How do I configure the webserver for multiple subdomains in Laravel

Step 1: Configure Nginx

1. Create a New Nginx Configuration File:

bash
   sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/mysite
   

2. Configure Nginx:

nginx
   server {
       listen 80;
       server_name mysite.com www.mysite.com;
       root /var/www/mysite/public;

       index index.php index.html index.htm;

       location / {
           try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?_share=++;
       }

       location ~ \.php$ {
           try_files $uri =404;
           fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
           fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
           include fastcgi_params;
       }
   }
   

3. Create a Link to the Configuration File:

bash
   sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/mysite /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
   

4. Restart Nginx:

bash
   sudo service nginx restart
   

Step 2: Configure Laravel

1. Update the `routes/web.php` File:

php
   Route::domain('mysite.com')->group(function () {
       // Routes for mysite.com
   });

   Route::domain('admin.mysite.com')->group(function () {
       // Routes for admin.mysite.com
   });

   Route::domain('api.mysite.com')->group(function () {
       // Routes for api.mysite.com
   });
   

2. Update the `RouteServiceProvider`:

php
   protected function mapWebRoutes()
   {
       Route::domain('mysite.com')->middleware('web')->namespace($this->namespace)->group(base_path('routes/web.php'));
   }

   protected function mapAdminRoutes()
   {
       Route::domain('admin.mysite.com')->middleware('web')->namespace($this->namespace)->group(base_path('routes/admin.php'));
   }

   protected function mapApiRoutes()
   {
       Route::domain('api.mysite.com')->middleware('api')->namespace($this->namespace)->group(base_path('routes/api.php'));
   }
   

Step 3: Configure DNS

1. Update the DNS Records:
- Create DNS records for each subdomain pointing to your server’s IP address.

Step 4: Test the Setup

1. Test the Setup:
- Visit each subdomain to ensure that the correct routes are being served.

By following these steps, you can set up multiple subdomains in Laravel using Nginx.
