I installed Cachethq to have a status page on a server (LAMP) by following this tutorial but I had to use another port (localhost:8080) because I have other services running.
On another server I use Nginx as a reverse proxy to redirect different server/services.
I succeeded to configure Nginx to access cachethq but all the layout does not appear, so I am looking into the fact that I need to redirect php requests to my install server.
I found here several articles and tested different config without success. In addition I would not want these redirects to impact those of my other servers / services.
I'm quite new to Nginx and Php so thanks a lot for your help.
My Nginx config:
location /redmine {
proxy_pass http://10.160.82.6/redmine;
}
location /MagicInfo {
proxy_pass http://10.160.82.16:7001;
}
location /status {
proxy_pass http://10.160.82.6:8080/index.php;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 10.160.82.6:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
I am trying to configure nginx to serve PHP from another server.
The files can be located within a directory under /sample on the other server
Fast CGI is running on port 9000 on the other server
Here is what I have tried, which is not working at the moment.
location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
proxy_pass http://192.168.x.xx;
proxy_redirect http://192.168.x.xx /sample;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
if (!-f $document_root$fastcgi_script_name)
{
return 404;
}
# Mitigate https://httpoxy.org/ vulnerabilities
fastcgi_param HTTP_PROXY "";
fastcgi_read_timeout 150;
fastcgi_buffers 4 256k;
fastcgi_buffer_size 128k;
fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 256k;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
I also need to configure nginx to serve static files from the same server
The following configuration does exactly what you need:
server {
listen 80;
index index.php index.html;
server_name localhost;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
root {STATIC-FILES-LOCATION};
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass {PHP-FPM-SERVER}:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
}
}
All you have to do is replace {STATIC-FILES-LOCATION} with the location of your static files on the Nginx server and {PHP-FPM-SERVER} with the IP of the PHP-FPM server.
This way you will serve all files without the PHP extension statically from the Nginx server and all the PHP files will be interpreted with the PHP-FPM server.
Here's a working example of a dockerised version of what you are trying to achieve - https://github.com/mikechernev/dockerised-php/. It serves the static files from Nginx and interprets the PHP files via the PHP-FPM container. In the accompanying blog post (http://geekyplatypus.com/dockerise-your-php-application-with-nginx-and-php7-fpm/) I go in lengths about the whole connection between Nginx and PHP-FPM.
EDIT: One important thing to keep in mind is that the paths in both the Nginx and PHP-FPM servers should match. So you will have to put your php files in the same directory on the PHP-FPM server as your static files on the Nginx one ({STATIC-FILES-LOCATION}).
An example would be to have /var/www/ on Nginx holding your static files and /var/www on PHP-FPM to hold your php files.
Hope this helps :)
You don't have to use proxy_ directives, because they work with HTTP protocol, but in this case FastCGI protocol is used. Also, as it was said in comments, no need for if statement, because Nginx server cannot determine if the file on a remote server exists.
You could try this configuration:
location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
# Mitigate https://httpoxy.org/ vulnerabilities
fastcgi_param HTTP_PROXY "";
fastcgi_read_timeout 150;
fastcgi_buffers 4 256k;
fastcgi_buffer_size 128k;
fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 256k;
fastcgi_pass 192.168.x.xx:9000; #not 127.0.0.1, because we must send request to remote PHP-FPM server
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /path/to/site/root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
You will need to replace /path/to/site/root with a real path on the PHP-FPM server. For example, if the request http://example.com/some/file.php must be handled by /var/www/some/file.php, then set it like this:
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www$fastcgi_script_name;
Also, to make PHP-FPM server be able to receive requests from outside, edit your FPM pool configuration (on Debian it usually located in /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf, on Centos - /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf):
Replace
listen = 127.0.0.1:9000
with:
listen = 9000
or:
listen = 192.168.x.xx:9000 # FPM server IP
Probably you will also need to edit allowed_clients directive:
listen.allowed_clients = 127.0.0.1,192.168.y.yy # Nginx server IP
I also need to configure nginx to serve static files from the same server
If I understand correctly, and you want to serve static files from the server, Nginx is working on, then you may just add another location to your Nginx configuration.
You should not use proxy_* directives. using Nginx as a proxy would be done only if a distant server has rendered the page (and you would request it with HTTP protocol).
Here the thing you want to proxy is a fastcgi server, not an HTTP server.
So the key is:
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
Where you currently say you want to reach a fastcgi server on IP 127.0.0.1 port 900, which seems quite wrong.
Use instead:
fastcgi_pass 192.168.x.xx:9000;
And remove proxy_* stuff.
Edit: also, as stated in comments by #Bart, you should not use an if testing that a local file in the document root, matching the php script name does exists. The php files are not on this server. So remove this file.
If you want to apply some security check, you would, later, alter your very generic location [^/]\.php(/|$) to something more specific, like location=/index\.php, or some others variations.
No need to give /sample path
location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
if (!-f $document_root$fastcgi_script_name) {
return 404;
}
# Mitigate https://httpoxy.org/ vulnerabilities
fastcgi_param HTTP_PROXY "";
fastcgi_pass IP:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
For static files from nginx server you need to use try_files for that.
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
// other CGI parameters
}
Make sure you're aware of common pitfalls.
If you want to access static files from another server you need to run a webserver there and just proxy pass from Nginx
So i have a statistics page for my own website and i wish to do the following;
User types: sub.mydomain/u/Username
End result: sub.mydomain/stats.php?player=Username
I want the end result to still show sub.domain/u/Username
However it seems that the php file gets downloaded, and this is a major issue as this contains my database information. I am using Centos 6 with Php fully installed along with php-fpm.
Here is my virtual.conf file:
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
}
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name stats.mydomain;
root /var/www/mydomain/public_html/stats/;
location / {
proxy_pass http://mydomain/stats/home.php;
}
location /u {
rewrite ^/u/(.*)$ /stats.php?player=$1 last;
}
}
I have read other peoples questions and the responses however this does not seem to have resolved my issue.
Thanks!
It looks like the location ~ php ... block is in a separate server block. This needs to be inside the server curly brackets to take effect on your stats.mydomain.
I have some troubles with nginx.
I created new project on Symfony3. Config.php says, that everything is good. dev_app.php - too.
But when I try to open site without any other route, like sitename.com nginx returns 403 error.
When I try to start symfnoy server (bin/console server:start) It's forbidden too.
sitename.com:8000 returns me fail to opening this page.
site-available config is
upstream phpfcgi {
server 127.0.0.1:8000;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
root /home/staging/www/web;
error_log /home/staging/logs/staging.error.log;
access_log /home/staging/logs/staging.access.log;
location / {
index app.php;
try_files $uri #rewriteapp;
}
location #rewriteapp {
rewrite ^(.*)$ /app.php/$1 last;
}
# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server from upstream phpfcgi
location ~ ^/(app|app_dev|config)\.php(/|$) {
fastcgi_pass phpfcgi;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*)$;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param HTTPS off;
}
}
I added new entity with crud, but any actions doesn't work.
I will be glad for any help. Thanks
Try to add
rewrite ^/app\.php/?(.*)$ /$1 permanent;
in the server section before any location sections (after the root /home/staging/www/web; line, for example).
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;
}
}
