Ruby Forum NGINX > rewrite catch all subdomain

Hi,

I'm having some troubles trying to catch all anything in the subdomain
and redirect to mydomain.com:8080.

It should be simple but I try somethings but I couldn't made it work.


Thank you

Try this:

location / {
    rewrite .* http://mydomain.com:8080$uri last;
}

Thank You Denis,

It's strange, If I enter directly on domain.com:8080 I receive an error 
(of the Firefox): "The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this 
address in a way that will never complete."

If I enter www.domain.com:8080 I am redirected to domain.com:8080 and I 
got that error.

But if I go to anything.domain.com:8080 I receive the "Server not found" 
error.

     server {
         listen  8080;
         server_name   domain.com;
         ...
     }

     server {
         listen  8080 default;
         server_name   *.domain.com;

         rewrite ^ http://mydomain.com:8080$uri last;
     }

Not sure what exactly it means. Could be a redirection loop.
Try wget, its output is more verbose and sensible.

Looks like there's no wildcard DNS record for *.domain.com

I'm not pretty sure what I'm doing, hehe. I have to open a new  server 
{.....} right?

But If I do it when I try to start nginx I receive this error:
Starting nginx: 2008/03/10 14:22:33 [emerg] 17834#0: directive "server" 
in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:81 is not allowed here

You configuraiton file should have the following structure:

http {

     server {
          location ... {
          }

          location ... {
          }

          location ... {
          }
     }

     server {

     }

You did not close some bracket.

Now I think the structure is ok, but I receive another error:

Starting nginx: 2008/03/11 09:21:07 [emerg] 25934#0: first server name 
"*.domain.com" must not be wildcard in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:145

The first name in server_name could be wildcard since 0.6.25 only.
In early verisons use

server_name  www.domain.com  *.domain.com;

No.
First, in this version regex can not be first name too.
Second, .domain.com is not valid name.
Third, domain.com shoule be handled in another server.

Oh, yeah, I meant (.*\.)?domain\.com.

Got it. :-)

Sorry, Pedro.

Hi,

Something strange is happening. I try all things you have suggested, and 
try exacly the example that's in nginx wiki 
(http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxVirtualHostExample) and I simply can't 
make things work.

Is there anything I have to do in the DNS records or something like?
