Adding subdomain on NGINX (CentOS)

Posted on January 28, 2014

Hey guys,

I had a working nginx config for my domain, but now I want to add a subdomain to the config. I have following virtual.conf in my /etc/nginx/conf.d folder and it looks like this: http://pastebin.com/TByryv10 Basically I just copied the serverblock that was working and changed the server_name and paths.

My fist server block is still working, but the subdomain isn’t. Any idea what the problem is?

Did you add A record and Cname to your DNS at DO?? <br> <br>I guess this is what you are missing, check here: <br> <br>https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-and-test-dns-subdomains-with-digitalocean-s-dns-panel

Oh no I didn’t do that, thanks for the info! <br>The example is more complex than what I want though, not sure if I did it correctly. <br>I just need to add a CNAME record “subdomain” and “subdomain.appstudions.be.” right?

One of them, yes.
