php - nginx load wordpress from a subdirectory -

i followed guide here install wordpress on ubuntu server. upon entering url http://mydomain.com loads me front page.

     server {     listen 80 default_server;      root /var/www/wordpress;     index index.php index.html index.htm;      location / {             try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;     }      location ~ \.php$ {             try_files $uri =404;             fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;             fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;             fastcgi_index index.php;             include fastcgi_params;     }      error_page 404 /404.html;     error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;     location = /50x.html {             root /usr/share/nginx/html;     }     } 

i want load wordpress subdomain i.e., http://mydomain.com/wordpress. went on modify location can't load (it still looks files under http://mydomain.com).

    root /var/www;     index index.php index.html index.htm;      location /wordpress {             try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;     } 

or

    location /{             try_files $uri $uri/ /wordpress/index.php?q=$uri&$args;     } 

how fix this? thanks

your wordpress looking files in root directory. / need tell him, search files in right directory. /wordpress/ there 2 ways. better: change path using wordpress config file rewriting resources path

from

/css/*, /*    etc 

to

/wordpress/css/*, /wordpress/*   , on.  

worst: redirect wordpress resources root directory. this:

  location ~ ^/images/(.*)$ {     try_files $uri /wordpress/images/$uri =404;     access_log off;    }
