Hi, My personal off-topic advice is to put your website data to something like /var/www instead of /usr/share/nginx in order to keep your package manager happy and to comply with the FHS recommendations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard To answer your question, the config can be as follows: server { server_name blog.example.org; root /var/www/blog; ... } server { server_name wiki.example.org; root /var/www/wiki; ... } Thus, it will serve /var/www/wiki/index.html at http://wiki.example.org/index.html. -- Sincerely yours, Styopa Semenukha. _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
