.org/ vulnerability fastcgi_index index.php; } location ~* \.html$ { expires -1; } location ~* \.(css|js|gif|jpe?g|png)$ { expires 1M; add_header Pragma public; add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate"; } } gzip_http_version 1.1; gzip_vary on; gzip_comp_level 6; gzip_proxied any; gzip_types application/atom+xml application/javascript application/json application/vnd.ms-fontobject application/x-font-ttf application/x-web-app-manifest+json application/xhtml+xml application/xml font/opentype image/svg+xml image/x-icon text/css text/plain text/xml; gzip_buffers 16 8k; gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.(?!.*SV1)";
