How to configure Nginx virtual host in CentOS 7.3

Experimental environment

A minimally installed CentOS 7.3 virtual machine

Configure the basic environment

1. Install nginx

yum install -y epel-*
yum isntall -y nginx vim

2. Create the site root directory of the virtual machine host

mkdir /var/wwwroot
mkdir /var/wwwroot/site1
mkdir /var/wwwroot/site2
echo -e "site1" >> /var/wwwroot/site1/index.html
echo -e "site2" >> /var/wwwroot/site2/index.html 

3. Disable CentOS firewall

setenforce 0
systemctl stop firewalld
systemctl disable firewalld 

Configuring port-based virtual hosts

1. Edit the nginx configuration file

vim /etc/nginx/conf.d/vhosts.conf

2. Add the following content

server {
  listen 8081;
  root /var/wwwroot/site1;
  index index.html;

  location / {
  }
}
server {
 listen 8082;
 root /var/wwwroot/site2;
 index index.html;

 location / {
 }
} 

3. Start nginx service

systemctl start nginx

4. Access two sites on the host

http://192.168.204.135:8081/
http://192.168.204.135:8082/

Configuring domain-based virtual hosts

1. Re-edit the nginx configuration file

vim /etc/nginx/conf.d/vhosts.conf

2. Delete the original content and add the following content again

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name site1.test.com;
  root /var/wwwroot/site1;
  index index.html;

  location / {
  }
}
server {
 listen 80;
 server_name site2.test.com;
 root /var/wwwroot/site2;
 index index.html;

 location / {
 }
} 

3. Restart nginx service

systemctl restart nginx

4. Modify the hosts file on Windows

Edit C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file,

Add the following content (modify according to actual situation)

192.168.204.135 site1.test.com

192.168.204.135 site2.test.com

5. Access two sites on the host

http://site1.test.com/
http://site2.test.com/

Configuring IP-based virtual hosts

1. Add two IP addresses to the virtual machine

ifconfig ens33:1 192.168.204.151
ifconfig ens33:2 192.168.204.152

2. Re-edit the nginx configuration file

vim /etc/nginx/conf.d/vhosts.conf

3. Delete the original content and add the following content again

server {
  listen 192.168.204.151:80;
  root /var/wwwroot/site1;
  index index.html;

  location / {
  }
}
server {
 listen 192.168.204.152:80;
 root /var/wwwroot/site2;
 index index.html;

 location / {
 }
} 

4. Restart nginx service

systemctl restart nginx

5. Access two sites on the host

http://192.168.204.151/
http://192.168.204.152/
