I am trying to configure wildcard subdomains for my app but whenever I enter the subdomain I receive my root domain's index page. My app is configured through cloudflare and then I have an Nginx server that either serves the static files or pipes the request to a node app.
Within cloudflare I've added two rules in this order
http://*domain.com/*
-always use https
http://*.domain.com
-always use https
Then within nginx I have two server blocks
server
{
listen 80;
server_name www.domain.com domain.com;
//this will redirect user to use https
}
server
{
listen 443;
//this is my root domain's server that should handle all traffic for the root domain
}
then I have a block for the subdomains
server
{
listen 443;
server_name ~[^(www)|0-9A-Z]\.domain.com
//proxies the request to the node app
}
The strange thing is that I am seeing the request being handled by the correct routes within the node app but I am getting the wrong file (the root domain's index page).
I am a bit confused since at first I suspected it might have been cloudflare caching the index page and serving that for all subdomains but then if that were the case why I am able to see the requests reaching my server?
