I'm trying to configure nginx as a reverse proxy for two websites on the same server. This is what I'm doing:
upstream alpha {
server localhost:49212;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name alpha.example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://alpha;
}
}
upstream beta {
server localhost:49213;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name beta.example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://beta;
}
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name "";
return 444;
}
It starts and doesn't complain about anything. Then, when I open alpha.example.com or beta.example.com - I always end up at http://localhost:49212. Moreover, no matter what URL I open on port 80, http://localhost:49212 is rendered.
This is not what I'd expect. I want only http://alpha.example.com to be redirected/proxied to http://localhost:49212 and nothing else. Looks like nginx doesn't pay attention to the Host HTTP header and just redirects everything to the first upstream.
What is wrong?
