Hello,

I'm having a problem configuring subdomains. When I goto mydomain.com or www.mydomain.com everything works as it should by resolving to www.mydomain.com.

However, when I go to dev.mydomain.com it resolves to www.dev.mydomain.com.

Why is it doing this?

What I'm hoping to do is have www.mydomain.com point to a Drupal 6 installation, and dev.mydomain.com point to a Drupal 7 install.

Below is my conf setup...

Thanks!

Steve

I see one potential issue. It is in the following block:

if ($host !~* ^www\.) {
rewrite ^(.*)$ http://www.$host$1 permanent;
}

If I remember correctly, most apps written in C and C++ interpret ! to mean "not", so if $host no have www. in it, rewrite it so it does have www. in it. That is placed under the server block that looks for mysite.com and www.mysite.com. If you want it to look for both and load both from the same root, you can get rid of the rewrite.

If you do want it to go to www.mysite.com no matter what, what worked for me was to have a separate server block for mysite.com, with a rewrite there:

server {
listen 80;
server_name mysite.com;
rewrite ^ http://www.mysite.com$uri permanent;
}
