Nginx setup for laravel project, which has routes with ".php" endings - php

Question

I'm trying to setup my Laravel project using Nginx. My /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf is:
server {
listen 80;
index index.php index.html;
root /var/www/public;
location / {
try_files $uri /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass app:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
}
}
I have a problem with routes with ".php" endings, e.g.
Route::get('modules.php', 'ModuleController#index');
Instead of going to index.php and looking there the route, the server tries to open file modules.php, which doesn't exist.
I know, that problem in nginx settings, but I don't have experience with it, so I can't fix it myself.

Answer 1

Look through this page https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-laravel-with-an-nginx-web-server-on-ubuntu-14-04
Here you can find suitable configuration and description.
For example:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
root /var/www/laravel/public;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
server_name server_domain_or_IP;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri /index.php =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass app:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}

Answer 2

Add a try_files statement to the second location block.
For example:
location / {
try_files $uri /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri /index.php?$args;
fastcgi_pass app:9000;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
