Ignore fix subdomain and route to specific path

Posted on February 27, 2020

I am using Nginx. and I have domain ex:- example.com

and now what I want is I have to setup this rule in nginx.conf if anyone hit any other subdomain just like abc.example.com then it will refer to example.com/sites/fivespan except admin.example.com, manage.example.com, sync.example.com, schedule.example.com. be sure that it will not redirect to that URL. so how to do that and whats the syntax.

Hello,

You could add a wildcard server block for all of your domains like this:

server {
    listen  80;
    server_name *.domain.com;

    root /var/www/example.com/sites/fivespan;

}

If you are not sure how to create server blocks you could take a look at this tutorial here:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-nginx-server-blocks-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-16-04

Then after that you can create separate server blocks for each subdomain name that you would like to have specific content for.

Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
