server{
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;

}
}
my codeigniter folder is 'ci' which is located in /var/www/html/ci
what configuration do I need to work url rewriting?...

Answer 1

I didn't want to change the current document root (/var/www/html)
since my 'ci' folder is located at /var/www/html/ci.
So instead, I created a new location block in /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf:
server{
...
location /ci {
try_files $uri $uri/ /ci/index.php?/$request_uri;
}
...
}
Thanks to Mert Öksüz for suggesting to use try_files $uri $uri/ /ci/index.php?/$request_uri;.
This one also work:
location /ci {
try_files $uri $uri/ /ci/index.php?$query_string;
}

Answer 2

Change your root to root /var/www/html/ci
Change your try_files to try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?/$request_uri;
Be sure your fpm path (unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;) is correct.

I faced same problem and modified a little bit nginx conf from this site https://gist.github.com/yidas/30a611449992b0fac173267951e5f17f
server {
listen 80;
# For https
# listen 443 ssl default_server;
# listen [::]:443 ssl default_server ipv6only=on;
# ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/default.crt;
# ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/default.key;
server_name sc.hr;
root /var/www/sc/hr/;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
# set expiration of assets to MAX for caching
#location ~* \.(ico|css|js|gif|jpe?g|png)(\?[0-9]+)?$ {
# expires max;
# log_not_found off;
#}
location / {
# Check if a file or directory index file exists, else route it to index.php.
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri /index.php =404;
fastcgi_pass php-upstream;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_buffers 16 16k;
fastcgi_buffer_size 32k;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
#fixes timeouts
fastcgi_read_timeout 600;
include fastcgi_params;
}
# Deny for accessing .htaccess files for Nginx
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
# Deny for accessing codes
location ~ ^/(application|system|tests)/ {
return 403;
}
}
This conf worked on my laradock nginx container.

Answer 4

This worked for me
location ~* \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
include fastcgi.conf;
}

Answer 5

In case someone looking for CI 4 nginx on ubuntu 18.04 configuration :
root /var/www/ci/public;
location / {
# First attempt to serve request as file, then
# as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
# this is not working for the first get argument :
# try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?/$request_uri;
# use this :
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}
