in my vhosts file I have
server_name *.com;
root /var/www/$host;


That way all requests that are done for a .com are send to a directory specific for that .com.
However I want to do this per domain and not per host.

The way it's currently it will goto /var/www/myhost.mydomain.com is I use url http://myhost.mydomain.com and to /var/www/www.mydomain.com if I use http://www.mydomain.com.
What I would like is that for http://myhost.mydomain.com and http://www.mydomain.com and http://whatever.mydomain.com it will go to /var/www/mydomain.com

How can this be done?
(we do NOT know upfront what hostname will be used (part before the domainname), also we could have 100s of domainnames, so listing them all individualy within the vhosts file is not an option either)

Hi -

Try the following:

root /var/www/$http_host;

Thanks for the answer, however it's not doing what I wanted :-(
Other ideas?

try:

server_name ~(?<domain>\.[^.]+\.com)$

root /var/www/$domain;

Sorry:

server_name ~\.(?<domain>[^.]+\.com)$

otherwise, "." before the domain name will be captured into $domain as well. It's easy to mess up with regex :)

@dirkb - Did this resolve your problem? I believe this is my issue as well, please look at this post:
