I want to use my LEMP server to host HTML and WP sites. I created my first WP site following this tutorial https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-wordpress-with-nginx-on-ubuntu-14-04, the only thing that I changed is, that I didn’t install the WP on the root, I’ve installed my WP in /var/www/html/webs/wpsite because I will have many WP sites in /myfolder/
So what I’d like to have, is access to the WP site on this way myIP/webs/wpsite until I point the DNS to the domain, but I cant.
Supposedly I should get access to the WP site that I install through that URL, since I configured the nginx block on the below, but anytime that I go to myIP/webs/wpsite it automatically redirect me to the main IP, to the IP of my server, I can’t understand why. Here it is my configuration on sites-available:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
root /var/www/html/secure/oxygen;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
# Make site accessible from http://localhost/
server_name;
location / {
# First attempt to serve request as file, then
# as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
# try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
# Uncomment to enable naxsi on this location
# include /etc/nginx/naxsi.rules
}
error_page 404 /404.html;
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
# Only for nginx-naxsi used with nginx-naxsi-ui : process denied requests
#location /RequestDenied {
# proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
#}
#error_page 404 /404.html;
# redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
#
#error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
#location = /50x.html {
# root /usr/share/nginx/html;
#}
# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
#
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
# # NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini
#
# # With php5-cgi alone:
# fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
# # With php5-fpm:
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
# deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
# concurs with nginx's one
#
#location ~ /\.ht {
# deny all;
#}
}

Thanks Affix I’ll have a look to you tutorial, and let you know if I finally make it works.
create different server {} blocks just change the server_name to match the domain you wish to choose. set the root to /var/www/html/webs/wpsite
To access them all though you will need to setup a default server {} block that points to /var/www/html/webs/
That will allow you to use domain based virtual hosts and a single URL to access them all
yes you will need to create subdomains from your Godaddy Control Panel (Unless you setup a Nameserver using bind).
