Nginx PHP-FPM alias path - php

Question

I'm really giving up on this. I have nginx+PHP-FPM, just trying to alias a path.
Desired:
https://example.com/api/v1.0/ -> /my/folder/v1.0/
I've tried alias:
server {
server_name mysite.com;
index index.php;
location /api/v1.0/ {
index index.php;
alias /my/folder/v1.0/;
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass php:9000;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
}
}
}
Nope. The logs reports that nginx is trying to access:
/etc/nginx/html/api/v1.0
So i changed the root:
server {
server_name mysite.com;
root /my/folder/v1.0/;
index index.php;
location /api/v1.0/ {
index index.php;
alias /my/folder/v1.0/;
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass php:9000;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
}
}
}
Nope. Now the alias is ignored and nginx trying to access:
/my/folder/v1.0/api/v1.0
I'm out of ideas, could you please help me?

Answer 1

Ok I was able to reproduce and fix it locally.
Here's what I ended up with:
# where the actual API is
root /1int/code/test/nginx;
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
try_files $uri = 404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
# This basically drops /api/1.0 prefix from the URL
location ^~ /api/1.0 {
rewrite ^/api/1.0/(.*)$ /$1 last;
}
With this config, when I access /api/1.0/api.php it fetches <root>/api.php
