Why is Nginx routing all traffic to one subdomain? - nginx

Question

I am new to nginx. I am trying to install GitLabs alongside an existing php project which is currently being served by Apache on port 80. My plan is to get them both working side by side on port 90 and then turn off Apache, switching both projects to Nginx on port 80.
Okay. The problem is that both subdomains are being captured by the server for my php project which should only be served to requests for db.mydomain.com. For the php project I have a file called: ccdb symlinked into /etc/nginx/sites-enabled. It contains:
server {
server_name db.mydomain.com;
listen 90; ## listen for ipv4; this line is default and implied
#listen [::]:80 default ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6
root /var/www/ccdb;
index index.html index.htm index.php;
}
However, for some reason, traffic to git.mydomain.com is being serverd from /var/www/ccdb even though I have another file symlinked alongside that one called gitlab with this content:
# GITLAB
# Maintainer: #randx
# App Version: 5.0
upstream gitlab {
server unix:/home/git/gitlab/tmp/sockets/gitlab.socket;
}
server {
listen 90; # e.g., listen 192.168.1.1:80; In most cases *:80 is a good idea
server_name git.mydomain.com; # e.g., server_name source.example.com;
server_tokens off; # don't show the version number, a security best practice
root /home/git/gitlab/public;
# individual nginx logs for this gitlab vhost
access_log /var/log/nginx/gitlab_access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/gitlab_error.log;
location / {
# serve static files from defined root folder;.
# #gitlab is a named location for the upstream fallback, see below
try_files $uri $uri/index.html $uri.html #gitlab;
}
# if a file, which is not found in the root folder is requested,
# then the proxy pass the request to the upsteam (gitlab unicorn)
location #gitlab {
proxy_read_timeout 300; # https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/issues/694
proxy_connect_timeout 300; # https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/issues/694
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_pass http://gitlab;
}
}
NOTE: I am accessing the two domains from an OSX machine on the same local network which has entries in it's /etc/hosts file like so:
192.168.1.100 db.mydomain.com
192.168.1.100 git.mydomain.com

Answer 1

Try to use:
server_name git.mydomain.com:90;
... and:
server_name db.mydomain.com:90;
