Question

Subdomain and Nginx

Posted December 26, 2013 31.9k views
I am trying to make a subdomain on Nginx. I understand that I have to make a new server block but even after doing that I am still unable to access it. This is a copy of my working config file without the subdomain. http://pastebin.com/Ah9gri1u I am hoping to put everything in that one file. I created a new directory in /var/www/stage. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your reply! I tried going through those steps but am trying to put the subdomain in the same config file. Can I put it somewhere in here or should I just make a new config file for the stage site?

server {
listen 80;

root /var/www;
index index.php index.php index.htm;

server_name mydomain.com www.mydomain.com;

location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}

location = /favicon.ico {
log_not_found off;
access_log off;
}

location = /robots.txt {
allow all;
log_not_found off;
access_log off;
}

location ~ /\. {
deny all;
}

location ~* /(?:uploads|files)/.*\.php$ {
deny all;
}
}

"I .. am trying to put the subdomain in the same config file."

Why? What benefit does that serve?

"Can I put it somewhere in here..."

You probably can; but, have you ever heard the saying "don't put all your eggs in one basket?" If you insist, however, try this: pastebin.com/dttKrpzK (that is, stack 2 server blocks -- one on top of the other).

I read in the comments of the article about putting it in one file but you make a good point. It'd be more organized if I separated them. Thanks for your help!!

Edit /etc/nginx/sites-available/default and add the following:

server {
  listen 80;

  server_name www.example.com;
  root /var/www/example;
  index index.html index.htm index.php;              

  location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
  }
}

server {
  listen 80;

  server_name blog.example.com;
  root /var/www/blog;
  index index.html index.htm index.php;              

  location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
  }
}

Hope this helps! :-)
