Nginx serving off the wrong root

linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I have 2 sites-enabled, with server_name as follows: server_name www.mysite.com mysite.com and server_name dev.mysite.com Problem: When I access the website via its IP address, by looking at the access/error logs, it appears that nginx is serving off the root of dev.mysite.com. How does nginx decide which to serve? Can we force it to serve off the root of www.mysite.com when the site is visited using its ip address? conf server { listen 80; server_name www.mysite.com mysite.com; access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log; error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log; root /var/ (HowTos)

Stories similar to Nginx serving off the wrong root

I've looked at many SE threads and done various google searches and can't figure out why i can't redirect www.mysite.com to mysite.com on my nginx server.

The 1st server block does the http://mysite.info -> https://mysite.info redirect as you'd expect.

I've set up Nginx to handle all my static files else proxy_pass to a Node.js server. It's working fine but I'm having difficulty rewriting the url so that it remove the .html file extension.

I have a subdomain of my site pointed to a rails app at mysite.herokuapp.com. I bought a certificate from godaddy and seem to have that all set up correctly.

Hi i have a website as www.mysite.com and it has following pages www.mysite.com/news www.mysite.com/photo www.mysite.com/download

how can i point news.mysite.com to www.mysite.com/news photo.mysite.com to www.mysite.com/photo download.mysite.com to www.mysite.com/download

I have cpanel and shell access to my hosting.

Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

I'm totally stumped. I've looked at about a dozen tutorials explaining how to configure Nginx to run PHP and a Codeigniter app. I can't get anything to work and worse yet typing mysite.com into the browser gives me a blank screen with no errors in my error log so I'm not sure where to start.

I have Server A which hosts www.mysite.com

I want to create and host a site on Server B, but configure it to: www.mysite.com/theSiteAtServerB

TheSiteAtServerB is a completely different site from www.mysite.com and is on a completely different server but the client wants to use www.mysite.com and serve the content for TheSiteServerB under the same url.

Is this at all possible?

I have edited my apache vhost file in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled to add the following:

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName www.mysite.cn ServerAlias mysite.cn *.mysite.cn DocumentRoot /home/user/static/mysite/cn </VirtualHost>

It still points to the default site on the server when i browse to mysite.cn but when i enter anything along the lines of ww3.mysite.cn it point to the new correct

I have website content like

mysite.com/index.php

mysite.com/apps

Now I want to put a maintenance page so people who will visit to mysite.com or mysite.com/index.php will able to see maintenance page however visitors will go to mysite.com/apps or mysite.com/apps/index.php will not redirect to maintenance page.

I already tried these:

This is redirecting both root and subfolder to maintenance pa

I'm trying to set up a simple static website, and I have an issue with nginx that's complicated by a number of things, most notably the fact that my ISP blocks all inbound port 80 traffic.

First, I got a web forward set up so that www.mysite.com will redirect to mysite.com:8000, and then I set up my router to forward port 8000 to my server running nginx.
