[edit] Server Block Examples
Note: "VirtualHost" is an Apache term. Nginx does not have Virtual hosts, it has "Server Blocks" that use the server_name and listen directives to bind to tcp sockets.
[edit] Two Server Blocks, Serving Static Files
http { index index.html; server { server_name www.domain1.com; access_log logs/domain1.access.log main; root /var/www/domain1.com/htdocs; } server { server_name www.domain2.com; access_log logs/domain2.access.log main; root /var/www/domain2.com/htdocs; } }
[edit] A Default "Catch All" Server Block
http { index index.html; server { listen 80 default_server; server_name _; # This is just an invalid value which will never trigger on a real hostname. access_log logs/default.access.log main; server_name_in_redirect off; root /var/www/default/htdocs; } }
[edit] Wildcard Subdomains in a Parent Folder
This is just a really easy way to keep adding new subdomains, or to add new domains automatically when DNS records are pointed at the server. Note that I have included FCGI here as well. If you want to just serve static files, strip out the FCGI config and change the default document to index.html. Rather than creating a new vhost.conf file for every domain, just create one of these:
server { # Replace this port with the right one for your requirements listen 80 default_server; #could also be 1.2.3.4:80 # Multiple hostnames separated by spaces. Replace these as well. server_name star.yourdomain.com *.yourdomain.com; # Alternately: _ root /PATH/TO/WEBROOT; error_page 404 errors/404.html; access_log logs/star.yourdomain.com.access.log; index index.php index.html index.htm; # static file 404's aren't logged and expires header is set to maximum age location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|html)$ { access_log off; expires max; } location ~ \.php$ { include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_intercept_errors on; # By all means use a different server for the fcgi processes if you need to fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:YOURFCGIPORTHERE; } location ~ /\.ht { deny all; } }
