title: how to change nginx site url
body: <p>My ngix site config file (/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/) is given below. Right now I can access this site by going to <code>localhost</code> but I would like to know how to change the site url to <code>localhost/gitlab</code>. I need <code>localhost</code> reserved for a different website.</p>
  
  <pre><code>upstream gitlab {
    server unix:/home/git/gitlab/tmp/sockets/gitlab.socket;
  }
  
  server {
  #  listen *:80 default_server;         # e.g., listen 192.168.1.1:80; In most cases *:80 is a good idea
    server_name localhost;     # e.g., server_name source.example.com;
    server_tokens off;     # don't show the version number, a security best practice
    root /home/git/gitlab/public;
  
    # individual nginx logs for this gitlab vhost
    access_log  /var/log/nginx/gitlab_access.log;
    error_log   /var/log/nginx/gitlab_error.log;
  
    location / {
      # serve static files from defined root folder;.
      # @gitlab is a named location for the upstream fallback, see below
      try_files $uri $uri/index.html $uri.html @gitlab;
    }
  
    # if a file, which is not found in the root folder is requested,
    # then the proxy pass the request to the upsteam (gitlab unicorn)
    location @gitlab {
      proxy_read_timeout 300; # https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/issues/694
      proxy_connect_timeout 300; # https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/issues/694
      proxy_redirect     off;
  
      proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
      proxy_set_header   Host              $http_host;
      proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP         $remote_addr;
  
      proxy_pass http://gitlab;
    }
  }
  </code></pre>
