Serving jekyll generated site

Server NGINX
1

Hi all,

i’m trying to serve my blog made with jekyll and nginx. The blog should
be hosted at
http://www.mydomain.com/blog. The problem is that all css, images and
the posts are
available at /css , /images and /2010/01/18/blogpost.html so they refere
to the
http://mydomain.com/ although physically they are located at blog/…

Here you can see how it is stored on my server:

/var/www/blog$ ls
2008 css images index.html
xxx@xxx: /var/www/blog$

This is my nginx setup:

    location / {
            alias   /var/www/blog/;
    }

    location /blog {
            root    /var/www;
            index   index.html index.htm;
    }

So with this setup i can serve all pages but the problem is that if
somebody access http://www.mydomain.com,
they will see the blog. This is not my expected behavior.

Could you please help me to set things up?

Thanks, Mike

This is my nginx setup:

    location / {
            alias   /var/www/blog/;
    }

    location /blog {
            root    /var/www;
            index   index.html index.htm;
    }

Your config file is incorrect.

I would do something like:

server {
listen 80;

location / {
root /var/www/blog;
index index.html index.htm;
}
}

My bad:

server {
listen 80;
root /whatever/path;

location /blog {
root /var/www/blog;
index index.html index.htm;
}
}
