Hi

<^>Now you need to enable the configuration, make a symlink to the enabled sites:

ln -s /etc/sites-available/sub.test.com /etc/sites-enabled/sub.test.com<^>

I think it’s

ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/sub.test.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/sub.test.com

Hello,

You can easily make a website on any (sub)domain you would like to use.

First of all you would need the website files. You can put them somewhere inside /var/www.
In this “tutorial” we will use /var/www/sub.test.com
You also need to have your DNS records setup properly, so your subdomain redirects to your droplet.
For example:

sub.test.com. 1800 IN A 123.345.234.4

Now you can configure nginx to serve a specific website on a specific domain. Make a new configuration in nginx (rename test.com to anything that reminds you of the config):

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/sub.test.com

Inside the configuration place and edit the following:

server {
        listen 80;

        root /var/www/sub.test.com;
        index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

        server_name sub.test.com www.sub.test.com;

        location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
        }
}

<^>Inside this configuration modify the following to your specific setup:

• root (your website file directory)
• server_name (your website domain)<^>

Now you need to enable the configuration, make a symlink to the enabled sites:

ln -s /etc/sites-available/sub.test.com /etc/sites-enabled/sub.test.com

Last thing to do is restart nginx:

service nginx restart

You should now be able to check the website on your subdomain.
Hope it will work, if you have any questions just ask!

after that just add CNAME for that subdomain in DNS settings

change this comand ln -s /etc/nginx /sites-available/sub.test.com /etc/sites-enabled/sub.test.com to ln -s /etc/nginx /sites-available/sub.test.com /etc/sites-enabled/sub.test.com :)
