Apache2 to Apache2 + Nginx

[sumfvm]

Hi all,

I follow this guide: http://www.howtoforge.com/nginx-catc...n-debian-lenny

All is working perfectly for all customers who own a subdomain like user.my-domain.com but for those owning their own domain name, they are redirected to their-domain.com and www.their-domain.com don't work anymore, not fully, the files like .css and .js aren't found (nginx's logs showing that nginx try to find /var/www/www.domain.com instead of /var/www/domain.com).

I think it is because this Nginx directive:

#### www. redirect	- all domains starting with www will be redirected to http://domain. ####
    if ($host ~* ^(www\.)(.+)) {
        set $rawdomain $2;
        rewrite ^/(.*)$  http://$rawdomain/$1 permanent;
    }

In fact, I don't understand the presence of it...

Any idea?

Please hardcode the document root - instead of

root   /var/www/$host/web;

use

root   /var/www/domain.com/web;

Thanks for the trick Falko but the problem will stay for all the subdomains, istn't it?

That's possible. I didn't try the tutorial, but looking at it, I'd say

root   /var/www/$rawdomain/web;

is the correct solution.
