Question
Configure subdomain on Centos with NGINX
I'm trying to add a subdomain to my nginx server, and can't seem to get it working. Here's the config file for my primary server:
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.kevin-whitaker.net;
rewrite ^/(.*) http://kevin-whitaker.net permanent;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name kevin-whitaker.net;
access_log /home/admin/public_html/kevin-whitaker.net/log/access.log;
error_log /home/admin/public_html/kevin-whitaker.net/log/error.log;
root /home/admin/public_html/kevin-whitaker.net/public/;
index index.html;
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect false;
if (-f $request_filename/index.html) {
rewrite (.*) $1/index.html break;
}
if (-f $request_filename.html) {
rewrite (.*) $1.html break;
}
}
}
What I would like now is to create a subdomain as following:
# ArtWorked // DevCloud
server {
server_name devcloud.artworked.com;
root /usr/share/nginx/html/server/devcloud;
}
Where I'm I going wrong ?
And does creating a subdomain on Nginx requires DNS intry such as an A record or a CNAME as there is conflicting information online.
Thanks for your help.
