nginx/php-fpm with location exception - 404 - php

Question

I have configured http->https redirection + non-www->www redirection.
I want to exclude two paths, so that they won't be redirected to https.
I have tried many possible configuration, I either get a 404 or I get redirected to the https version.
Here's the current config, which returns a 404, when trying to get a /loc2/ path (#curl http://www.server.dev/loc2/18a9BM4Lay):
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name server.dev;
location / {
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
location /loc1/ {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location /loc2/ {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
}
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name www.server.dev;
root /var/www/web/server/public;
location / {
# return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
location ^~ /loc1/ {
# root /var/www/web/server/public;
index index.php;
# try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
include pool_web.conf;
}
location ^~ /loc2/ {
# root /var/www/web/server/public;
index index.php;
# try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
location ~ \.php$ {
# regex to split $uri to $fastcgi_script_name and $fastcgi_path
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
# Check that the PHP script exists before passing it
try_files $fastcgi_script_name =404;
# Bypass the fact that try_files resets $fastcgi_path_info
# see: http://trac.nginx.org/nginx/ticket/321
set $path_info $fastcgi_path_info;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $path_info;
include fastcgi.conf;
fastcgi_read_timeout 360s;
fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/server-php7.0-fpm.sock;
}
# include pool_web.conf;
}
}
server {
# listen 80;
# listen [::]:80;
listen 443 ssl http2;
ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/server.crt;

Answer 1

You need to add a try_files statement to define a default handler. The index directive only works if a directory is specified.
For example:
location ^~ /loc2/ {
try_files $uri $uri/ /loc2/index.php;
...
}
See this document for details.
