Virtualhosts and map

Wed Feb 27 11:40:27 UTC 2013

Hallo Jonathan,
I have some proplems with the english language. This is bad in the IT
section.
My problem is, i can't find an complett example to do that for education.
All I find is
the "old Way" with sites-availbled and sites-enabled, what I have done for
years.
In January I chance nginx to the new version.
My files in the folder sites-availabled
default
example1.com
example2.com
example3.com
My default file
# default server
#
server {
 listen 80 default_server;
 server_name _;
 access_log logs/default/default.access.log;
 error_log logs/default/default.error.log;

 root /www/default;

 location / {
 root /www/default;
 index index.html index.htm;
 }
 location /i/ {
 alias /www/123/;
 } 

 # redirect server error pages to the static page /40x.html
 #

 error_page 400 401 402 403 404 /40x.html;
 location = /40x.html {
 root /www/default/html;
 }
 # redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
 #
 error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
 location = /50x.html {
 root /www/default/html;
 }

If the IP (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) is type in the browser, it shows only domain
example1.com.
After a few days I found the reason for this:
Change: now if the "include" directive with mask is used on Unix
 systems, included files are sorted in alphabetical order.
My solution for this is to make a new big nginx.conf
In the part with the serverblocks the latest is the default one and all is
OK.
This solution is OK for a few domains, but not for many domains.
I read that this can be done with map. But I can't find an example for
this.
Now I am looking for examples how I can do that with map.
This from the nginx docu is not enough for me.
map $http_host $name {
 hostnames;
 default 0;
 example.com 1;
 *.example.com 1;
 example.org 2;
 *.example.org 2;
 .example.net 3;
 wap.* 4;
}
Varix
