NGINX Setup with WordPress Multisite - php

Question

I wanted to know the configuration for WordPress Multisite when the main site is in the root and the others in /site-name/
For example:
Main website: http://www.example.com/ Second website: http://www.example.com/second-site/ Third site: http://www.example.com/thrid-site/
I looked for the setting, but I only found it with subdomains.

Answer 1

Let's say your folder structure is as follows:
/root_folder/*
/root_folder2/second-site/*
/root_folder3/third-site/*
Then you need:
server {
server_name www.example.com;
root /root_folder/;
location / {
# code
}
location /second-site {
root /root_folder2/;
# code
}
location /third-site {
root /root_folder3/;
# code
}
}
It's important not to add the /second-site and /third-site in the root directive as Nginx will automatically add requested subpaths to the root path at request.
If your folder structure is as follows:
/root_folder/*
/root_folder/second-site
/root_folder/third-site
You only need
server {
server_name www.example.com;
root /root_folder/;
location / {
# code
}
}
And Nginx will do the rest for you.
