Nginx redirect to your website

where did you add ?

When you create a new nginx vhost domain via centmin.sh menu option 2 or menu option 22 or via /usr/bin/nv cli command line, you will create the Nginx vhost files and directories. You will get an outputted the path location where it will create the domain name's vhost conf file named newdomain.com.conf (and newdomain.com.ssl.conf if you selected yes to self signed SSL)

• Nginx vhost conf path will be at /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/newdomain.com.conf
• Nginx HTTP/2 SSL vhost conf path will be at /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/newdomain.com.ssl.conf
• Nginx Self-Signed SSL Certificate Directory at /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl/newdomain.com
• Vhost public web root will be at /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public
• Vhost log directory will be at /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/log

Please post the contents of /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/newdomain.com.conf and if applicable /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/newdomain.com.ssl.conf wrapped in CODE tags (outlined at How to use forum BBCODE code tags)

 

post to forums here ? how are you posting the contents ?

just use cat to output contents of /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/newdomain.com.conf in ssh client session

Code (Text):

cat /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/newdomain.com.conf

then copy and paste output to pastebin/gist.github.com or forum here in CODE tags

 

is there really that much space in access_log line between equal sign and 256k ?

Code (Text):

access_log /home/nginx/domains/mysite.com/log/access.log combined buffer=                     256k flush=60m;

should be

Code (Text):

access_log /home/nginx/domains/mysite.com/log/access.log combined buffer=256k flush=60m;

as to redirect did you edit /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/newdomain.com.conf and replace

Code (Text):

  location / {

# block common exploits, sql injections etc
#include /usr/local/nginx/conf/block.conf;

  # Enables directory listings when index file not found
  #autoindex  on;

  # Shows file listing times as local time
  #autoindex_localtime on;

  # Enable for vBulletin usage WITHOUT vbSEO installed
  # More example Nginx vhost configurations at
  # http://centminmod.com/nginx_configure.html
  #try_files    $uri $uri/ /index.php;

  }

with

Code (Text):

location / {
  location = /index.php {
    return 302 http://www.domain.com/forum/;
  }
}

basically the location /{} context inner contents between outer most {} brackets needs changing

 

you edit /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/newdomain.com.conf and replace the location / match with the one mentioned at Nginx - redirect to your website | Centmin Mod Community

 

need to learn how to edit using linux text editor in ssh

read up on nano text editor - so you can edit files in sshd via nano linux text editor - read up more about nano here and here.

practice on test text files in ssh session

 

whenever you edit nginx files, you need to restart nginx server for the changes to take effect either

Code (Text):

service nginx restart

or command shortcut for centmin mod lemp stacks (faq item 16 has list of command shortcuts)

Code (Text):

ngxrestart

then you can check your redirect headers using curl command in ssh and look for where the location header redirects to

Code (Text):

curl -I http://www.mysite.com/index.php

you have the 302 temp redirect for www version of your site

Code (Text):

 location = /index.php {
    return 302 http://www.mysite.com/community/;
}

 

do you have a index.html file in same page as your index.php file at your web root at /home/nginx/domains/mysite.com/public ?

if you do the index.html by default takes priority over index.php if you visit web root of site unless you edit

Code (Text):

  location / {
 location = /index.php {
    return 302 http://www.mysite.com/community/;
}

to below to add index and redefine the priority order in this case index.php first then index.html then index.htm

Code (Text):

  location / {
 index index.php index.html index.htm;
 location = /index.php {
    return 302 http://www.mysite.com/community/;
}

 

did you upload your files to web root of your account at /home/nginx/domains/mysite.com/public ?

what's output for this command in SSH client

Code (Text):

ls -lah /home/nginx/domains/mysite.com/public | egrep 'index.'

you'd have your index.php page and/or index.html

if it's empty without either page, then yes default nginx will give 403 error permission denied as it expects an index page. So you can just create a dummy index.php at /home/nginx/domains/mysite.com/public

if index.php doesn't exist at /home/nginx/domains/mysite.com/public, using ssh client type

Code (Text):

cd /home/nginx/domains/mysite.com/public
touch index.php

to create an empty index.php file at /home/nginx/domains/mysite.com/public
