Hi, i'm fairly new to NGINX.. well Linux in general actually. I've managed to successfully set up TechnicSolder on my VM and using "Domain.com" works as would be expected. But i would like to have TechnicSolder using the url of "Domain.com/solder" so i can then have a simple site on 'Domain.com" what is the basic way for me to change this?

i installed NGINX via this guide: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-nginx-mysql-php-lemp-stack-on-centos-7

i've tried adding another server block, tried adding another location, but i'm a bit in the dark on how to get two addresses on the one domain, if possible i would rather not have a sub-domain

I essentially have this in my conf.d file (this is just a copy from solder's example):

server {
    listen 80; #IPv4
    listen [::]:80; #IPv6

    # Host that will serve this project.
    server_name     solder.technicpack.net;

    # Useful logs for debugging.
    access_log      /var/log/nginx/solder.technicpack.com/access.log;
    error_log       /var/log/nginx/solder.technicpack.com/error.log;
    rewrite_log     on;

    # The location of our projects public directory.
    root            /var/www/solder.technicpack.com/htdocs/TechnicSolder/public;
    index index.php;

    location / {
        # URLs to attempt, including pretty ones
        try_files   $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }

    # PHP FPM configuration.
    location ~* \.php$ {
            fastcgi_pass                    unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
            fastcgi_index                   index.php;
            fastcgi_split_path_info         ^(.+\.php)(.*)$;
            include                         fastcgi_params;
            fastcgi_param PATH_INFO         $fastcgi_path_info;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME   $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    }

    # We don't need .ht files with nginx.
    location ~ /\.ht {
            deny all;
    }

    # Hide dot files/folders
    location ~ .*/\. {
            return 403;
    }

    # Set header expirations on per-project basis
    location ~* \.(?:ico|css|js|jpe?g|JPG|png|svg|woff)$ {
            expires 365d;

    }
}

Thank you for your time in reading this

You can simply move the files into the a different sub-directory. For example, your domain.com will load files in/var/www/solder.technicpack.com/htdocs/TechnicSolder/public. Domain.com/solder will load files in /var/www/solder.technicpack.com/htdocs/TechnicSolder/public/solder.

So you have to create a directory named solder in var/www/solder.technicpack.com/htdocs/TechnicSolder/public/ and place TechnicSolder files in this folder.

    is it possible to have them in two different directory's? so var/www/solder.technicpack.com/htdocs/TechnicSolder/public/ and var/www/solder.technicpack.com/another/example/location

Hi,

You can configure your server block to serve your site on domain.com, and then host TechnicSolder in a subdirectory.

server {
    listen 80; #IPv4
    listen [::]:80; #IPv6

    # Host that will serve this project.
    server_name     solder.technicpack.net;

    # Useful logs for debugging.
    access_log      /var/log/nginx/solder.technicpack.com/access.log;
    error_log       /var/log/nginx/solder.technicpack.com/error.log;
    rewrite_log     on;

    # The location of our projects public directory.
    root            /var/www/path/to/simple/site;
    index index.php;

    location / {
        # URLs to attempt, including pretty ones
        try_files   $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }

    # TechnicSolder PHP FPM configuration.
    location /solder {
        alias  /var/www/solder.technicpack.com/htdocs/TechnicSolder/public;

        location ~ \.php$ {
             fastcgi_pass                    unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
             fastcgi_index                   index.php;
             fastcgi_split_path_info         ^(.+\.php)(.*)$;
             include                         fastcgi_params;
             fastcgi_param PATH_INFO         $fastcgi_path_info;
             fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME   $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        }
    }

    # We don't need .ht files with nginx.
    location ~ /\.ht {
            deny all;
    }

    # Hide dot files/folders
    location ~ .*/\. {
            return 403;
    }

    # Set header expirations on per-project basis
    location ~* \.(?:ico|css|js|jpe?g|JPG|png|svg|woff)$ {
            expires 365d;

    }
}

      Update. When i do "mysamplesite.com/home/solder" i get a 500 internal server error. the error log shows: rewrite or internal redirection cycle while internally redirecting to "/index.php", client: 123.456.7.89 server: mysamplesite.com, request: "GET /home/solder HTTP/1.1", host: "mysamplesite.com"
