Hello everyone! Why this config worked

```auto
server {
        ...

        #location / {
        # root path_to_my_site;
        # index index.php index.html index.htm;
        #}

        location / {
            root /srv/www/redmine/redmine/public/;
            access_log /srv/www/redmine/redmine/log/access.log;
            error_log /srv/www/redmine/redmine/log/error.log;
            index index.html index.htm;
            passenger_enabled on;
            allow all;
        }

        ...
}
```

and this not

```auto
server {
        ...

        location / {
            root path_to_my_site;
            index index.php index.html index.htm;
        }

        location /redmine {
            root /srv/www/redmine/redmine/public/;
            access_log /srv/www/redmine/redmine/log/access.log;
            error_log /srv/www/redmine/redmine/log/error.log;
            index index.html index.htm;
            passenger_enabled on;
            allow all;
        }

        ...
}
```

or exist another method to move redmine from [mydomain.com](http://mydomain.com) to  
[mydomain.com/redmine](http://mydomain.com/redmine) ?

This is not how passenger works. Actually, the one you should read is  
passenger’s documentation. How to achieve what you want is explained  
there.

You may also read the redmine documentation about installing redmine in  
a subdirectory. There are a few specialties.
