i want to setup a server like this

dev.mydomain.com

• dev.mydomain.com/mysite1 (alias /var/html/mysite1)


• dev.mydomain.com/mysite2 (alias /var/html/mysite2)

What I want to achieve is for dev.mydomain.com/mysite1/index.html load relative urls from dev.mydomain.com/mysite1 and not from dev.mydomain.com. I know this is the default behavior but can something be done about it ? Maybe using some rewrite in the location block ?

Thanks !

It is the browser which decides what are the full URLs to use when requesting resources from a server.

Let's assume the webroot is /var/www/html directory on the server. Let's assum

If the HTML URL for resource is specified like src="/path/to/file", then browser will request http://example.com/path/to/file and nginx will send the file in /var/www/html/path/to/file.

Now, if the browser has loaded URL http://example.com/page1 and there is a resource link src="resourcefile", then browser will request http://example.com/page1/resourcefile, and nginx will send the file in `/var/www/html/page1/resourcefile.

This means that you can reach your objective by using path-relative URLs that don't start with / in your links. However, this is not practical.

I would recommend that you set up subdomains (mysite1.mydomain.com and mysite2.mydomain.com) for your development sites, and new virtual hosts on your web server.
