Basically: some web applications can sensibly be installed in a "subfolder" of the web space, so you can access them at http://www.example.com/app1/. Other web applications insist on owning the full web space, so you must use http://app1.example.com/. If iredmail is in the latter group, then in your one nginx conf file, have one server{} block for iredmail, and a separate server{} block (with a different server_name) for your website. > I created a /var/www2 with a different index.html, but I don't see how nginx > would know which directory to use. If you have separate server{} blocks, nginx picks the one to use based on its rules. > I was able to get nginx working with my website prior to having iredmail on > the same server. Having both services on the same server is what confuses > me. They can be in the same nginx instance without a problem. The can only be in the same nginx server{} block if both play nice. In that case, you must decide how you want nginx to handle the request for "/", and configure it to do that. f -- Francis Daly [email protected] _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
