Hi! When I visit a domain that points to my webserver, but has no website created in ISPConfig, I get redirected to a site that belongs to a client. I found some posts about apache which explained that apache automatically redirects to the first vhost in alphabetical order. How does this work in nginx? I tried to create a 000-default.tld vhost, but I still get redirected to the customers website.
It should be the same in nginx. Create a new website in ispconfig with the name: 000default.tld to catch the requests. this website must use the same IP settings. e.g. when all your sites use a IP and not *, then the default site must use a IP as well. as IP addresses are a stronger match then wildcards.
Ok, it partially works. All my websites use * as ipv4 address. When i use * in my 000default.tld website, I still get redirected to the client's website strangely. But when i manually edit the vhost file, and change *:80 to "1.2.3.4:80", it works. However, i cant choose the IP-address in the ispconfig-interface, only *. So my manual changes in the vhost-file will be overwritten. How can i solve this?
well, that didn't really work: when I choose the IP in my 000default.tld domain, every domain on my server suddenly pointed to this domain. I quickly selected the IP instead of * for every website on my server. Now it's back to where I started: every domain that points to my server, but doesn't have a website points to the clients website again. So the 000default.tld again doesn't have top priority.
I have still been unable to solve this problem. I also found out that when I type the IP address of my webserver into the browser, i also get redirected to the client's domain. Here is the vhost file. Maybe the problem lies here? Code: server { listen 1.2.3.4:80; server_name clientdomain.tld www.clientdomain.tld; root /var/www/clientdomain.tld/web; if ($http_host = "clientdomain.tld") { rewrite ^ $scheme://www.clientdomain.tld$request_uri? permanent; } index index.html index.htm index.php index.cgi index.pl index.xhtml; error_page 400 /error/400.html; error_page 401 /error/401.html; error_page 403 /error/403.html; error_page 404 /error/404.html; error_page 405 /error/405.html; error_page 500 /error/500.html; error_page 502 /error/502.html; error_page 503 /error/503.html; recursive_error_pages on; loctldion = /error/400.html { internal; } loctldion = /error/401.html { internal; } loctldion = /error/403.html { internal; } loctldion = /error/404.html { internal; } loctldion = /error/405.html { internal; } loctldion = /error/500.html { internal; } loctldion = /error/502.html { internal; } loctldion = /error/503.html { internal; } error_log /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/clientdomain.tld/error.log; access_log /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/clientdomain.tld/access.log combined; loctldion ~ /\. { deny all; access_log off; log_not_found off; } loctldion = /favicon.ico { log_not_found off; access_log off; } loctldion = /robots.txt { allow all; log_not_found off; access_log off; } loctldion /sttlds { index index.html index.php; auth_basic "Members Only"; auth_basic_user_file /var/www/clients/client6/web6/web/sttlds/.htpasswd_sttlds; } loctldion ^~ /awsttlds-icon { alias /usr/share/awsttlds/icon; } loctldion ~ \.php$ { try_files /c4e2a8245934966216a8f013c75a01fe.htm @php; } loctldion @php { try_files $uri =404; include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9015; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; } loctldion / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args; } rewrite /wp-admin$ $scheme://$host$uri/ permanent; loctldion ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|css|js|ico)$ { expires max; log_not_found off; } } server { listen 1.2.3.4:80; server_name aliasdomain.tld; if ($http_host = "aliasdomain.tld") { rewrite ^ $scheme://www.aliasdomain.tld$request_uri? permanent; } rewrite ^ http://www.clientdomain.tld$request_uri? redirect; } server { listen 1.2.3.4:80; server_name www.aliasdomain.tld; rewrite ^ http://www.clientdomain.tld$request_uri? redirect; }

This looks lie a vhost created by ISPConfig. Was there no default vhost coming with nginx when you installed it?
Hi! Yes, I created the 000default website in ISPConfig - this is the vhost for it. I thought that is the way to do it. I also have a default vhost of nginx. The file ist just called "default". Should I just rename this file to 000default, and delete the website I created in ISPConfig? This is the content of the default nginx file: Code: # You may add here your # server { # ... # } # statements for each of your virtual hosts to this file ## # You should look at the following URL's in order to grasp a solid understanding # of Nginx configuration files in order to fully unleash the power of Nginx. # http://wiki.nginx.org/Pitfalls # http://wiki.nginx.org/QuickStart # http://wiki.nginx.org/Configuration # # Generally, you will want to move this file somewhere, and start with a clean # file but keep this around for reference.

Was this issue resolved successfully? I have a similar situation on my server. All the sites are selected to point to an IP address. BUt going to the IP address pulls up a client site rather than the default index.html. in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ I have a symlink from Code: [B]default[/B] -> /etc/nginx/sites-available/default Should I be able to create a symlink from 000default.tld.vhost to /etc/nginx/sites-available/default Unfortunately I can't remember how it worked before I started adding domains to it. This is on a fresh install following the tutorial with nginx on debian wheezy. Thanks in advance for any tips.
Also I noticed in my /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ directory the links are named such as Code: 000-apps.vhost 000-ispconfig.vhost so should Code: 000default.tld.vhost show up as Code: 000-default.tld.vhost ?
Hi! I resolved this by just manually creating a symlink in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled that points to my default vhost, like so: Code: ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/default /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/000-default My default file looks like this: Code: server { listen 1.2.3.4:80; listen [::]:80 default ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6 root /usr/share/nginx/html; index index.html index.htm; # Make site accessible from http://localhost/ server_name localhost; location / { # First attempt to serve request as file, then # as directory, then fall back to index.html try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html; # Uncomment to enable naxsi on this location # include /etc/nginx/naxsi.rules } location /doc/ { alias /usr/share/doc/; autoindex on; allow 127.0.0.1; deny all; } } In my /usr/share/nginx/html/index.html I just put a welcome message.
What's strange is that I have 2 IP addresses configured on my server. For the secondary IP, going to the IP address in the browser pulls up the default page as it should. I tried your symlink suggestion and after restarting I get the same result.
