Question
How do you host 2 sites from 1 nginx droplet?
I’m trying to host 2 sites from 1 droplet. The droplet is Ubuntu 16.04 using nginx. I’m also using PHP 7.0
I own 2 domains that are pointed to the droplet. website1.com and website2.com.
website1.com uses Let’s Encrypt.
These are my configs in sites-available.
/etc/nginx/sites-available/website1.com
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name website1.com www.website1.com;
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
server {
# SSL configuration
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
include snippets/ssl-website1.com.conf;
include snippets/ssl-params.conf;
root /var/www/website1.com/html;
index index.php index.html;
error_page 404 /404.php;
# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
# With php7.0-cgi alone:
# fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
# With php7.0-fpm:
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
}
}
/etc/nginx/sites-available/website2.com
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
root /var/www/website2.com/html;
index index.php index.html;
server_name website2.com www.website2.com;
return 301 http://$server_name$request_uri;
error_page 404 /404.php;
# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
# With php7.0-cgi alone:
# fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
# With php7.0-fpm:
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
}
}
Currently website1.com works perfectly, however website2.com is not accessible. Visiting website2.com in chrome displays a page that says:
This page isn’t working
website2.com redirected you too many times.
Try clearing your cookies.
ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
I’ve tried clearing my cookies, trying different browsers, devices, etc.
Also, when I visit the IP of the droplet in a browser, it goes straight to website1.com.
Every time I change a config, I restart nginx. There are no nginx errors either.
If there is any more information that would help please let me know.
Should I just delete this droplet and create 2 new droplets?
Thanks in advance.
