Django Nginx not working properly showing default page - django

Question

I have an issue with ngnix on my site what I've just uploaded and configured on digitalocean.
The issue is that when I visit the site, I see the ngnix default page (at mydomain.net) but if I type mydomain.net/myapp I see my django app working. Everything works fine except the homepage.
I'm not sure what is this problem and I haven't find any solution for it online.
My site is on the latest django release and debud False. The domain is added to allowed_hosts and also in the ngnix config.
My urls:
url(r'^$',views.IndexLatest.as_view(),name='index'),
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
url(r'^meres/',include('myapp.urls')),
url(r'^logout/$', views.user_logout, name='logout'),
]
My config:
server {
listen 80;
server_name bwalab.net;
location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location /static/ {
root /home/bwalab/bwalab;
}
location / {
include proxy_params;
proxy_pass http://unix:/home/bwalab/bwalab/bwalab.sock;
}}
And this is my nginx.conf
user www-data;
worker_processes auto;
pid /run/nginx.pid;
include /etc/nginx/modules-enabled/*.conf;
events {
worker_connections 768;
# multi_accept on;
}
http {

# server_names_hash_bucket_size 64;
# server_name_in_redirect off;
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;

##

# gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;
##
# Virtual Host Configs
##
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
}
#mail {
# # See sample authentication script at:
# # http://wiki.nginx.org/ImapAuthenticateWithApachePhpScript
#
# # auth_http localhost/auth.php;
# # pop3_capabilities "TOP" "USER";
# # imap_capabilities "IMAP4rev1" "UIDPLUS";
#
# server {
# listen localhost:110;
# protocol pop3;
# proxy on;
# }
#
# server {
# listen localhost:143;
# protocol imap;
# proxy on;
# }}
#
Does anyone have any idea what can be the problem?
Thanks!

i think you should delete the default configuration in sites available and your sites available configuration should be within the sites enabled directory as well.
/sites-available/
|
|-> site.com
|-> site2.com
|-> disabled.com
/sites-enabled/ **this links to the files in /sites-available**
|
|-> site2.com
|-> site2.com
