One Nginx config for working with a bunch of different sites

If you had to configure Nginx for the needs of a web studio, SEOs or cybersquatters;), then you probably already know about the underscore character as server_name. Nevertheless, several other useful tricks from my example can be gathered.

To create a new site on a server with this configuration, it is enough to create a directory with the site name and upload content to it. And the configuration file remains unique and unchanged.

The config does the following:
1. Cuts off the "www" from the address, so that the server finds the directory with the site despite these letters in the URL.
2. Gives a separate page when requesting a non-existent site.
3. Makes a standard redirect to index.php in the root of the site when requesting a nonexistent path.
4. Forwards the request to php-fpm when calling .php files.
5. Adds the ability to process .htm (l) files as PHP.

Directories for sites are created in / var / www / all /.
Simlinks from www to without www are not required.
In the directory / var / www / all / undefined put the site-gag when calling non-existent sites.
If you need to process all html files as PHP in some site, then you should put an empty “.parse_html” file in the root of this site.
Below is the site configuration file. It can be put in / etc / nginx / sites_enabled / default.

The restriction is, perhaps, one thing: rewriting only on index.php in the root. But for 99.9% of the sites that I have to spud, this option is suitable.
