Hi,

I’m beginner in nginx, and i have searched google and mailing list but  
no  
luck.

my nginx.conf:

http{  
server{  
listen 80;  
server\_name [example.com](http://example.com) [www.example.com](http://www.example.com);  
location / {  
proxy\_pass [http://127.0.0.1](http://127.0.0.1):aaaa/;  
}  
}  
server{  
listen 80;  
server\_name [subdomain.example.com](http://subdomain.example.com);  
location / {  
proxy\_pass [http://127.0.0.1](http://127.0.0.1):bbbb/;  
}  
}  
#rest of the default config like acces log, etc  
}

Problem is after adding server block for subdomain, both request (  
[example.com](http://example.com), [subdomain.example.com](http://subdomain.example.com)) loading only [example.com](http://example.com) in browser.  
If i place subdomain server block listing as first one, both request (  
[example.com](http://example.com), [subdomain.example.com](http://subdomain.example.com)) loading [subdomain.example.com](http://subdomain.example.com) in  
browser.

Please suggest me what could be the problem.

Thanks in Advance!!

Likely reason is a typo in the domain name as listen in the  
“server\_name” directives.
