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](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/](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](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

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;  
}  
}
