Can multi laravel based sites be accessed by folder not by port?

Question

Now, I have two projects(sites) based on Laravel + PHP + MySQL + Nginx, vistors can access them by typing：

  http://www.mysite.com:80
  http://www.mysite.com:8001

Can I change the accessing method to virtual folder not by port?

  http://www.mysite.com/project1
  http://www.mysite.com/project2

The nginx conf files are (at /etc/nginx/conf.d/):

• project1.conf

  server {
      listen *:80;
      server_name mysite.com www.mysite.com;
      server_tokens off;
      root /var/www/html/project1/public;
      client_max_body_size 100m;
      access_log  /var/log/nginx/project1_access.log;
      error_log   /var/log/nginx/project1_error.log;
      location / {
              index  index.php index.html;
  
          if (!-f $request_filename){
                  rewrite (.*) /index.php;
          }
  }
  
  location ~ \.php$ {
      include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
      fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;
      fastcgi_index index.php;
      fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
  }
  
  
  }
  

• project2.conf

  server {
      listen *:80;
      server_name www.mysite.com;
      server_tokens off;
      root /var/www/html/project2/public;
      client_max_body_size 100m;
      access_log  /var/log/nginx/project2_access.log;
      error_log   /var/log/nginx/project2_error.log;
  
  location / {
      index  index.php index.html;
  
      if (!-f $request_filename){
          rewrite (.*) /index.php;
      }
  }
  
  location ~ \.php$ {
      include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
      fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;
      fastcgi_index index.php;
      fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
  }
  
  
  }
  

Answer 1

The only decent way to do it is by folder and virtual host rather than port.

Answer 2

Sure - an example config will look like this:

1 Define your app servers

server {
 listen 8080;
 root /var/www/html/project1/public;
  ......
}

server {
 listen 8081;
 root /var/www/html/project2/public;
  ......
}

2 Define your proxy server

server {
 listen 80;
 server_name mysite.com www.mysite.com;
 .....
 location /project1 {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    .....
  }


  location /project2 {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:8081;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    ....
  }
}
