I bought another domain that I promise I’m totally going to
use for a real project. I’m not expecting too much traffic, so I
went ahead and set it up on the same server as this blog. And
this is why running your own server is pretty cool: you can’t
take two steps without learning something new. I was looking at
the access logs and I noticed that they do not include the
domain being accessed. If I load the front page of this blog, or
the front page of my other site, Nginx logs the same thing for
the request: /
.
After many minutes of searching through documentation, I found the solution. In the server block of your configuration you can specify the path to log to. So it is simply a matter of having each domain log to its own file. Like so:
server{
server_name foo.com;
access_log /var/log/nginx/foo.access.log;
}
server{
server_name bar.com;
access_log /var/log/nginx/bar.access.log;
}
And now I know, and so do you.
