Nginx Windows Laravel Routes not working - php

Question

I have installed nginx on my windows machine and i did a new installation of laravel. I created new routes but no other routes except the root work. I get a 404 error.
The error logs says
"CreateFile() "C:\nginx/html/myproj/public/register" failed (2: The
system cannot find the file specified), client: 127.0.0.1, server:
localhost, request: "GET /yacht/public/register HTTP/1.1", host:
"localhost""
Below is my nginx\conf\nginx.conf file.
#user nobody;
worker_processes 1;
#error_log logs/error.log;
#error_log logs/error.log notice;
#error_log logs/error.log info;

}

# ssl_ciphers HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;
# ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
# location / {

# index index.html index.htm;
# }
#}
}
Please suggest any ideas to solve this.

Answer 1

problem could be because of the slash and backslashes of
C:\nginx/html/myproj/public/register
I think it is better to use
php artisan serve
in local instead of using nginx .

Answer 2

In your nginx configuration, root should point to the Laravel public folder. i.e.
server {
listen 80 default_server;
root /var/www/laravel/public/;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}
# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on /var/run/php5-fpm.sock
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri /index.php =404;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
