i have this, which seemed like it would work according to my attempt
just a week ago…
server {
listen 80;
index index.php index.html;
server_name ~^foo(.*?).bar.ssgisp.com$;
root /home/mike/web/foo$1;
include /etc/nginx/defaults.conf;
include /etc/nginx/development.conf;
include /etc/nginx/expires.conf;
location ~ .php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:11001;
}
}
this is what the log shows in debug mode:

All I want is
foo.mike.bar.com
foo2.mike.bar.com
foo-anything.mike.bar.com
to map to /home/mike/web/foo, /home/mike/web/foo2,
/home/mike/web/foo-anything, etc…
Am I missing something here? and why is it capturing ‘html’ in the
capture? I’m only creating a $1 from the server_name, is “html” a
default somewhere?

First, “~^foo(.?).bar.ssgisp.com$" will never match
“foo2.mike.bar.com”.
Second, "~^foo(.?).bar.com$” will capture “2.mike” with
“foo2.mike.bar.com”.
As to
2009/04/30 14:43:25 [debug] 8702#0: *16 http script capture: “html”
Probably somewhere in
include /etc/nginx/defaults.conf;
include /etc/nginx/development.conf;
include /etc/nginx/expires.conf;
this “html” is captured.
nginx configuration is declarative except ugly if/rewrite.
And these if/rewrite will run before the root variable substitution even
if root is described before if/rewrite:
root /home/mike/web/foo$1;
if (...)
sorry, that was supposed to be bar.com - i just messed up substituting

First, “~^foo(.?).bar.ssgisp.com$" will never match “foo2.mike.bar.com”.
Second, "~^foo(.?).bar.com$” will capture “2.mike” with “foo2.mike.bar.com”.
You’re right though, something in the files is messing with my matching.
What is it in this file that is setting up some sort of capture?
For some reason this turns a
foo123.mike.bar.com into /home/mike/web/foo, not foo123
does -any- regular expression mess with the regexps
location ^~ /robots.txt {
auth_basic off;
root /etc/nginx/robots;
break;
}
if ($http_user_agent ~* googlebot) {
return 404;
break;
}
if ($http_user_agent ~* looksmart) {
return 404;
break;
}
if ($http_user_agent ~* crawl) {
return 404;
break;
}
if ($http_user_agent ~* robot) {
return 404;
break;
}
if ($http_user_agent ~* findlinks) {
return 404;
break;
}
if ($http_user_agent ~* infoseek) {
return 404;
break;
}
if ($http_user_agent ~* search) {
return 404;
break;
}

so … how can i use root captures but still have these other options?
make a location / {} block and then put the sub-includes in with it?
server_name ~...
set $name $1;
root /....$name;
The “set” runs early as well as “if/rewrite”.
2009/4/30 Igor S. [email protected]:
    include /etc/nginx/expires.conf;
this “html” is captured.
yep
cat expires.conf
location ~* .(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|html)$ {
expires max;
access_log off;
}

You do not “break” here. This is waste of CPU cycles.
}
if ($http_user_agent ~* search) {
return 404;
break;

The “break” after “return” costs nothing, but useless.
Also, it’ better to combine all check in single regex - it will be run
much faster:
if ($http_user_agent ~* “googlebot|looksmart|…”) {
return 404;
}

Thanks for the pointers. Originally I was doing it one at a time just
to keep it simple. I can clean that up.

any ideas on how to get development.conf and defaults.conf to work
with the root regex? even with the “set” it still seems to not capture
it at the right time.
It should work, could you create debug log of request ?
The only “if/rewrite/set” order is important. If “set” is first, then
it should save the capture in $name.

As it was discovered, the configuration has no “location /”.
nginx runs if/set/rewrite scripts twice: once in server context, and
once in locaiton context. Any server has special empty location context.
If you have no “location /” nginx runs “set $name $1” again in location
context. This why the simple (even empty)
location / { }
is usefull.

like that?
you saw development.conf in the last email…
expires.conf (this causes an issue)
location ~* .(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|html)$ {
expires max;
access_log off;
}
defaults.conf (this is okay):
location ~ /.ht {
deny all;
}
location = /robots.txt {
log_not_found off;
}
location = /favicon.ico {
log_not_found off;
}
log_not_found off;
