How to set document root to load Laravel application using Nginx? - php

Question

My site keep showing phpinfo(); when I land on it
My root should be : /home/forge/aveniros/public
I'm not sure where to set it.
I decide to configure my settings in : ~/etc/nginx/sites-available/default
server {
listen 80 default_server;
server_name
default;
root / home / forge / aveniros / public;
index index.html index.htm index.php;
#
FORGE SSL(DO NOT REMOVE!)# ssl_certificate;#
ssl_certificate_key;
ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
index index.html index.htm index.php;
charset utf - 8;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri / /index.php?$query_string;
}
location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location = /robots.txt { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
access_log off;
error_log /
var / log / nginx /
default -error.log error;
error_page 404 / index.php;
location~\.php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^ (. + \.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix: /var/run / php5 - fpm.sock; fastcgi_index index.php; include fastcgi_params;
}
location~/\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
Then, I run sudo service nginx restart after I saved.
Nothing seem to take effect.
Can someone please tell me what did I do wrong here ?

Answer 1

You need to set your server name to _, currently you are only listening to requests to the name default.
server_name _;

Answer 2

Use this virtual host
server {
listen 80;
server_name project.dev;
root /var/www/directory/project/public;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
location / {
index index.php;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php/?(.*)$ {
fastcgi_connect_timeout 3s; # default of 60s is just too long
fastcgi_read_timeout 10s; # default of 60s is just too long
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
location /phpmyadmin {
root /usr/share/;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location ~ ^/phpmyadmin/(.+\.php)$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
}
