Creating a virtual server with nginx

Step 1

cd /etc/nginx/sites-available

Step 2

create file in sites-available directoryfor example

vim xxx.yourdomain.com.conf

server {

listen 80;

server_name xxx.yourdomain.com;

location / {

proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;

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;

}

}

The above configuration assumes your webserver is running at port 8080

Step 3

ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/xxx.yourdomain.com.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/xxx.yourdomain.com.conf

Step 4

sudo nginx -s reload

sudo service nginx restart
