A. Nginx allows you to host more than one domain name on the same computer and on the same IP address. There are two basic methods of accomplishing virtual hosting: name-based, and IP address or ip-based. This tutorial covers name-based virtual hosting i.e.
you can hosts multiple websites (host names) for the same webserver IP address.
Nginx name-based virtual hosting configurations
You need to create directory structure as follows to host more than two websites under same IP address:a] /websites : Host each domain under this directory. You need to create dirs as follows:
- /websites/examples.com/http - Html / php / wordpress / forums files for example.com goes here.
- /websites/examples.com/logs - Log files for example.com goes here.
- /websites/examples.com/stats - awstats stats files for example.com goes here.
Your sample setup
- IP address: 202.54.1.2
- HTTP Port: 80
- Domain1 : theos.in hosted at /websites/theos.in/http
- Domain2 : cyberciti.biz hosted at /websites/cyberciti.biz/http
Create necessary directories
Type the following commands:# D=/websites
# NROOT=/usr/local/etc/nginx
# mkdir $D
# mkdir $NROOT/vhosts
# mkdir /var/log/nginx/
# chown root:www /var/log/nginx/
Create / update default cache all ngnix config file
Open /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf file, enter:# vi /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
Update it as follows:
user www www;Where,
worker_processes 1;
# main server error log
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log ;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
# main server config
http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] $request '
'"$status" $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
'"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';
sendfile on;
#tcp_nopush on;
#keepalive_timeout 0;
keepalive_timeout 65;
gzip on;
# default server for ip 202.54.1.2
server {
listen 202.54.1.2:80 default;
server_name _;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log main;
server_name_in_redirect off;
location / {
index index.html;
root /usr/local/www/nginx;
}
}
# virtual hosting
include /usr/local/etc/nginx/vhosts/*;
}
- user www www; :: Setup user and group name for Nginx server.
- worker_processes 1; :: nginx has the ability to use more than one worker process for large systems such as SMP system with tons of ram.
- error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log ; :: Default error log file.
- pid /var/run/nginx.pid; :: Default PID file.
- include mime.types; :: Set Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) for www communication from mime.types files.
- default_type application/octet-stream; :: Set default header media type of the message content
- log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] $request '
'"$status" $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
'"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"'; :: Directive log_format describes the format of a log entry. - sendfile on; :: Activate the usage of sendfile().
- tcp_nopush on; :: This directive permits or forbids the use of the socket options TCP_NOPUSH on FreeBSD or TCP_CORK on Linux. This option is only available when using sendfile.
- keepalive_timeout 65; :: Set keep alive timeout.
- gzip on; :: Turn on gzip
- listen 202.54.1.2:80 default; :: Listen to given IP:port.
- server_name _; :: Assigns the names of virtual server.
- access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log main; :: Set path to access file.
- index index.html; :: Set default index file.
- root /usr/local/www/nginx; :: Set default document root.
- include /usr/local/etc/nginx/vhosts/*; :: Process all vhosts config files.
Create theos.in - 1st vhost directories
Type the following commands:# mkdir $D/theos.in/{http,logs,stats}
# chown -R theosftpuser:theosftpgroup $D/theos.in/
Replace, username:groupname and domain name as per your setup.
theos.in Nginx virtual host config file
Open /usr/local/etc/nginx/vhosts/theos.in.conf file, enter:# vi $NROOT/vhosts/theos.in.conf
Append configuration as follows:
server {Save and close the file.
listen 80;
server_name theos.in www.theos.in;
access_log /websites/theos.in/logs/access.log main;
location / {
root /websites/theos.in/http;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
}
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root /usr/local/www/nginx-dist;
}
# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /websites/theos.in/http$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
Create cyberciti.biz - 2nd vhost directories
Type the following commands:# mkdir $D/cyberciti.biz/{http,logs,stats}
# chown -R user:group $D/cyberciti.biz/
cyberciti.biz Nginx virtual host config file
# vi $NROOT/vhosts/cyberciti.biz.conf
Append configuration as follows:
server {Save and close the file. Restart Nginx web server, enter:
listen 80;
server_name cyberciti.biz www.cyberciti.biz;
access_log /websites/cyberciti.biz/logs/access.log main;
location / {
root /websites/cyberciti.biz/http;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
}
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root /usr/local/www/nginx-dist;
}
# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /websites/cyberciti.biz/http$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
location ~ /\.ht {

}
}
