I'm using Debian, most recent dotdeb nginx-lite.
I've read that the first server
section found by nginx will be used as the fallback/default section used if there is no specific server section for a domain.
I deleted sites-available
and sites-enabled
from my installation because I use a dedicated mount /www
for everything http related.
My /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
has these lines including other confs:
include /www/conf.d/nginx/default.conf;
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
include /www/conf.d/nginx/*;
default.conf looks like:
server {
server_name 0.0.0.0;
listen 0.0.0.0:80;
rewrite ^ http://mymaintarget.com permanent;
}
This does not work for me. I still get this warning:
Restarting nginx: nginxnginx: [warn] conflicting
server name "0.0.0.0" on 0.0.0.0:80, ignored
Im pretty sure there is no other server section and default.conf is the first one included / used.
Anybody knows what's wrong or how the correct way of configuring a default server is?
Update full config files:
nginx.conf:
user www-data;
worker_processes 8;
pid /run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 768;
}
http {
sendfile on;
tcp_nopush on;
tcp_nodelay on;
keepalive_timeout 10;
types_hash_max_size 2048;
server_tokens off;
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
gzip on;
gzip_disable "msie6";
gzip_vary on;
# Default VirtualHost
include /www/conf.d/nginx/default.conf;
# conf.d is empty anyways
#include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
# VirtualHosts
include /www/conf.d/nginx/*;
}
default.conf:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
rewrite ^ http://blog.flowl.info permanent;
}
To set a default server:
The default_server parameter will include any other domain, ip etc
More info nginx
"default.conf" gets included, and then gets included again in
/www/conf.d/nginx/*
I removed the first include, and renamed "default.conf" to "_default.conf" so the file is the first to be included in the wildcard include.
