My subdomain shows the content of the main domain

[deleted]

Hey everyone,

could someone help me here with my pebkac issue? 😃

Basically i have 2 folders in /var/www/html one for the subdomain and one for the main domain.

When accesing forum.example.com it leads to the content of main domain? I have no clue whats going on.

add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains; preload";
add_header X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN;
add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block";
add_header X-Robots-Tag none;

server {
    listen 80 default_server;
    listen [::]:80;

    access_log /var/www/logs/x.net.access.loxxxxg;
    error_log /var/www/logs/xxxxx.net.error.log;
    server_name forum.xxxxx.net www.forum.xxxxx.net;

    root /var/www/html/forum.xxxxxx.net;

    location / {
        index index.php index.html;

            include /var/www/html/forum.xxxx.net/.nginx.conf;

    }
}

Thats my subdomain config.

Kind regards

luceos

Thanks, i dropped default server, but still same issue.

clarkwinkelmann

one is answering http, the other is answering https. Is that intended?

[deleted]

clarkwinkelmann Honestly, how should it be? The https one has a ssl certificat linked as you see 😃

luceos

What other vhost files do you have?

[deleted]

Only those 2

luceos

[deleted] maybe you should try using a tool or get some professional help with this. I can recommend laravel forge.

[deleted]

I dont understand, do i do something wrong?

Not quite, I think Luceos is saying that this issue is an nginx issue, and is really beyond the scope of flarum. It's not something we can scalably offer support for, it's like going to a plumber to ask about your electrical wiring. I would also recommend that you either reevaluate your technical set up with tools that will do all this for you (such as laravel forge which @luceos suggested), take a bit of time to learn nginx thoroughly so that you can manage it on your own, or hire someone that will take care of dev ops for you.

This isn't related to Flarum. An attempt was made on Discord to help resolve it, but reached a roadblock.

Marking this as solved nonetheless because Flarum was cleared of being at issue.

[deleted]

A long shot, but I can't see how this will work when no path to the subdomain is specified as a server name ?

[deleted]

[deleted] ok, but what happens if you place the forum subdomain in it's own location block ?

[deleted]

[deleted] I dont understand your request. Making another location block with / will break nginx since there is a / block in the .nginx.conf already.

add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains; preload";
add_header X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN;
add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block";
add_header X-Robots-Tag none;

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    root /var/www/html/forum.xxxxxxx.net;
    index index.php;
    error_log /var/www/logs/forum.xxxxxxx.net.error.log;

    location ~ \.php$ {
        include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock;
        include         fastcgi_params;
    } 


    include /var/www/html/forum.xxxxxxx.net/.nginx.conf;
}   ```

[deleted] Oops forgot to add the server name in the paste lol

Can you review this. It's very much like what you're experiencing
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/nginx-with-a-domain-and-subdomain

[deleted]

[deleted] That does not seem to be my issue. I have 2 configs one for the root and one for the sub domain and only one server name entry on each.

[deleted]

[deleted] the only way I think we can resolve this is if I try to replicate your config in my test lab.
