Nginx equivalent to lighttpd "evhost.path-pattern"

http://serverfault.com – I'm setting up a new server for my personal stuff. On the old box I've used lighttpd for almost two years now. I've read a bit about it and most people tend to switch to nginx since it's development is much more active. Now i'm a bit overwhelmed by the might of nginx. The coolest thing I've used with lighty was the "evhost.path-pattern" feature where I can simply delegate all domains and subdomains using a more or less complex regular expression and defining "evhost.path-pattern = "/var/www/pages/%0/subdomains/%3/" so I simply have to create a new folder in "subdomains" and the same second I (HowTos)

The man page for GNU's less utility says the following about searching:

/pattern Search forward in the file for the N-th line containing the pattern. N defaults to 1.

I have a Lighttpd server as a front end for Ruby on rails.

Some subdomains (server1.domain.com, server2.domain.com) are configured with proxy.

But also have a standard static web server at www.domain.com.

It works, but the call without subdomain (domain.com) does not work.

How could I configure Lighttpd for it?

Configuration for proxy:

$HTTP["host"] =~ "www.domain." { alias.url = ( "/sys

This is my problem:

I have two subdomains:

foo.company.com bar.company.com

These will be used for projects hosted at our office. The setup at the office is just one server (10.10.10.9) with 2 VM's (Nginx (10.10.10.10) & Apache (10.10.10.11) ).

What I've done now:

Made sure that both subdomains are sent to our fixed IP-address. From our firewall it gets sent to 10.10.10.9.

What I wan

I would like all subdomains to be mapped to a particular folder and 404 if nothing exist. So if i have a wordpress install i would like nginx to see ANYTHING.mysite.com and attempt to host files from /var/log/mysite/subdomaindir/ANYTHING

How might i do that?

I am currently building an web app which also utilizes websockets. (Rails for webserver and Nodejs for socket.io)

I have structured my application to use subdomains to separate between connection to the Nodejs server and the Rails webserver. I have "socket.mysite.com" redirected to the Node server and everything else to the webserver.

I am able to test this functionality on localhost.

[ubuntu] NGINX Configuration 36 weeks 3 days ago

Hi there,

I'm trying to get NGINX set up as a reverse proxy server for multiple SSL sites on one IP using SNI.

I have single domain DS, I mean that all domains(except main) are subdomains.

So for instance I have:

example.com stat.example.com example.com/fun

Is is possible to do for instance that stat.example.com is handled with nginx+apache, and all others are process only by apache(for instance nginx only passes the request to apache)?

Lighttpd and Subdomains 1 year 11 weeks ago

I have a Lighttpd server which is hosting the site 'dragon-dev.co.uk' on it. I purchased a subdomain cache.dragon-dev.co.uk, and would like to be able to access it. All I can do just now is, well, see the homepage. Other than that I get a TCP error.

Any ideas?
