I have enabled Wordpress Multisite with subdirectory on VPS nginx server. I also have roundcube & postfix running. The URL to access mail is webmail.mysite.com. The problem is webmail.mysite.com get directed to mysite.com, which is expected. I found out it is because of ordering of domains and subdomains. The wordpress guide https://codex.wordpress.org/Configuring_Wildcard_Subdomains_for_multi_site_under_Plesk_Control_Panel is written for apache server. How can I award subdomain first priority on nginx server.

    Please post your nginx conf files. – JayMcTee Jan 05 '16 at 09:40
  • @JayMcTee Added nginx.conf file – dhiraj Jan 06 '16 at 03:31
  • We need your config(s) which define(s) your virtualhost(s). Usually these are found in `sites-enabled/`. – gxx Jan 06 '16 at 16:41
  • @gf_ I found three files in sites-enabled/ . I have edited the question to include them. – dhiraj Jan 09 '16 at 07:45
  • One step forward, great. Two notes: Remove your `default` configuration if you don't need it (as it seems). There is a `include common/locations.conf;` directive inside your configs. We need this file as well. – gxx Jan 09 '16 at 08:28
  • @gf_ Appended locations.conf – dhiraj Jan 09 '16 at 13:00
  • Not sure if I got you right, but this is your problem: `webmail.mysite.com` redirects to `mysite.com`, right? 1.) Remove your `default` config. 2.) If you need the `*` in the `server_name` directive of `udcc.in`, you have to make sure, that `webmail` is accessed first. Have a look at the first point of the answer of amq. | If you don't need the `*`, you could specify all your wordpress subdomains in the `server_name` (not sure how many these are and how practical this is). – gxx Jan 09 '16 at 13:15
