What is the process for creating an Nginx location block that serves a website on a subpath of a domain?

To create an Nginx location block that serves a website on a subpath of a domain, follow the steps below:

1. Edit the Nginx configuration file using a text editor:

   nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

2. Locate the server block for the domain you want to serve the website on a subpath of.

3. Create a new location block within the server block:

   /subpath/ { }

   Replace 'subpath' with the name of the subpath you want to use.

4. Inside the location block, add the root and index directives:

   location /subpath/ {
       root /var/www/html/subpath;
       index index.html index.htm;
   }
   

   Replace '/var/www/html/subpath' with the path to the root directory of the website.

5. Save the changes to the configuration file and test the configuration:

   nginx -t

6. If the configuration file syntax is correct, reload Nginx to apply the changes:

   systemctl reload nginx

7. Verify that the website is accessible at the subpath:

   ://example.com/subpath/
