NGNIX server settings for laravel 5.2 - php

Question

I have developed a website in laravel and I want to install it on a local machine running nginx as a web server. Here is my config file
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
root html;
index index.html index.php;
# Make site accessible from http://localhost/
server_name localhost;
location / {
root html;
index index.php;
}
location ~ .php$ {
root html;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME C:/nginx/html/$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
When I browse http://localhost/mysite/ it runs C:/nginx/html/mysite/index.php
I want to execute C:/nginx/html/mysite/public/index.php file instead. How i can do that?

Answer 1

From your Nginx file I will assume your root directory for your project is html and all your Laravel files are in this directory.
If this is the case then you can either just go to http://localhost/mysite/public or alter your root directory in your Nginx configuration to html/public.
If that doesn't work, set root to the full path on your local machine to reach the public folder of your Laravel project.
Edit
Try:
root /c/nginx/html/mysite/public
OR
root C:/nginx/html/mysite/public

Below is my configuration:
server {
server_name laravel.mydomain;
root /home/me/domain/laravel.mydomain/public/;
location / {
try_files $uri /index.php$is_args$args;
}
location ~ ^/index\.php(/|$) {
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*|$);
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
internal;
}
}
Just change root to where your public folder is.
try_files makes sure that everything is served by index.php which is in the root path when the file doesn't directly exist on the file system.

You have to change only one line: Looks the final code in below
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
root C:/nginx/html/mysite/public;
index index.html index.php;
# Make site accessible from http://localhost/
server_name localhost;
location / {
root html;
index index.php;
}
location ~ .php$ {
root html;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME C:/nginx/html/$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
Please look the code carefully. I have changed ony
root html to root C:/nginx/html/mysite/public;
