Question

How can I rewrite a subdomain to an application in NGINX?

My configuration is

server {
    listen       80;
    server_name domain.com www.domain.com;

    location / {
            include        uwsgi_params;
            uwsgi_pass     127.0.0.1:9001;
            uwsgi_param    UWSGI_PYHOME PATH;
            uwsgi_param    UWSGI_SCRIPT wsgi;
            uwsgi_param    UWSGI_CHDIR PATH;
    }

    location /app1 {
            include        uwsgi_params;
            uwsgi_pass     127.0.0.1:9001;
            uwsgi_param    UWSGI_PYHOME PATH2;
            uwsgi_param    UWSGI_SCRIPT wsgi2;
            uwsgi_param    UWSGI_CHDIR PATH2;
            uwsgi_modifier1 30;
    }
}

I want to when access app1.domain.com I got rewrited to domain.com/app1. How can I do this?

Thanks in advance.

I don’t think you need to – you can add another server section like:

server {
  server_name app1.domain.com;
  location / {
    <uwsgi as before>
  }
}

rather than a location /app1 followed by a redirect. Hope that helps.
