Creating Nginx virtual hosts

After installing the php5-fpm manager and creating the MySQL databases and user accounts, the last bit of configuration that is left is to create a virtual host with Nginx to serve our WordPress application. The Nginx web server that we installed earlier serves a simple HTML page and is not aware of the existence of the WordPress application or how to serve it. Let's start by adding these configurations.

Defining the PHP site information

In addition to the fifanews.com site that we are setting up, we may also launch a few more sites related to soccer in future. Hence, we need to have the ability to programmatically add multiple sites with the same Nginx server. Creating a dictionary to define site information and embedding it into a template sounds like a good choice for this. Since site information is specific to us, we will add the variable hash to the group_vars file, as follows:

#filename: group_vars/all
nginx:
  phpsites:
    fifanews:
      name: fifanews...
