Sub-Domains on nginx

[Moses]

G'day all,

Just got the vaultwiki installed and am very impressed so far. Installation was very easy, it picked up my theme no probs, now I just need some content!

I'm running the nginx web server, and am wondering if you have any experience in setting this up for a vaultwiki domain?

Ideally I'd like to run the wiki at http://www.wiki.greenandgoldrugby.com/ , or otherwise at http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/wiki

If you've not come across nginx before then I can try and work this one out myself, I've gotta get it working for the forum first regardless.

Cheers for any advice you can give,
Moses.

We have not tried this particularly on nginx before, but typically for sub-domains it has to point to the same file system as the domain vBulletin is on. Using a redirect will not work, it has to be a CNAME or whatever your host / DNS combination calls it. I have also seen symlinks work. Once the sub-domain points to the same content you can add a plugin to check if THIS_SCRIPT == 'showwiki' else 301 redirect to the main domain.

Thanks pegasus, I've got a bit more to learn about nginx (still gotta get the forums working). If I get it going I'll post the config here
