nginx server configuration: subdomain to folder

Question

I migrated from Apache 2 to nginx and I\'ve got problems to handly my subdomain control. What I want: When x.domain.tld is requested, internally rewrite to doma

As I found this Q&A on Google while looking for a solution for the same problem, I wanted to post the solution I finally used.

The first server block by MTeck looks pretty nice, but for the subdomains part you could simply do the following:

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name "~^(?.+)\.domain\.tld$";

  root /path/to/document/root/$sub;

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

  location ~ \.php {
    include fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_pass  unix:/etc/nginx/sockets/domain.socket;
  }
}

This makes the root configuration directive dependent on the subdomain.
