Nginx Magento multistore configuration

[J_12]

There is a website that has multiple subcatogories which are stores in
magento:

www.website.com/sub1 www.website.com/sub2 www.website.com/sub3

The server used is ngnix. everything is set up. And used to work, the nginx
conf file for this site need to be reconstructed.

at the moment when for example www.website.com/sub1 is requested this wil
set the store to store to sub1. which works fine. However when a product is
asked i.e. www.website.com/sub1/product this returned a "page not found"
error.

If the store is set to sub1 the url www.website.com/product DOES FIND the
product without any issues. on the other hand f the store was not set
previously, www.website.com/product DID NOT FIND the product.

it seemed that once a store is set the following happens e.g.
www.website.com/sub1/product :

sub1->sub1->product == error (because of sub1->sub1)

this should be:

sub1->product.

note that setting the store when www.website.com/sub1/product is requested
and then redirecting the site to www.website.com/product is not an option.
everything used to work fine! The store setup had not been changed. only the
the nginx conf file should be adjusted. any sugestions?

to be more specific: in the root folder there is an index.php file were
magento is set to run the website via mage run code. In the root folder
there are subfolders one for each store. these folders each contain an
index.php file were the store is set. any more info needed?

Any help would be appreciated.

additional info: in the root folder there is an index.php file were magento
is set to run the website via mage run code. In the root folder there are
subfolders: one for each store. These folders each contain an index.php file
were the store is set( again via mage run code) (the stores are being set
correctly in these files).

the nginx conf looked like this:




server {

listen 80 default;
server_name website.com;
root /www_folder;
client_max_body_size 10M;

location / {
index index.php;
try_files $uri $uri/ @handler;
expires 30d;
}


location /mage/ {
try_files $uri $uri/ @magehandler;
expires 30d;
}

location @handler {
## Remove trailing slash
rewrite ^/(.*)/$ /$1 permanent;
## Magento uses a common front handler
rewrite / /index.php;
}

location @magehandler {
## Adds a trailing slash to any urls that is missing a trailing slash
rewrite ^(.*[^/])$ $1/ permanent;
## Magento uses a common front handler
rewrite /mage/ /mage/index.php;
}


## These locations would be hidden by .htaccess normally, protected
location ~
(/mage/(app/|includes/|lib/|pkginfo/|var/|errors/local.xml|shell/|tmp/|cron.+)|/\.git/|/\.ht.+)
{deny all;}

location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico)$ {
expires max;
log_not_found off;
}

location /. { ## Disable .htaccess and other hidden files
return 404;
}

location ~ .php/ {
rewrite ^(.*.php)/ $1 last;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
add_header X-UA-Compatible 'IE=Edge,chrome=1';
try_files $uri =404;
expires off;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
#fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SERVER_PORT 80;
fastcgi_param HTTPS $fastcgi_https;
}
}
