I have several websites on my linode LEMP stack (using nginx instead of apache). Each site lives in a separate folder /srv/www/sitename.com, where sitename is the name of the respective site.

I'm trying to migrate one site from it's previous host but I dont want to change the DNS records until the site is setup. However, I can't figure out how to access the site without it's domain name. I've tried IP-address/sitename.com but that just redirects me to my default_server.

Each domain has a configuration file in /etc/nginx/sites-available that looks something like this (below). What should I add to the configuration so that I can access the site with the ip address instead the sitename?:

server {

listen 80;

server_name www.sitename.com sitename.com;

access_log /srv/www/sitename.com/logs/access.log;

error_log /srv/www/sitename.com/logs/error.log;

root /srv/www/sitename.com/public_html;

index index.php;

rewrite ^/sitemap_index.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=1 last;

rewrite ^/([^/]+?)-sitemap([0-9]+)?.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=$1&sitemap_n=$2 last;

location ~ .php$ {

include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;

fastcgiintercepterrors on;

fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;

fastcgi_pass php;

fastcgi_index index.php;

fastcgiparam SCRIPTFILENAME /srv/www/sitename.com/public_html

}

location = /favicon.ico {

lognotfound off;

access_log off;

}

location = /robots.txt {

allow all;

lognotfound off;

access_log off;

}

location / {

try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;

}

location ~* .(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico)$ {

expires max;

lognotfound off;

}

}

Any help is appreciated! Thanks.
