Nginx nodejs problems

Question

I am trying to use nginx to direct a website hosted on port 8080 to domain exemple1.com and another one on port 8081 that i want to redirect to domain exemple2.com. On the file /etc/nginx/sites-available/default i puted this code:

location ~/example1/ {
    proxy_pass http://example1.com;
}
location ~/example2/ {
    proxy_pass http://example2.com;
}

but i couldn make it work . I am running 2 nodejs servers on the ports i talked about (port 8080 and 8081). What i am doing wrong and how to "fix " it?

Because the downstream app server running on different ports(listen) than coming in, you need to specify ports in proxy_pass. So I think

listen 8080; 

location ~/example1/ {
    proxy_pass http://example1.com:8080;
}
location ~/example2/ {
    proxy_pass http://example2.com:8081;
}

@FlorinBaciu you create a .conf file under /etc/nginx/conf.d and you can have server { listen ... } inside.
