Cannot setup multiple domains

#1

Hi,

I am trying to setup multiple domains for my website on local machine. Following is the server block.

server { 
server_name upsite.com www.upsite.com upsite.de www.upsite.de;


access_log /var/log/nginx/upsite.com.access.log rt_cache;
error_log /var/log/nginx/upsite.com.error.log;


root /var/www/upsite.com/htdocs;



index index.php index.html index.htm;


include common/php.conf;

include common/wpcommon.conf;
include common/locations.conf;
include /var/www/upsite.com/conf/nginx/*.conf;

}

I added additional domains to server_name and I restarted ee stack.

When I run

ping upsite.de

It does not show local IP address 127.0.0.1, even when I open upsite.de in browser, it gets redirected to some other site.

Can anyone please guide me what should be the issue? I am using latest version of easyengine.

Regards

You need to point dns entry in your /etc/hosts file like this

127.0.0.1 upsite.de

a quick question about this should we be using 127.0.0.1 or the ip of our server?

In /etc/hosts you use 127.0.0.1.

In DNS you use your public IP.

hey there @janiosarmento is this a MUST?

i mean, do we HAVE to add te entry into the hosts file?

In an ideal world you’d never touch /etc/hosts. But sometimes we need use it, specially during slow DNS propagation cases.

ahhhh so the purpose of editing the hosts file is to stop the system looking externally and connecting to localhost…
