We've Drupal multi-site (with different domain per site) running with single Drupal 8 code base and Nginx as web-server. Now we wanted to setup Drupal Milti-site with sub-directory for few websites in following format, and "subdirectory" should be case in-sensitive (i.e. site should be accessible with both "subdirectory" or "SubDirectory") :

  1. http://site1.com (Drupal multi-site, served from "sites/site1.com")
  2. http://site1.com/subdirectory (Drupal multi-site, served from "sites/site1.com.subdirectory")
  3. http://site2.com (Drupal multi-site, served from "sites/site2.com")
  4. http://site2.com/subdirectory (Drupal multi-site, served from "sites/site2.com.subdirectory")

We're running these websites on Nginx on CentOS. We've been able to get the sub-site working in following structure (but not with above structure) :

  1. http://site1.com (Static HTML page)
  2. http://site1.com/subdirectory (Drupal multi-site)

Following are nginx virtual host configuration we're using.

NOTE : I've updated nginx config to remove SSL. 

# VHOST Config. server { listen 80; server_name site1.com; root /var/www/html; index index.php index.html index.htm; # Prevent files from being accessed. location = /robots.txt { allow all; log_not_found off; access_log off; } location ~ /\.htaccess*$ { return 403; } location ~ (^|/)\. { return 403; } location ~ .*\.config$ { return 403; } location ~ /composer.*$ { return 403; } location ~ \..*/.*\.yml$ { return 403; } location / { try_files $uri $uri/ =404; } location @rewrite { try_files $uri /subdirectory/index.php?$query_string; } location /subdirectory/ { try_files $uri $uri/ @rewrite; } location ~ '\.php$|^/update.php' { include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(|/.*)$; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; } location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico)$ { expires max; log_not_found off; proxy_cache_bypass 1; } }

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Why don't you set the things differently? My idea on what it could work for you:

server { listen 80; server_name site1.com; root /var/www/sites/site1; #I suppose that in site1 it's the code for site1.com index index.php index.html index.htm; . . .#simple configuration here, don't care about site1.com/subdomain . } server { listen 80; server_name site2.com; root /var/www/sites/site2; #I suppose that in site2 it's the code for site2.com index index.php index.html index.htm; . . .#simple configuration here, don't care about site2.com/subdomain . }

AND then , you go inside of /var/www/sites/site1 and /var/www/sites/site2 , and create a symlink to ../site1.com.subdomain ../site2.com.subdomain like this:

cd /var/www/sites/site1 ln -s ../site1.com.subdomain subdomain cd /var/www/sites/site2 ln -s ../site2.com.subdomain subdomain

Like this, you have the code for each Drupal inside /var/www/sites/site1 /var/www/sites/site2 /var/www/sites/site1.com.subdomain and /var/www/sites/site2.com.subdomain

But when site1 is accessed, it'll enter /var/www/sites/site1, if site1.com/subdomain is accessed, it'll enter /var/www/sites/site1/subdomain , which following the symlink, it'll bring the connection to /var/www/sites/site1.com.subdomain.

Isn't this what you need? Or I did read wrong the question?

  • Drupal by default support multi site, bcoz of which I'm using same code base. I can not create different vhost bcoz for multisite with subdirectory, I need same domain, like mentioned in question. Commented Jul 5, 2019 at 16:04

Following is working solution for Drupal multi-site with sub-directory.

# VHOST Config. server { # Define server name and directory root. server_name site1.com; root /var/www/html/drupal; index index.php; # Listen to port listen 80; location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string; } location ^~ /subdirectory { try_files $uri $uri/ @nested; location ~ '\.php$|^/update.php' { # NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini # include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf; fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(|/.*)$; include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_intercept_errors on; fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; } } location @nested { try_files $uri $uri/ /subdirectory/index.php?$query_string; } location @rewrite { rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1; } location ~ '\.php$|^/update.php' { # NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini # include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf; fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(|/.*)$; include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_intercept_errors on; fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; } location ~ ^/sites/.*/files/styles/ { try_files $uri @rewrite; } location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico)$ { expires max; log_not_found off; proxy_cache_bypass 1; } }

NOTE :

  1. Above configuration works for both "site1.com" and "site1.com/subdirectory" to server pages using Drupal 8.

  2. Only issue pending is, Drupal updates doesn't work for "site1.com/subdirectory" with above config (site1.com/subdirectory/update.php works but pages after it doesn't work). For it to work, I've to make following change in vhost

     # Change try_files in 'location @nested' as below : location @nested { try_files $uri $uri/ /subdirectory/update.php?$query_string; }

Any help is appreciated, to fix above issue and get everything working without need to change in location @nested.

Hope this helps someone in need to get the Drupal 8 multi-site as sub-directory up and running.
