Nginx [emerg] “server” directive is not allowed here

I'm coming with problem with NGinx - probably it's my fault somewhere but I can't find solution.

I made custom vhost block in DEFAULT nginx config. And I don't know if it's problem of that and I should do custom vhost in other file in "sites-available" or it's possible in this nginx config.

I'm struggling with that error:

[root@openvpn etc]# nginx -t

nginx: [emerg] "server" directive is not allowed here in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:69

nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

Here it's my nginx.conf

Someone maybe have idea how to resolve that problem with second block (without giving it to second conf file)? And how I can optimize blocks?

Oh I should say why I won't "second block conf file".
Because on centos and in internet I can't find default site block file to copy to sites-available because every time when I'm starting configurating with

sites-available

server {
...
}


I'm getting same thing about "server" directive is not allowed here.

The "wordpress" server block is nested within the default server block, but it should be at the same level.

This is what you have:

server {
...
server {
# Your WordPress config
...
}
}


Should be this way instead:

server {
...
}

server {
# Your WordPress config
...
}
