server {

        listen 443;
        return 403;

I want to access another sites from new root directory, /usr/share/nginx/html/www on www directory there is a wordpress.

/etc/nginx/sites-available/testingweb config:

server {
        listen 80 default_server;
        # listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;

        root /usr/share/nginx/html/www;
        index index.php index.html index.htm;


        # Make site accessible from http://localhost/
        server_name testingweb.com;

#       rewrite ^ https://$http_host$request_uri? permanent;
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;

        location / {
                # First attempt to serve request as file, then
                # as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
                try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
                # Uncomment to enable naxsi on this location
                # include /etc/nginx/naxsi.rules;
        }


   error_page 404 /404.html;

    # redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
    #
    error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
    location = /50x.html {
            root /usr/share/nginx/html;
    }

        location ~ \.php$ {
                try_files $uri =404;

        #       # With php5-fpm:
                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
                include fastcgi_params;
        }

#       location = /favicon.ico {
#               alias /usr/share/nginx/html/favicon.ico;
#       }


        # deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
        # concurs with nginx's one
        #
        location ~ /\.ht {
                deny all;
        }
}

According the configs, what's wrong with my config ? i cannot access the wordpress file on /usr/share/nginx/html/www directory by domain testingweb.com ? its always redirect to default host instead of testingweb host ?

sorry for my bad english..

Solution

This is a revised version of the nginx configuration from your pastebin code:

server {
        listen 80;
        # listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
        # Make site accessible from http://devdev.com/
        server_name devdev.com;
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri; 
}

# HTTPS server
#
server {
        listen 443 default_server ssl;
        server_name devdev.com;
        root /var/www;
        index index.php index.html index.htm;

        # uncomment to add your access log path here
        # access_log /var/log/nginx/devdev.com.access.log main;

        ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/ssl-unified.crt;
        ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/ssl-my-private-decrypted.key;

        ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m;
        ssl_session_timeout 10m;
        keepalive_timeout 70;

        ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
        ssl_ciphers "EECDH+ECDSA+AESGCM EECDH+aRSA+AESGCM EECDH+ECDSA+SHA384 EECDH+ECDSA+SHA256 EECDH+aRSA+SHA384 EECDH+aRSA+SHA256 EECDH+aRSA+RC4 EECDH EDH+aRSA RC4 !aNULL !eNULL !LOW !3DES !MD5 !EXP !PSK !SRP !DSS +RC4 RC4";
        ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;

        location @default {
                rewrite ^/(.*) /index.php?uri=$request_uri last;
        }

        location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/index.php @default;
        }

        location ~ \.php$ {
                try_files $uri =404;

                # With php5-fpm:
                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
                include fastcgi_params;
        }

}

The first server block listening on port 80 just redirects to https://devdev.com/. This will redirect all http requests to https so you don't need any other processing rules.

The second server block listens on port 443 and will proxy requests with a path ending with .php to php-fpm (you want to double-check that it's running on a unix socket and your permissions are correct).

The location block matching the / prefix (location /) will try to match files in the request URI and handle the request appropriately. For example:

• If the request is for /index.php and the file exists, the following block will match the .php suffix and proxy to php-fpm.
• If the request is for /foo and there's no match for a file by that name, nginx will try to match /foo/index.php and then proxy to php-fpm.
• If there is still no match, try_files will use the @default location block, which just sends the request to your top-level /index.php with the request URI as parameters.

If your WordPress site is located in /var/www -- the top-level entry point should be /var/www/index.php -- this configuration should work. You might need to tweak the configurations based on your WordPress settings -- though this is generic enough that it should work without a lot of changes.

thanks for the config, but its still didn't work, when i access (http://)devdev.com its always redirect to index.html from /usr/share/nginx/html..

The problem was solved. Its caused by wrong location / { .. } in SSL server block. Thank you so much for your help @kchan
