I would like to run symfony app in subdirectory like example.com/api. What is wrong with my config? I recieve 404 without other errors
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name www.example.com example.com;
location /api {
alias /var/www/dev/symfony-server/public/;
try_files $uri index.php$is_args$args;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*)$;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $realpath_root;
internal;
}
}

Answer 1

You are missing your root directory for your nginx to look into.
Try something like the following:
server {
listen 127.0.0.1:80;
server_name dev.blog.local blog.local www.blog.local;
root /Volumes/git/blog/public;
location / {
# try to serve file directly, fallback to index.php
try_files $uri /index.php$is_args$args;
}
location ~ ^/(index)\.php(/|$) {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*)$;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $realpath_root;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
return 404;
}
}
