nginx - two subdomain configuration

Question

I'm new to Nginx and I'm trying to get subdomains working. What I would like to do is take my domain (let's call it `example.com`) and add: - `sub1.example.com`, - `sub2.example.com`, and also have - `www.example.com` available. I know how to do this with Apache, but Nginx is being a real head scratcher. I'm running Debian 6. My current /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/example.com: ``` server { server_name www.example.com example.com; access_log /srv/www/www.example.com/logs/access.log; error_log /srv/www/www.example.com/logs/error.log; root /srv/www/www.example.com/public_html; location / { index index.html index.htm; } location ~ \.php$ { include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /srv/www/www.example.com/public_html$fastcgi_script_name; } } ``` It is working to serve example.com and www.example.com. I have tried to add a second server block in the same file like: ``` server { server_name www.example.com example.com…

Accepted Answer

The mistake is putting a server block inside a server block, you should close the main server block then open a new one for the sub domains

```
server {
    server_name example.com;
    # the rest of the config
}
server {
    server_name sub1.example.com;
    # sub1 config
}
server {
    server_name sub2.example.com;
    # sub2 config
}
```
