Two Virtual Hosts, Serving Static Files
http {
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.domain1.com;
access_log logs/domain1.access.log main;
location / {
index index.html;
root /var/www/domain1.com/htdocs;
}
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.domain2.com;
access_log logs/domain2.access.log main;
location / {
index index.html;
root /var/www/domain2.com/htdocs;
}
}
}
A Default Catchall Virtual Host (before 0.6.x)
http {
server {
listen 80 default;
server_name _ *;
access_log logs/default.access.log main;
location / {
index index.html;
root /var/www/default/htdocs;
}
}
}
A Default Catchall Virtual Host (in 0.6.x)
http {
server {
listen 80 default;
server_name _;
access_log logs/default.access.log main;
server_name_in_redirect off;
location / {
index index.html;
root /var/www/default/htdocs;
}
}
}
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; #could also be 1.2.3.4:80
# Multiple hostnames seperated by spaces. Replace these as well.
server_name star.yourdomain.com *.yourdomain.com www.*.yourdomain.com;
#Alternately: _ *
root /PATH/TO/WEBROOT/$host;
error_page 404 http://yourdomain.com/errors/404.html;
access_log logs/star.yourdomain.com.access.log;
location / {
root /PATH/TO/WEBROOT/$host/;
index index.php;
}
# serve static files directly
location ~* ^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|html)$ {
access_log off;
expires 30d;
}
location ~ .php$ {
# By all means use a different server for the fcgi processes if you need to
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:YOURFCGIPORTHERE;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /PATH/TO/WEBROOT/$host/$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length;
fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
