I currently have a bunch of working static files at the domain name khairulslt.me (from NameCheap). Recently, I've tried setting up a subdomain (khairulslt.me/RGBGame) as seen in the code below; However, I keep getting 404 errors. What am i missing out?
server {
listen 80;
index circles.html;
server_name khairulslt.me www.khairulslt.me;
location / {
root /var/www/khairulslt.me;
add_header 'Cache-Control' 'no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, proxy-
revalidate, max-age=0';
expires off;
}
location /RGBGame {
alias /var/www/RGBGame/colorGame.html;
index colorGame.html;
}
}
PS: I want to serve the new files as a working web app under the same Digital Ocean droplet that I'm using for the circles app.
Solved it. Needed to change this block of code here:
location /RGBGame {
root /var/www/khairulslt.me;
index colorGame.html;
try_files $uri $uri/ /var/www/RGBGame/colorGame.html?q=$uri&$args;
autoindex off;
}
Will leave my final configuration here in case it helps anyone:
server {
server_name khairulslt.me www.khairulslt.me;
autoindex off;
location / {
root /var/www/khairulslt.me;
index circles.html;
}
listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/khairulslt.me/fullchain.pem; # managed by
Certbot
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/khairulslt.me/privkey.pem; # managed
by Certbot
include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot
location /RGBGame {
root /var/www/khairulslt.me/RGBGame;
index colorGame.html;
try_files $uri $uri/ /var/www/RGBGame/colorGame.html?q=$uri&$args;
autoindex off;
}
location /robots.txt { return 200 "User-agent: *\nDisallow: /\n";
}
}
server {
if ($host = www.khairulslt.me) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
if ($host = khairulslt.me) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
listen 80;
server_name khairulslt.me www.khairulslt.me;
return 404; # managed by Certbot
}
What this config does:
1) Serve static files, Web App #1, aka bunch of html/css/js files) at the URL khairulslt.me
2) Serve second set of static files, Web App #2, aka bunch of html/css/js files) at the URL khairulslt.me/RGBGame
