To Configure Nginx Virtualhost in FreeBSD
Virtual hosting is a technique used to run more than one website on a single server. It allows the users to use multiple host names while sharing its resources. This article explains the configuration process of Nginx Virtual Host in FreeBSD.

Utilize the following command to check whether the Nginx is installed or not.
root@linuxhelp:~ # service -e
.
.
.
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/php-fpm
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/nginx
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server
.
.
.
Done!
Create a new directory for virtualhost domains.
root@linuxhelp:~ # mkdir -p /var/www/vhost1.com
root@linuxhelp:~ # mkdir -p /var/www/vhost2.com
Then create the index.html file for both virtualhost domains.
root@linuxhelp:~ # nano /var/www/vhost1.com/index.html FIRST VHOST This is first virtualhost....! root@linuxhelp:~ # nano /var/www/vhost2.com/index.html SECOND VHOST This is Second virtualhost....!
Now you need to configure the virtual host in nginx.conf file.
Configure virtualhost within the “ http” tag.
root@linuxhelp:~ # nano /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
.
.
.
http {
.
.
.
#first virtualhost
server {
listen 80
server_name test.vhost1.com
location / {
root /var/www/vhost1.com
index index.html index.htm
}
}
#second virtualhost
server {
listen 80
server_name test.vhost2.com
location / {
root /var/www/vhost2.com
index index.html index.htm
}
}
}
Immediately add the virtualhost domain in the hosts file.
root@linuxhelp:~ # nano /etc/hosts
192.168.5.130 test.vhost1.com
192.168.5.130 test.vhost2.com
Restart the Nginx service to take effect.
root@linuxhelp:~ # service nginx restart
