I have created a new droplet with a fresh installation of nginx on ubuntu 15.04. My current website setup needs naked (non-www) domain to be redirected to www domain, which I can do fairly easily by using the server block as follows using this tutorial:
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
return 301 $scheme://www.example.com$request_uri;
}
This code works, but the problem is I want other subdomains to be unaffected. When I use this code, other subdomain for example cdn.domain.com gets redirected as well. I don’t want this.
I have searched over the internet and tried different configurations, but none of them seems to work.
I only want naked domain to be redirected to www.domain.com and other domains to stay as it is.
i.e. if cdn.domain.com is requested it should stay the same. I have set all the subdmain as cname to ‘@’
I need them to serve some other contents but retain the droplet ip or root www directory.
Can anyone help me with this? :(
P.S. Sorry for bad english.

@DigitFreak I’m facing the exactly same issue (joomla included) did you solved your problem?
If you set subdomain as CNAME to @ then it will be redirected to domain.com.
You might want to create a subdomain that have A record to your server. e.g :
then you can create anothersubdomain.domain.com as CNAME to sites.domain.com
On nginx. You can create separate configuration for each sub domain on separate file. I usually create the configuration on /etc/nginx/sites-available and make a symlink on /etc/nginx/sites-enabled for configuration / sites that I want to enable
Don’t forget to include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/* on /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
