I have a website running on port 80 as a default_server, its root in the config file is root /var/www/sample1/current and I can access it through www.sample1.com, and I have one more website on the same server:
/var/www/sample2/current
So I need to call the second website /var/www/sample2/current through www.sample1.com/sample2 on the same port.
You would want to use the http://nginx.org/r/alias directive.
root /var/www/sample1/current;
location ^~ /sample2 {
alias /var/www/sample2/current;
}

I'm running a local web service listening on port 8888
server {
listen 80;
server_name dracut.site;
location /jupyter {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8888/;
}
}
When I access http://dracut.site/jupyter, nginx is using files under /etc/nginx and returns error.
"/etc/nginx/html/tree" failed (2: No such file or directory)
Files should be served from the app listening on port 8888, how can I configure it.
your desciption is not complete...
you're using static html?
then want nginx to serve it...
just define root then location tag to that root
I have a remote centOS server running locally on 127.0.0:8000 which I want to proxy with nginx.
I have tested that the server runs on that address and that nginx passes the tests.
When i try to access the ip on my browser I get:
I understand I need to edit the configuration files for nginx. I just don't know how.
I tried going to /etc/nginx/conf.d/index.conf (I named my app index because, reasons)
And I write the following:
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.<address>.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
root /home/<user>/WebApp/templates;
index index.html;
}
}
And index.html is on the path I put on root. What am i doing wrong?
I have a domain (let it be example.com). Also, I have a configured nginx web server, where example.com is pointed to the root directory /var/www/example.
Then, I wanted to point service.example.com to /var/www/example, and then point the original example.com to /var/www/service
Fisrt lines of nginx config for service.example.com look like this:
server {
server_name service.example.com;
root /var/www/example;
......
It works, and when I try to access service.example.com, I'm being redirected to the index file in /var/www/example.
Then, I made a config for example.com:
server {
server_name example.com www.example.com;
root /var/www/service;
......
,but when I'm trying to access example.com, I see the index file of /var/www/example— as if I tried to access service.example.com.
So, how can I solve this problem, and see index file of /var/www/service when I'm trying to access example.com?
Problem was in symlinks.
Some of them was not the symlinks in sites-enabled, but archive. So, nginx didn't handled them.
Problem was solved!
server {
root /var/www/service;
server_name service.example.com;
}

I have a website which is an app containing other apps.
In the main app, I'll load the other apps with iframes.
The main app is served at the domain root: http://example.com
The other apps are served under the /apps path:
http://example.com/apps/app-a
http://example.com/apps/app-b
Also the apps are developed in Polymer so there is client side navigation. I make sure the /apps path is not used on the client side to hit the NGINX server correctly but it also means that for url such as http://example.com/view1 it should redirect to the index.html of the main app. And for url like http://example.com/apps/app-b/view1 it should redirect to the index.html of app-b.
I'm trying to configure NGINX to serve those static apps.
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
root /var/www/example.com/main-app;
index index.html;
try_files $uri $uri/index.html /index.html;
location ~ /apps/([a-z-]+) {
alias /var/www/example.com/apps/$1;
}
}
With the above config I have the main app working with the correct redirection to the index.html for the /view1 path for example.
But I have a 403 forbidden error for the sub apps.
directory index of "/var/www/example.com/apps/app-b" is forbidden,
client: 127.0.0.1, server: example.com, request: "GET /apps/app-b/
I've tried other configurations with no success (infinite redirection leading to /index.html/index.html/index.html...).
I'm sure about the filesystem permissions all directories are 755 and files are 644.
I don't know why it is trying to do a directory index.
Any help is appreciated.
When using alias with a regular expression location, you need to build the entire path to the file. Currently, you are only capturing the second path element.
Having said that, you do not actually need to use an alias here, as the root directive can be use instead.
location /apps/ {
root /var/www/example.com;
}
See this document for details.
I want to test nginx subdomains before uploading config to the server. Can i test it on localhost? I try
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
}
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name sub.localhost;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/sub;
}
}
And it does not work. Shoulld i change my hosts file in order to make it work? Also, after uploading site to the server should i change DNS records and add sub.mydomain.com?
Yes, add '127.0.0.1 sub.localhost' to your hosts file. That sub has to be resolved somehow. That should work.
Then once you're ready to go to the net, yes, add an a or cname record for the subdomain sub.
When I use proxy_pass I also include the proxy.conf from nginx.
http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpProxyModule
In Linux based OS just to edit as sudo /etc/hosts file and change 127.0.0.1 localhost to 127.0.0.1 *.localhost.
So at /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/<environment>/<your_project_name> edit server_name key as <subdomain>.localhost.
Reload nginx and networking service.
$ sudo service nginx reload
$ sudo service networking reload
And then try http://<subdomain>.localhost at url bar.
It works for me.
UPDATE
In my opinion, a better solution is creating a virtual server that only responds if subdomain doesn’t exist, at /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/development/default, as default server (remember that you can define only one server as default).
server {
listen 80 default_server;
root /var/www/html/errors/404;
server_name *.localhost *.<host-name>;
location / {
index subdomain.html;
}
}
Make sure that in nginx.conf (generally at /etc/nginx/nginx.conf) contain include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/**/*; to this virtual server work. If not, put it and then run $ sudo service nginx reload.
In this case isn't necessary put *.localhost in /etc/hosts, but only localhost.
For your public webserver with its own domain name, you just need to add a Canonical name using a CNAME record in your DNS configuration:
CNAME * example.com.
Once this is done, set your nginx setting
server_name *.example.com example.com;
In your local setup you can keep the same configuration for nginx but unless you have a local DNS setup, you will have to edit your /etc/hosts file and add each subdomain manually. wildcards don't work in the /etc/hosts file.
127.0.0.1 abc.example.com def.example.com ghi.example.com
It is generally recommended to use .local as the namespace for your local domains.
With an Nginx configuration like shown by the OP, all that is needed is to configure the local DNS resolution. I run Linux containers on a VM with a local DHCP IP but test them on Windows 10 browsers.
The DNS configuration can be done by editing "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts" as Administrator.
192.168.100.50 sub.example.local
192.168.100.50 example.local
Of course, use 127.0.0.1 or other appropriate IP as needed.
