Hello,

As helpful and nice people in this mailing list seem to ignore my  
previous message, let’s try to ask about a different problem. 🙂

nginx 0.8.22  
– configure options:  
./configure --prefix=/u01/nginx  
–http-log-path=/var/log/nginx-access.log   
–http-client-body-temp-path=/u02/nginx-client-temp   
–http-proxy-temp-path=/u02/nginx-proxy-temp   
–http-fastcgi-temp-path=/u02/nginx-fcgi-temp   
–error-log-path=/var/log/nginx-error.log   
–pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid

VHosts trouble. Supposed to be:

[_] (www.)[site.com](http://site.com) → proxied to local Apache at 8181  
[_] [bs.site.com](http://bs.site.com) → proxied to local Apache at 8282

Does not work, always proxies to 8181.

## I’ve tried like a gazillion of configurations, here’s the latest one:

# ==================================

if your configuration in i don’t know where:  
upstream main {  
server localhost:8181;  
}  
upstream bs {  
server localhost:8282;  
}

i guess that you should make 2 file in sites-available containing:  
server {  
listen 80;  
server\_name [site.com](http://site.com) [www.site.com](http://www.site.com);  
location / {  
proxy\_pass [http://main](http://main)  
}  
}  
and:  
server {  
listen 80;  
server\_name [bs.site.com](http://bs.site.com);  
location / {  
proxy\_pass [http://bs](http://bs)  
}  
}

maybe ^^, i don’t know yet, would you like to try it?

Hello,

Thanks for the reply. I don’t get really what you’re proposing - there  
are 2 server{} elements for VHosts in main config file.

a debug log usually helps (–with-debug, error\_log /path/to/error.log  
debug;)

oic, i’m sorry, after i reread your mail, my proposal was already like  
your configuration ^^,  
hmm…  
what happened if you remove the [site.com](http://site.com) ?  
and what happened if you remove the trailing slash [http://main/](http://main/); into  
[http://main](http://main); ?

I’ve found the cause.

In gzip\_types I’ve had types listed with comma inbetween, while they  
should be with space.

What’s weird that configs got parsed partially - stuff seem to be  
working except for quirks like this.
