I'm starting out with nginx and I'm stumbling at something I thought simple, but that I haven't been able to figure out, yet.
I need to map three domain names, each one to its own subdirectory under the document root directory (/usr/share/nginx/html/) on a shared host:
domain1 ---> ../html/blog
domain2 ---> ../html/wiki
domain3 ---> ../html/forum
If this is feasible, and I'd guess it is, then I'm not sure how to begin setting up locations that will serve requests from those subdirectories.
In all cases, when trying something like www.domain1.com, nginx invariably maps to the root directory. Typing www.domain1.com/blog, for example, works just fine. I know I must be missing some essential info on how to configure nginx for this type of thing, and any hint or direction would be appreciated.
