Nginx config for symfony on ubuntu - php

Question

I want to setup symfony with nginx and this config is working fine
server {
listen 80;
root /src/web;
location / {
# try to serve file directly, fallback to app.php
try_files $uri /app.php$is_args$args;
}
location ~ ^/app\.php(/|$) {
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*)$;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
# Prevents URIs that include the front controller. This will 404:
# http://domain.tld/app.php/some-path
# Remove the internal directive to allow URIs like this
internal;
}
error_log /var/log/nginx/symfony_error.log;
access_log /var/log/nginx/symfony_access.log;
}
However i also want that on my server i should also be able to access files via app_dev.php and app_test.php as well
so far with above config. http://127.0.0.1/api/check is working fine
but i also want
http://127.0.0.1/app_dev.php/api/check and http://127.0.0.1/app_test.php/api/check to work as well.
Currently its gives me 404 error

Answer 1

Assuming your using this for development you can list each file (Environment) in a capturing group () and separate with | which basically means "or".
location ~ ^/(app|app_dev|app_test)\.php(/|$) {
....
}
It is important not to use this example on a production server, as it is completely unsecure.
On a production server your current conf, is correct to only allow app.php.

Answer 2

For more information you can use description from symfony and nginx official docs.
As you can see you should add some lines into your nginx conf file:
location ~ ^/(app_dev|config)\.php(/|$) {
...
}
In case you also need app_test.php, then it should be changed a little bit. Just by including the file name:
location ~ ^/(app_dev|app_test)\.php(/|$) {
...
}
But please have a note:
In production, don't include this and don't deploy app_dev.php or app_test.php
Also it would be better to have following configuration before error_log ...:
location ~ \.php$ {
return 404;
}
