"403 Forbidden nginx/1.14.0 (Ubuntu) " - php

Question

I have configured nginx with multiple locations, one for a laravel project and another for a native php project.
Laravel project is working perfectly, but the second location seems to give:
"403 Forbidden nginx/1.14.0 (Ubuntu) "
Here is my default file:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
root /var/www/html/washyapi/public;
try_files $uri $uri/ index.php$is_args$args;
index index.html index.htm index.php;
server_name 167.71.239.178;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ index.php$is_args$args;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
#index index.php;
}
location /admin {
root /var/www/html/;
#autoindex on;
#autoindex_exact_size off;
index index.php;
#try_files $uri /index.php?$query_string;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
#
# # With php-fpm (or other unix sockets):
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
# # With php-cgi (or other tcp sockets):
# fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
}
location /phpmyadmin {
root /usr/share/;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location ~ ^/phpmyadmin/(.+\.php)$ {
try_files $uri =404;
root /usr/share/;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
}
location ~* ^/phpmyadmin/(.+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|html|xml|txt))$ {
root /usr/share/;
}
}
}

after few days of struggling, here what i have done to make it work.
Here's the working configuration to have two apps working, where one application exists in a subdirectory of another.
default file :
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
root /var/www/top/public;
index index.html index.htm index.php;
server_name _;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}
location /nested {
alias /var/www/nested/public;
try_files $uri $uri/ #nested;
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
}
}
location #nested {
rewrite /nested/(.*)$ /nested/index.php?/$1 last;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
}
}
don't forget to restart the nginx server :
service nginx restart
