Firts of all you should change DNS configuration. Do it in the beginning of process because some providers has some time to update configuration on theirs servers.
We'll create 2 vhosts:

test.example.com
test2.example.com

Go to your's DNS config panel and add 2 CNAME records with ec2 instance address ( same for both)

ec2-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX.compute-1.amazonaws.com

yum install nginx

see version (for future troubleshooting, if it ocuur)

nginx -v

Create 2 vhosts folder tructures.

cd /var/
mkdir www
cd www/

Folder for each vhost

mkdir test.example.com
mkdir test2.example.com
cd test.example.com/
mkdir logs
mkdir web
mcedit web/index.html

Create simple html page:

<html>
<body>test.example.com</body>
</html>

cd ..
cd test2.example.com/
mkdir logs
mkdir web
mcedit web/index.html

Content for vhost 2

<html>
<body>test2.example.com</body>
</html>

Change web root owner

chown -R nginx:nginx /var/www

Change nginx setting to allow 2 vhost's with www. alias for each of them

cd /etc/nginx/conf.d/
mcedit virtual.conf

Add this lines to virtual.conf:


index index.htm index.html index.php;


#
# test.example.com

#
server {
  listen 80;
  server_name www.example.com;
  rewrite ^ $scheme://test.example.com$request_uri? permanent;
}
server {
  listen 80;
  server_name test.example.com;
  access_log  /var/www/test.example.com/logs/access.log;
  error_log   /var/www/test.example.com/logs/error.log;
  root /var/www/test.example.com/web;
}

#
# test2.example.com
#

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name www.test2.example.com;
  rewrite ^ $scheme://test2.example.com$request_uri? permanent;
}
server {
  listen 80;
  server_name test2.example.com;
  access_log  /var/www/test2.example.com/logs/access.log;
  error_log   /var/www/test2.example.com/logs/error.log;
  root /var/www/test2.example.com/web;
}

Restart nginx:

service nginx restart

Open in browser http://test.example.com and test2.example.com . Each page has different content.
