How to properly configure nginx for two hosts?

Question

Nginx

I'm trying to "start" https://github.com/hscstudio/angular1-yii2/blob/ma...
At the end of the readme it says:
Set up two hosts in your webserver. One should point to web-client, aother to web-service/web
That's the problem... I'm running everything on openserver, nginx 1.6. I put Nginx-1.6_vhost.conf in the project folder and wrote in it:

server {
    listen         %ip%:%httpport%;
    listen         %ip%:%httpsport% ssl;
    server_name    %host% %aliases%;
    # if ($request_method !~* ^(GET|HEAD|POST)$ ){return 403;}
    location ~ /\. {deny all;}


    location / {
                            root "%hostdir%/web-client";
                       }

    location /web {
        alias  %hostdir%/web-service/web;

        rewrite  ^(/web)/$ $1 permanent;
        try_files  $uri /web-service/web/index.php?$args;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        root                               "%hostdir%/web-service/web";
        try_files                          $uri =404;
        # if (!-e $document_root$document_uri){return 404;}

            fastcgi_param    TEMP              "%sprogdir%/userdata/temp";
        }
    }

}

I just can't get through to yii - I get not found all the time.
How to properly configure nginx here?

Answer 1

If you are using openserver and you need to set up two hosts, then there is no need to manually edit the nginx configs at all, especially in this way.
As far as I understand from the description in the readme, you need to create one host for the client application (frontend), and another host for the api (backend). In this case, both hosts must point to the same directory, but the second must point to the web subdirectory.
It's very simple.
In the openserver settings, open the "Domains" tab and configure two hosts manually:
