Nginx Site Configuration for Development Environment - php

I'm currently trying to setup a generic, multi-project development environment in Vagrant for students of a web-development mentoring project. The idea is the domain <project>.vagrant maps to ~/code/<project>
I thought I had enough experience with Nginx to solve this, but it turns out I don't.
Assuming that PHP-FPM is correctly setup, I need help with the try_files/routing for the site-configuration.
Whilst the homepage (/) works fine, any request to a non-static file (which should therefore be passed to PHP-FPM) results in either a 301 Moved Permanently to the homepage, or downloads the contents of the PHP script instead of executing it.
And yes I know listing so many index files is not ideal but the students will be dealing with multiple projects (phpMyAdmin, WordPress) and frameworks (Symfony, Silex, Laravel, etc).
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
The contents of the single site-available configuration file so far is:
map $host $projectname {
~^(?P<project>.+)\.vagrant$ $project;
}
upstream phpfpm {
server unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name *.vagrant;
server_tokens off;
root /home/vagrant/code/$projectname/web;
index app_dev.php app.php index.php index.html;
autoindex on;
client_max_body_size 5M;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ / =404;
}
# Pass all PHP files onto PHP's Fast Process Manager server.
location ~ [^/]\.php(/|\?|$) {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
if (!-f $document_root$fastcgi_script_name) {
return 404;
}
try_files $fastcgi_script_name =404;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
# Specify the determined server-name, not the literal "*.vagrant".
fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $projectname.vagrant;
fastcgi_pass phpfpm;
}
}

Laravel app with separate php-fpm and nginx servers

Is it possible to run a Laravel app on two separated server, one with NGINX, another with PHP-FPM?
I wanted to create an upstream of PHP-FPM servers for load balancing. I've tried some NGINX configurations but it seems that both NGINX and PHP-FPM needs Laravel app files.
Note: I have separate server for static files.
[user] -request-> [nginx without laravel files] -> [php-fpm upstream with laravel files]
UPDATE
upstream php_pool {
server 192.168.1.1:9000;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.example.com;
index index.php;
access_log /var/log/nginx/q_access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/q_error.log info;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/index.php /index.php;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
index index.php;
fastcgi_pass php_pool;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
I don't know what should i set for root directory cause there isn't any Laravel app files in that server. And how config \.php$ location properly?
We found solution for our scenario. PHP location should be like this:
location ~ \.php$ {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass php_pool;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/app/public$fastcgi_script_name;
}
With this change (SCRIPT_FILENAME) there isn't need for Laravel app files to be on the NGINX server cause all PHP requests will proxied to PHP-FPM servers.

How to route request url subfolder paths to specific php pages using nginx and php-fpm

I'm using a local nginx server for the first time to set up a website i'm building and i'm having trouble setting up the nginx config to handle url requests the way I want. My website serves multiple php pages as the user navigates through the website. When developing the site initially using a local php server, I used GET requests with window.location.href changes for site navigation. For example:
http://localhost:8000/shop.php?filter=all&sort=id_asc&page=3
However, since its going to be an ecommerce website for a small business, I wanted to handle the URLs in a cleaner and more professional manner.
My site structure looks something like this:
Website:
->index.php
->shop.php
->about.php
->product-page.php
->/css/
->/javascript/
->/php/
I want to configure nginx to route url paths in the following way
www.mywebsite.com -> routes to index.php
www.mywebsite.com/shop -> routes to shop.php
www.mywebsite.com/shop/anything -> routes to shop.php
www.mywebsite.com/about -> routes to about.php
www.mywebsite.com/product -> routes to product-page.php
www.mywebsite.com/product/anything -> routes to product-page.php
I've tried numerous suggestions over a couple of days before asking here but everything failed due to one reason or another, 404s, 500 internal errors, and redirect loops. I'm hoping to gain some inside here while I move onto other aspects of the site, so as to stop beating my head against the wall. Here is the state of my nginx conf at this moment:
server {
listen 80 ;
listen [::]:80 ;
server_name localhost;
root /var/www/html/reagansrockshop;
index index.php index.html;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
location = /shop {
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index shop.php;
try_files $uri /shop.php;
}
location /shop/ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
try_files $uri /shop.php;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
How could I go about solving this? And if there is a better standard in structuring a website and its URLS please let me know. This is my first website and first time using nginx - so i'm a little naive on best practices.
If you need a certain php script to be responsible for a whole path, you need a config like this:
root /var/www/html/reagansrockshop; # root directive is necessary to define where '/' is
location /shop/ { # this means "all URLs starting with '/shop/' "
index /shop.php; # be careful with path to the file here
}
Although I would rather recommend a more traditional and cleaner project structure.
In your project root create two directories: shop and product. Move shop.php and product-page.php into designated folder and rename both to index.php. Your nginx config for this structure will be like this:
server {
listen 80 ;
listen [::]:80 ;
server_name localhost;
root /var/www/html/reagansrockshop;
index index.php index.html;
location / {
index index.php;
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
location /shop/ {
try_files $uri $uri/ /shop/index.php?$args;
}
location /product/ {
try_files $uri $uri/ /product/index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}

Vagrant setup for nginx load balancing with a php site

I've looked up a few topics on here around this, but none of the solutions I've found so far seem to work.
I have 3 boxes created via a Vagrantfile with puppet modules, which have nginx and php installed. I've created a simple webpage to output the host name statically, plus php info.
On the load balancer I have the following code for /etc/nginx/sites-available/127.0.0.1 (note this is now the default site and linked setup through my Vagrantfile)
# vagrant/puppet/modules/nginx/files/loadBalancer/127.0.0.1
upstream backend {
server 192.168.205.20; #ip of second machine
server 192.168.205.30; #ip of third machine
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name _;
root /var/www/app;
index index.php;
location / {
try_files $uri /index.php;
proxy_pass http://backend;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
The two additional hosts which host this web app, have the following file for their /etc/nginx/sites-available/127.0.0.1
# vagrant/puppet/modules/nginx/files/127.0.0.1
server {
listen 80;
server_name _;
root /var/www/app;
index index.php;
location / {
try_files $uri /index.php;
proxy_pass http://backend;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
However, this results in only one page coming up (the load balancers, it never alternates to the other two like it should).
I have also tried passing in the backend upstream as the fastcgi_pass but this causes a 502 bad gateway. Is there something I am misunderstanding as far how this should function? Any help would really be appreciated!

Nginx with CakePHP in subfolder not serving static files (CSS, JS, IMG)

I am trying to setup a Nginx server configuration to serve a CakePHP installation from and to a subfolder.
URL: https://sub.domain.com/cakefolder
Folder on system: /var/www/domain/sub/cakefolder
So i am using a sub folder for both the URL as well as on the system. Now it took me a while to figure the following config out with which requests are properly handled by CakePHP. This means it's correctly bootstraping and handling controllers.
What doesn't work however, is serving static files from the webroot directory (e.g. *.css files) as those are all interpreted as CakePHP controllers leading to a CssController could not be found. error.
My site.conf:
server {
listen *:80;
listen *:443 ssl;
server_name sub.domain.com;
ssl_certificate ./ssl/domain.crt;
ssl_certificate_key ./ssl/domain.key;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
if ($ssl_protocol = "") {
rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent;
}
root /var/www/domain/sub/cakefolder/;
autoindex off;
index index.php;
location /cakefolder {
root /var/www/domain/sub/cakefolder/app/webroot/;
try_files $uri $uri/ /cakefolder/index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
How do I stop Nginx from routing existing static files through the FastCGI PHP interpreter?
Based on https://stackoverflow.com/a/22550332/671047 I already tried replacing my location /cakefolder { ... } with
location ~ /cakefolder/(.*) {
try_files /cakefolder/$1 /cakefolder/$1/ /cakefolder/index.php?$args;
}
but this leads to a redirection loop causing a HTTP 500 error.
Solution (thanks Pete!):
I found the following additional directive to be working for this specific setup. This might not be the most elegant solution but who cares, glad it's working for now.
location ~* /cakefolder/(.*)\.(css|js|ico|gif|png|jpg|jpeg)$ {
root /var/www/domain/sub/cakefolder/app/webroot/;
try_files /$1.$2 =404;
}
you could catch it early:
location ~* \.(css|js|ico)$ {
try_files $uri =404;
}
i have a similar setup and that worked for me when i experienced the same thing (just not cake.) I won't lie, i never understood why the try_files w/redirect always failed on existing static files, where as throwing a try_files like ^above finds the file np. ideas on that? (perhaps today is a source-reading day)

How do I configure Nginx to serve two locations with separate root directives when only one location is path-specific?

I am attempting to configure an Nginx server block in such a manner that it achieves two objectives:
To have a subdomain example.domain.com that serves an index page and pages from various paths such as /app1 and /app2; with all of these pages/paths sharing a common root of /srv/www/example.
To have the subdomain in the previous objective serve pages from a path such as /app3, but in this case having a root of /srv/www/example/app3/web.
I was able to achieve the first and second objectives, but never at the same time. Some resources I have made use of include:
Programming Junk: Nginx multiple sites in subdirectories
Martin Fjordvald: How to solve “No input file specified" with PHP and Nginx
CakePHP in a subdirectory using nginx (Rewrite rules?)
Here is my current configuration that is currently only serving the index, /app1, and /app2 correctly as a result of moving the root directive up out of the location / { directive.
server {
listen 80;
root /srv/www/example;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
server_name example.domain.com;
location /app3/ {
root /srv/www/example/app3/web;
try_files #app3 #app3;
}
location ~ /app3/.+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|svg|js|ico|)$ {
root /srv/www/example;
}
location #app3 {
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /srv/www/example/app3/web/index.php;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT /srv/www/example/app3/web;
}
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
}
}
What do I need to change to achieve both objectives in a single server block? If there is some way to get this working with multiple server blocks that both access the same subdomain and listen on the same port that would also be acceptable.
