apache website to NGINX website - php

So recently my company started running websites on nginx instead of apache. Our application makes use of codeigniter.
So after uploading the source code a lot of url's werent working and i managed to get everything to work for codeigniter.
But we have a part of the website that doesnt work and also isnt codeigniter its a piece of code by itself /simplesaml/module.php/saml/sp/saml2-acs.php/surfconext-uvt. It used to create simplesaml requests and login.
The config file right now is:
server
{
listen X.X.X.X:443 ssl http2;
server_name X;
access_log /var/log/nginx/domains/X.log;
access_log /var/log/nginx/domains/X.nl.bytes bytes;
error_log /var/log/nginx/domains/X.nl.error.log;
root /home/u10024/domains/X.nl/private_html;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location ~* \.(ico|css|js|gif|jpe?g|png)(\?[0-9]+)?$ {
expires max;
log_not_found off;
}
location /simplesaml {
rewrite ^/simplesaml/(.*) /simplesamlphp/www/$1 break;
}
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
}
location ~ \.php$
{
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include /etc/nginx/nginx_limits.conf;
if (-f $request_filename)
{
fastcgi_pass unix:/usr/local/php71/sockets/u10024.sock;
}
}
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/u10024/domains/X.nl.cert.combined;
ssl_certificate_key /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/u10024/domains/X.nl.key;
include /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/u10024/nginx_php.conf;
include /etc/nginx/webapps.ssl.conf;
}
I know close to nothing about nginx and am struggling to understand what i need to do here... Some help would be highly appreciated.

Nginx - Redirecting all request including .php to single PHP script?

I've been Googling this for a while but can't seem to find a solution.
At the moment I have a config file setup on Nginx to send all requests regardless of file extension to a single index.php file. However, it ignores requests ending with .php and will throw a 404 if it's not there or, try to execute it if it is.
How can I configure Nginx to send .php requests to the index.php file too so I can use it to handle all file requests, not just non-PHP files?
My config file currently looks like the following:
server {
listen 80;
listen 443;
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /somecrt.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /somekey.key;
root /sites/;
index index.php;
server_name somesite.net;
access_log /sites/logs/access.log;
error_log /sites/logs/error.log;
location ~ /\. { deny all; }
location / {
# First attempt to serve request as file, then
# as directory then fall back to index.php
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
# Uncomment to enable naxsi on this location
# include /etc/nginx/naxsi.rules
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri /index.php?$args =404;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
# fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
After some more Googling "nginx: Map single static URL to a PHP file" helped me figure out the solution. So the new config is now:
server {
listen 80;
listen 443;
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /somecrt.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /somekey.key;
root /sites/;
index index.php;
server_name somesite.net;
access_log /sites/logs/access.log;
error_log /sites/logs/error.log;
location ~ /\. { deny all; }
location / {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/index.php;
}
}
With this config, all requests will be sent to the single index.php.
Of course, this will include static files such as image files which will probably impact Nginx server performance. In that case, you might want to add another location block before it if you want to exclude certain kind of requests.
For example, to exclude jpgs and gifs:
location ~ \.(jpg|gif) {
try_files $uri =404;
}

Nginx with angular and codeigniter applications in subfolders

I'm trying to make a website with codeigniter in the backend and angularjs in the frontend.
For the backend I'm using nginx as a server.
Currently I have problems with proper configuration of the nginx. What I want to achieve is to have codeigniter and angularjs applications in separate folders. And What I want is to access as follows
codeigniter from my_website.com/api
angular from my_website.com
And in terms of folder I want to keep them in:
codeigniter: /var/www/html/api
angular: /var/www/html/angular
So far I've manage to make it work from the same folder. So now I have codeigniter in /var/www/html and angular folder is in the same directory. And that way I can access codeigniter from my_website.com/ and angular from my_website.com/app which is not what I want.
I was trying multiple different setups for nginx /etc/nginx/sites-available/default file, but every single time with some problems. Farthest I've got was to have those in separate folders but codeigniter was working only for default_controller and I couldn't access any other files.
That's the current working config.
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
root /var/www/html;
server_name localhost;
index index.php index.htm index.html;
location /app/ {
root /var/www/html/angular;
try_files $uri/ $uri index.html =404;
}
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
#index index.html;
}
error_page 404 /404.html;
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/html$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
And here is simple config where I just try to run codeigniter from demo sub-folder,
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
root /var/www/html;
autoindex on;
index index.php;
location / {
#try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$request_uri;
location = /demo/index.php {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$request_uri;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/html/demo$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
location ~ \.php$ {
return 444;
}
}
And here my_website.com/demo/index.php works fine but my_website.com/demo/index.php/welcome shows 500 Internal Server Error
I hope I make myself clear.
I tried so many different configs found online, but I always had some troubles with that. Can any of you propose some simple solution for that problem?
Thanks,
Mateusz
I've finally managed to make it work the way I want. I've used this solution link to make it work with codeigniter in sub-directory which was the main problem. Here is my config:
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
root /var/www/html;
autoindex on;
index index.html;
location / {
root /var/www/html/angular;
try_files $uri/ $uri index.html =404;
}
location /api/ {
alias /var/www/html/api/;
try_files $uri $uri/ /api/index.php;
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
}
}
location ~ \.php$ {
return 444;
}
}
Thanks to #FrédéricHenri for suggesting using the log file under /var/log/nginx/*.log, that helped with tracking the way nginx is redirecting requests. Also what I've encounter was that web-browser was caching the website(I think that is what was happening) so that was giving me false results while I was making some changes to the config file.
If you have already set up ~ .php and other stuff. then Just need to add
location /ci-project {
try_files $uri $uri/ /ci-project/index.php;
}
In your server {} object of Nginx configuration

How to properly configure alias directive in nginx?

I have been trying to configure multiple webapp on my nginx webserver but I can't get working one Laravel app that requires $document_root set to laravel public folder.
I am currently trying to configure it using alias directive but for an obscure reason this doesn't work. Here is what I am trying to do.
# Default server configuration
#
server {
listen 80;
# SSL configuration
#
listen 443 ssl;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log warn;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/server.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/server.key;
set $root_path '/var/www/html';
root $root_path;
# Add index.php to the list if you are using PHP
index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html index.php;
server_name localhost;
location /paperwork {
alias /var/www/html/paperwork/frontend/public;
try_files $uri $uri/;
#location ~ \.php {
# fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(.*)$;
# fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
# include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
# #fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/html$fastcgi_script_name;
# #fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
#}
}
#location #paperwork {
# rewrite /paperwork/(.*)$ /paperwork/index.php/$1 last;
#}
location / {
}
location /wallabag {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
}
location /laverna {
try_files $uri/ /index.php;
}
# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
#
location ~ \.php$ {
# With php5-cgi alone:
#fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
# With php5-fpm:
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
#try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
# deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
# concurs with nginx's one
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
To test my "alias" config I put a 'test.php' files in /var/www/html/paperwork/frontend/public/test.php and tried to access it via https://IP/paperwork/test.php. I get a 404 error and nothing in nginx error log.
If I try https://IP/paperwork/frontend/public/test.php in browser it displays the test.php file without errors.
Nothing change if I uncomment try_files line in php location.
If I copy test.php to /var/www/html/paperwork/test2.php and access to https://IP/paperwork/test2.php the file is displayed without errors so I can see here that alias is not working as there is not a test2.php in paperwork public directory.
I can have a different behaviour if I uncomment php location inside paperwork location. With this, requests like https://IP/paperwork/test.php do not display a 404 but a blank screen.
I have been through a lot of forums / questions related to this but I couldn't get a working config for a simple task like displaying test.php...
Thanks !
I found the solution. It seems that a wrong request was sent for php files. When alias is used it is recommend to use $request_filename instead of $fastcgi_script_name.
Here is my location block :
location /paperwork {
alias /var/www/html/paperwork/frontend/public;
#try_files $uri $uri/;
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
#fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
}
}
This solved my problem for my 'test.php' file which is now executed while reaching https://IP/paperwork/test.php. So alias is working and php is well executed.
I still have a problem when trying to reach 'index.php' (which is my laravel app index). File is found but instead of executing it is downloaded. So when I reach https://IP/paperwork/index.php I get a login file downloaded which is index.php file. I get same behaviour if I try /paperwork/index.php/login or /paperwork/login.
try this:
location /api/ {
index index.php index.html index.htm;
alias /app/www/;
location ~* "\.php$" {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
}
}

laravel forge set up with angularjs

I have just got forge up and running and serving my site and it works great. The frontend of my site is pure angular.
I have abstracted all of the angular aspects out of the laravel app into its own directoy on my local machine and have mapped this directory to say code/app/angular on the forge vm
the laravel app is mapped to code/app/laravel
lets say I have named the site awesome.app in the Homestead.yaml file and I have mapped that in my hosts file. what I want / need is to be able to hit awesome.app and have the angular app returned and then for any calls made by the angular app to the laravel backend to be made through awesome.app/users/1 and for the laravel app to pick that up and return the correct response. Is this possible?
so basically awesome.app should return the static files and then the laravel app should be listening for requests on awesome.app/
edit: I can create two sites on the vm one for the laravel app and one for the angular and then set up angular so its default base url is the laravel site but this is not ideal as it would mean removing that setting from angular before pushing to production
edit1: I imagine that this is going to require setting up nginx to reply with the contents of the angular folder when the root domain (awesome.app) is requested and to send the rest of the requests (awesome.app/ or awesome.app/api/)to the laravel folder. I do not know how to configure nginx at all as I was using apache until switching to homestead today.
The ultimate goal being to keep the angular and laravel codebases seperate so that I can push just the angular app to s3 and just the laravel app to ec2 / elasticbeanstalk
edit2:
Thanks fideloper I finally got a chance to try out your suggestion and I think I got most of the way there. the angular app from /home/vagrant/code/awesome/angular/build is being served correctly but the requests to the /api route are returning no input file specified. I dug around and I dont think its a permissions issue as I can access the laravel app with a vanilla homestead setup so I imagine it is something wrong with the config
the laravel app is in /home/vagrant/code/awesome/laravel with the index.php being in /public as normal. as a result I changed your suggestion slightly by moving the root to the location blocks as the roots are different for / and /api. I also tried keeping the root in the server block and adding an alias in the /api/ location block instead but this also returned no input file specified
maybe you can see where I am going wrong?

listen 80;

}

}
edit3: if I remove that second location ~ .php$ location block (which I am guessing I should) I get an actual nginx 404 html page not just a 404 with no input file specified

You're right on your assumption on the Nginx configuration. I would do something like this on the nginx configuration (change names or file paths as needed for Homestead. I think it puts code in /home/vagrant/www instead of /var/www for example).
One Issue
I see you are differentiating at first with the url http://awesome.app vs http://awesome.app/ - however those are effectively the same URI. I would go with your second idea of http://awesome.app/ being static and http://awesome.app/api being your Laravel app.
You have two avenues of attack (well, 2 that I'll talk to, I'm sure there' more) for that:
Have Laravel serve the HTML for the home page (what you would otherwise have in an index.html page). Then create the /api route within Laravel. This lets you use a stock Nginx configuration. The story ends there, this is the easier way.
Configure the /api/ URL in Nginx to talk to PHP, while leaving any other URL to only serve static assets. A natural consequence of this is a bit more work in in your Nginx configuration.
Here's what that might look like:
server {
listen 80;
server_name awesome.app;
root /var/www/awesome.app/public;
# Not listing index.php file here on purpose
index index.html index.htm;
charset utf-8;
access_log /var/log/nginx/awesome.app.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/awesome.app-error.log error;
location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location = /robots.txt { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
# Make index.php in /api url unnecessary
location /api {
try_files $uri /api/index.php$is_args$args;
}
# Only parse PHP for /api/index.php
location ~ \/api\/index\.php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
# This specifically sets so the /api/ portion
# of the URL is not included
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/index.php
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
fastcgi_param ENV production;
}
}
As a result, only the /api URL will be parsed by PHP.
Now, in this setup, your laravel application might get called with the url /api/index.php, which should just work still when using a base route Route::get('/', ...);.
Personally I'd keep this simpler and not do this funky Nginx setup, since it could cause more issues than it's worth. However it all depends on your setup.

NginX with FastCGI and WordPress in a subdirectory - "No input file specified"

I'm trying to migrate a WordPress blog to a subdirectory of my website (i.e. example.com/blog/). Using NginX and FastCGI, I've managed to get the entire WordPress site working on port 8080, but as soon as I attempt to apply rules to place it in /blog, I get "No input file specified"
I think because I can get PHP and WordPress working, I can assume that there are no issues with my installation or the permissions of the relevant folders.
This is what my virtual host looks like (I am running a rails site at "/"):
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com localhost;
#charset koi8-r;
#access_log logs/host.access.log main;
location /blog/ {
root /home/deploy/www/blog.example.com/html;
index index.php;
try_files $uri $uri/ /blog/index.php;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
root /home/deploy/www/blog.example.com/html;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
location / {
root /home/deploy/www/example.com/public;
passenger_enabled on;
index index.html index.htm;
}
I have also tried this configuration for the same result:
location ~ ^/blog/.*(\.php)?$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(.*)$;
root /home/deploy/www/blog.example.com/html;
try_files $uri =404;
# fastcgi_split_path_info ^(/blog/.+\.php)(.*)$;
#fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
#NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
# fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
}
What am I doing wrong?
Are you using WordPress with Multisite?
I am not clear about your setup, but a tutorial from this list will surely help you: http://rtcamp.com/wordpress-nginx/tutorial
If you can share more details, I can guide you better.
From where does 8080 coming into picture? R u using Nginx with Apache??
"No input file specified" looks like an error related to incorrect location of PHP file...
Try changing
enter code herefastcgi_index index.php;
to
try_files index.php blog/index.php
Assuming 'blog' is a folder where you moved your WordPress.
