This post assumes that nginx already installed on the server. If its not installed, please refer the following post to install nginx<\/a>. We assumes that host is ubuntu and installation path is \/etc\/nginx. You can follow the same post incase of different OS or installation path is different. You may need to alter a bit on the implementation plan.<\/p>\n

Assumption:<\/em><\/strong><\/h5>\n
    \n
  1. \u00a0Ubuntu Host<\/li>\n
  2. LEMP setup.<\/li>\n
  3. Domain Names(2 or more domains)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Implementation:<\/h5>\n

    Let’s create the required directories first for both the domains<\/p>\n

    mkdir -p \/var\/www\/domain1.tld\/html<\/code><\/p>\n

    mkdir -p \/var\/www\/domain2.tld\/html<\/code><\/p>\n

    Change the ownership of the directory. Find out which user nginx service is running on the host.<\/p>\n

    # grep user \/etc\/nginx\/nginx.conf
    \nuser <\/code>www-data<\/span>;
    \n<\/code><\/p>\n

    We may need to modify below command based on output previous output.<\/p>\n

    chown www-data.\u00a0\/var\/www\/domain1.tld\/html<\/code><\/p>\n

    chown www-data.\u00a0\/var\/www\/domain2.tld\/html<\/code><\/p>\n

    Create virtualhost configuration for both the domains.<\/p>\n

    <\/code>cd \/etc\/nginx\/sites-available\/<\/code><\/p>\n

    cp default domain1.tld<\/code><\/p>\n

    cp default domain2.tld<\/code><\/p>\n

    Modify each domain virtual host(server blocks) as per our domain. we need to update each domain configuration as per domain name. The following is the configuration of\u00a0domain1.tld<\/strong><\/p>\n

    vi\u00a0domain1.tld<\/code><\/p>\n

    server {<\/p>\n

    listen 80;
    \nlisten [::]:80;<\/p>\n

    root \/var\/www\/domain1.tld<\/strong><\/span>\/html; # Modify the documentroot for each domain<\/strong>
    \nindex index.html index.php index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;<\/p>\n

    server_name domain1.tld<\/span>; # Modify the domain name for each domain<\/strong><\/p>\n

    location \/ {
    \ntry_files $uri $uri\/ \/index.php?$args;
    \n}
    \nlocation ~ \\.php$ {
    \ninclude snippets\/fastcgi-php.conf;
    \nfastcgi_pass unix:\/run\/php\/php7.0-fpm.sock;
    \n}<\/p>\n

    }<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Similarly, the following configuration is for\u00a0domain2.tld.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    vi domain2.tld<\/code><\/p>\n

    server {<\/p>\n

    listen 80;
    \nlisten [::]:80;<\/p>\n

    root \/var\/www\/domain2.tld<\/strong><\/span>\/html; # Modify the documentroot for each domain<\/strong>
    \nindex index.html index.php index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;<\/p>\n

    server_name domain2.tld<\/span>; # Modify the domain name for each domain<\/strong><\/p>\n

    location \/ {
    \ntry_files $uri $uri\/ \/index.php?$args;
    \n}
    \nlocation ~ \\.php$ {
    \ninclude snippets\/fastcgi-php.conf;
    \nfastcgi_pass unix:\/run\/php\/php7.0-fpm.sock;
    \n}<\/p>\n

    }<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Create symlink configuration for domain1.tld and domain2.tld.<\/p>\n

    ln -s \/etc\/nginx\/sites-available\/<\/code>domain1.tld<\/span>\u00a0\/etc\/nginx\/sites-enabled\/<\/code><\/p>\n

    ln -s \/etc\/nginx\/sites-available\/<\/code>domain2.tld<\/span>\u00a0\/etc\/nginx\/sites-enabled\/<\/code><\/p>\n

    Check for any nginx configuration error.<\/p>\n

    nginx -t<\/code><\/p>\n

    Once, we confirm that there is no error then we can restart nginx service.<\/p>\n

    systemctl restart nginx<\/code><\/p>\n

    Create\/upload files to domain documentroot( \/var\/www\/domain1.tld\/html &\u00a0 \/var\/www\/domain2.tld\/html).<\/span><\/p>\n
