I have a LEMP stack running with WP on the main domain, however, I have another PHP app as a subdomain e.g. domain.com/subdomain the issue I’m having is when I try to navigate around on the app on subdomain I get redirected to the main domain which is WP.
Do I need to modify my Nginx config to achieve subdomains?

Hi @Yizi,
Yes, you’ll need to create another Nginx config for every domain.
How Nginx works is you add as many configuration files for your domain as you want. If you have 5 domains on your droplet, then you have a configuration file for every one of them.
If you are unsure how to proceed with doing so I’ll recommend checking the following article:
When using the Nginx web server, server blocks (similar to the virtual hosts in Apache) can be used to encapsulate configuration details and host more than one domain off of a single server.
In this guide, you’ll discuss how to configure server blocks in Nginx on a server.
