Nginx configuration for Wordpress running along side Symfony - php

Question

I have two applications:
a wordpress site at /var/www/html/wordpress
a symfony application at /var/www/html/symfony.
The wordpress application is running as the main domain (domain.com).
I want to achieve the following behavior:
a user visits URL domain.com/example1
nginx redirects to the Symfony route /example1.
With my current config nginx already redirects to the Symfony app.
It loads the wordpress site and its admin dashboard correctly.
Issue:
nginx returns the Symfony home page (/) instead of /example1.
The URLs domain.com/example1 and domain.com/example2 loads the Symfony homepage instead of its corresponding route created in the Symfony app.
My nginx configuration:
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name domain.com;
server_tokens off;

You're potentially overriding the fastcgi_* parameters with the defaults in the file fastcgi_params after setting them.
Instead of:
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
# the following line loads defaults from file `fastcgi_params`
include fastcgi_params;
Move the include directive after fastcgi_pass and fastcgi_split_path_info but before setting SCRIPT_FILENAME like this:
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
include fastcgi_params;
# the following fastcgi_* parameters override the defaults in file `fastcgi_params`
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
