Ruby Forum NGINX > catchall domain with 0.6.30

Hey guys,

I'm trying to convert some virtual hosts to nginx currently and got it
running side-by-side with the current webserver on another ip.
Now I'm trying to set up the catchall host as taken from the docs but
I'm getting just an error message.
I must be doing something completely wrong, maybe you can point me at 
it.

My conf for that part is as follows:
    server {
        listen          80.xxx.xxx.xxx:80;
        server_name     _ *;
        access_log      /var/log/nginx/catchall-access.log main;
        include /etc/nginx/phplocation.conf;

        location / {
            index index.html;
            root  /home/path/image-server;
        }
    }

And the error is the usual
server name "*" is invalid in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:64

Any ideas?


Regards,

thomas

listen          80.xxx.xxx.xxx:80 default;

The "*" was ugly hack that now is replaced with

  server_name_in_redirect  off;

The "*" has almost the same functionality, but not catchall function.

Now you may set

   server {
        server_name   _;
        # or server_name  some.name;

        server_name_in_redirect  off;

The catchall server for given ip:port is the first server or defined
excplicity with "default" keyword:

        listen          80.xxx.xxx.xxx:80 default;

Thanks, thats something I missed.

Hi Igor,

if you add the default to listen directive you can take out the 
server_name.
