Thanks Francis!

Sorry for not being clear enough.

My code base is at:

/etc/nginx/html/production/

The "site1, site2, etc..." folders do not exists at all. They are only seen and used in the public URLs.

The original config I posted in the first post works, I just don't like it because there will be hundreds of "sitesX". It is using a location block with rewrite for each site.

so, if I request

domain.com/site1/index.php

The file that is served is

/etc/nginx/html/production/index.php (not /etc/nginx/html/production/site1/index.php)

Same for ALL sites. PHP processed the /site1/ path and loads the configuration for that particular site.

So, really nothing is "broken", it is just going to be extremely ugly and possibly slow to process 200+ location blocks.

I'd like to use a location regex that could handle ALL sites in one location block if possible.

Or, I was thinking "map" may work but not sure how I could configure it.

Thanks again for the help and let me know if this makes it more clear.
