Serving multiple node apps with nginx on same domain
nginx, node.js
Solution
Just found out what the problem was. Though my nginx configs were correct, I had not added my desired subdomain to my domain name provider (namecheap). I added my subdomain on namecheap, and everything is working correctly now.
Problem
I would like to host 2 different node applications with nginx from the same domain and am having some trouble. I would like to have: mydomain.com point to node app firstApp and otherapp.mydomain.com point to node app otherapp Right now, I can access firstApp just fine, but I cannot access otherapp via otherapp.mydomain.com. My config for firstApp looks like this: ``` upstream firstApp{ server 127.0.0.1:8123; } server{ server_name mydomain.com; access_log /var/log/nginx/me.log; location / { proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true; proxy_pass http://firstApp/; proxy_redirect off; } } ``` My config for otherapp looks like this: ``` upstream otherapp{ server 127.0.0.1:8124; } server{ server_name otherapp.mydomain.com; access_log /var/log/nginx/me.log; location / { proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true; proxy_pass http://otherapp/; proxy_redirect off; } } ``` I have created both configurations in the nginx sites-available directory, they are both linked in the sites-enabled directory, and I have restarted nginx. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Swaraj
