nginx is redirecting from one virtual host to another

Question

I have a problem with my nginx configuration. I have installed an owncloud on the domain cloud.example.com and i want to have another site on example1.com. The site on example1.com is written with CakePHP and so I took the default nginx configuration for a CakePHP website. The Configuration for the owncloud i took from a german site and it worked just fine.

But now if I want to go to example1.com, i will moved permanently to cloud.example.com

Google Chrome says that: Status Code:301 Moved Permanently (from cache)
I cleared my browsercache and DNS-Cache multiple times.

config-files

example1.com

server {
    listen   80;
    server_name *.example1.com;
    return 301 http://example1.com$request_uri;
}
server {
    listen   80;
    server_name example1.com;

    # root directive should be global
    root   /var/www/example1/webroot;
    index  index.php;

    access_log /var/www/example1/log/access.log;
    error_log /var/www/example1/log/error.log;

    location / {
        try_files $uri /index.php?$args;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        try_files $uri =404;
        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_pass    127.0.0.1:9000;
        fastcgi_index   index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    }
}

Owncloud:

Update Okay - that makes a lot more sense... Try removing this return 301 http://example1.com$request_uri;

That's telling NGINX to return a 301 code for anything that comes in on the example1.com domain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_301 . Basically you're getting a "Moved Permanently" Error because you're telling the server to do exactly that ...;)

Old - no longer relevant since sample files changed Did you already try taking out the last server directive in your example.com config?

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name cloud.example.com;
    rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent; # enforce https
}
