Single server with multiple hierarchies

Server NGINX
1

Hi,

My directory structure is:
/usr/share/nginx/www
/magento/current ← This is my application
/phpmyadmin

I changed the root of the server to
/usr/share/nginx/www/magento/current.

Now my app works perfectly when I access http://myserver/index.php.

I would like to configured phpmyadmin such that it is accessible as
http://myserver/phpmyadmin/index.php.

Please note that the root of my application is different than the root
of phpmyadmin and both are to be served from the same server.

If I create a location with ^~ /phpmyadmin/ can I set a root in it? Will
I have to do something to pass the index.php to FCGI. Will this have to
be done in the location directive?

Thanks,
Yash

You changed the server{}-level “root” directive, so that any location{}
that does not include its own “root” directive will use that one.

A http request comes in, and is processed by exactly one location. An
internal rewrite may cause it to then be processed by one other
location. This can happen again.

Yes to each. You’ll probably want to nest locations, like

location ^~ /phpmyadmin/ {
#root and other directives
location ~ php {
#php-relevant directives
}
}

Good luck with it,

Bang on target. Nested locations worked perfectly.

Hi yashgt,

I’m having a similar issue trying to get Magento and WordPress running
on a
single IP. On Apache this is easy using vhost. I’ve never used nginx
before,
so don’t know it all that well. I’ve read and done lots of googling and
your
post seems to be the closest to what I’m trying to archive. Would it be
possible for you to post a copy of you config>

Cheers,

Martin

That’d be different problem. Check this docs:
