How to setup multisite?

[git-gnulf]

Hi all,

I want to test the multisite feature. I have found the settings in Settings > Sites and have already created a new entry for a new site. So far so good. But how do I configure nginx now? Do I create a new host.conf and simply point the root to the directory of the vvveb installation? Or is there something else to consider?

Do you have any tips?

Hi

You can use nginx default_server option https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/request_processing.html to catch all domains/subdomains that are not defined in other blocks.

server {
    listen      80 default_server;
    server_name example.net www.example.net;
    ...
}

you can also use wildcards if you want to restrict it only for certain subdomains etc

server {
    listen      80;
    server_name *.example.net *.anotherdomain.com;
    ...
}

For quick tests you can add your test domain/subdomain to /etc/hosts or C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc on windows and point it to your server ip.
