Sub-Domain Split Setting

Assume you understand the basic concepts of subdomains. You may split all your settings into multiple files for better management.

File structure:

The following structure is used to split two subdomains.


📂 .
├── default
├─┬ 📂 conf.d
│ ├── blog.sample.me.conf
│ └── www.sample.me.conf

Default settings

default


server {
 
	root /var/www/html;
	index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
 
	server_name sample.me; # Your basic domain
 
	location / {
		try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
	}
}
 
## Add this line, and create a folder named "conf.d"
include /etc/nginx/sites-available/conf.d/*.conf;

Sub-Domain settings

For www.sample.me.conf

www.sample.me.conf


server{
    server_name www.sample.me; # Sub-domain name
 
}

For blog.sample.me.conf

blog.sample.me.conf


server{
 
    server_name blog.sample.me; # Sub-domain name
    client_max_body_size 100M; 
 
    # Optional, this assumes you are using a reverse proxy
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8084;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
    }
}

Final checking

Run the following command to check if your settings are correct, then reload the config.


# Check is config correct
sudo nginx -t
 
# Hot reload
sudo service nginx reload
 
# Reload with services (Optional)
sudo service nginx restart
