Is it possible to make Nginx listen to different ports?

  • 772

I created one Nginx with one Linux Azure VM, is it possible to make nginx listen to different ports so that when I change the port number, the content would be different. I found there would be a collision if I created two or more ports related to HTTP on VM. Can anyone help me with that?

  1. You can also do the following:

    server {
    listen 80;
    listen 8000;
    server_name example.org;
    root /var/www/;
}

    Yes, it is.

    What you probably want is multiple "server" stanzas, each with a different port, but possibly (probably?) the same server_name, serving the "different" content appropriately within each one, maybe with a different document root in each server.

    Full documentation is here: http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/server_names.html

    Example:

    server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  example.org  www.example.org;
    root         /var/www/port80/
}

server {
    listen       81;
    server_name  example.org  www.example.org;
    root         /var/www/port81/
}
