Apache and ultimate config for nginx to serve all virtual hosts in the right way

I've just set up nginx to serve static request on one site, but I have lots of sites on my server and I wonder, should I right new nginx server configuration for all of them? What I'm doing now. I have file with all virtual hosts entries for Apache with some-thing like this:

NameVirtualHost *:8080
<VirtualHost *:8080>
 ServerName sky2high.net
 DocumentRoot /home/mainsiter/data/www/sky2high.net
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:8080>
 ServerName surdo.asmon.ru
 DocumentRoot /home/surdo/data/www/surdo.asmon.ru
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:8080>
 ServerName surdoserver.ru
 DocumentRoot /home/surdo/data/www/surdoserver.ru
</VirtualHost>

I have this in apache's ports.conf:

Listen 8080

And so I've set up nginx to work with one site (sky2high.net), created next configure file (/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/sky2high.net):

server {
 listen 80;
 server_name sky2high.net www.sky2high.net;
  proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
   proxy_set_header Host $host;

 access_log /var/log/nginx.access_log;

 location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|css|zip|tgz|gz|rar|bz2|doc|xls|exe|pdf|ppt|tar|wav|bmp|rtf|swf|ico|flv|txt|xml|docx|xlsx)$ {
  root /home/mainsiter/data/www/sky2high.net/;
  index index.php;
  access_log off;
  expires 30d;
 }
 location ~ /\.ht {
  deny all;
 }
 location / {
  proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/;
  proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-for $remote_addr;
  proxy_set_header Host $host;
  proxy_connect_timeout 60;
  proxy_send_timeout 90;
  proxy_read_timeout 90;
  proxy_redirect off;
  proxy_set_header Connection close;
  proxy_pass_header Content-Type;
  proxy_pass_header Content-Disposition;
  proxy_pass_header Content-Length;
 }
} 

And it works fine for this domain, but of course another virtual hosts are broken.

So, the question is: is there ultimate config option for nginx, witch can help to handle all request, from all virtual hosts (domains) and serve them in the right way? I mean, option that allows not to write separete config开发者_运维百科ure files for each virtual hosts (with all this doubled stuff like root and index options), but only one for all virtual hosts?

PS: should I move question to serverfault?

UPDATE: Emm.. I wonder how is it works, but it is. I've made next config files:

/etc/nginx/nginx.conf

user www-data;
worker_processes  2;

error_log  /var/log/nginx/error.log;
pid        /var/run/nginx.pid;

events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}

http {
    include       /etc/nginx/mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;

    access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.log;

    sendfile        on;
    #tcp_nopush     on;

    #keepalive_timeout  0;
    keepalive_timeout  65;
    tcp_nodelay        on;

    gzip             on;   
    gzip_min_length  1000;
    gzip_proxied     any;
    gzip_disable     "msie6";

    include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
    include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
}

and

/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

server {
    listen 80;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/;
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Connection close;
        proxy_pass_header Content-Type;
        proxy_pass_header Content-Disposition;
        proxy_pass_header Content-Length;
    }
}

I do not understand how is it works, but it is...

UPDATE 2: or it doesn't work! I've looked to "top" in console and metioned that apache serves not only php request, but for static content either =(

What you do now is sending all the network traffic to 127.0.0.1:8080 without allowing Nginx to serve the static files.

What you should try is the following:

server {
listen 80;
server_name sky2high.net www.sky2high.net;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/proxy.conf;
}
location ~* ^.+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|tgz|gz|pdf|rar|bz2|exe|ppt|txt|tar|mid|midi|wav|bmp|rtf) {
root /folder/to/static/files;
expires 90d;
}
location ~* ^.+\.(css|js)$ {
root /folder/to/static/files;
expires 30d;
}

And in proxy.conf you put the following:

proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
client_max_body_size 8m;
client_body_buffer_size 256k;
proxy_connect_timeout 60;
proxy_send_timeout 60;
proxy_read_timeout 60;
proxy_buffer_size 4k;
proxy_buffers 32 256k;
proxy_busy_buffers_size 512k;
proxy_temp_file_write_size 256k;

This should work for you

Just my two cents, in most cases it's not necessary to specify the listen 80.
