User diretive is not allowed - nginx

Question

I'm creating a virtual host for the OsTicket configuration.
In the file vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/osticket.conf I'm inserting these lines:
user nginx;
worker_processes 1;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
sendfile on;
charset utf-8;
gzip on;
gzip_types text/plain application/xml text/javascript;
gzip_min_length 1000;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
# Rewrite all requests from HTTP to HTTPS
server {
listen 80;
server_name 192.168.0.24;
rewrite ^ http://192.168.0.24 permanent;
}
server {
listen 443;
server_name 192.168.0.24;
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/certs/cert.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/certs/cert.key;
keepalive_timeout 70;
root /var/www/osticket;
set $path_info "";
location ~ /include {
deny all;
return 403;
}
if ($request_uri ~ "^/api(/[^\?]+)") {
set $path_info $1;
}
location ~ ^/api/(?:tickets|tasks).*$ {
try_files $uri $uri/ /api/http.php?$query_string;
}
if ($request_uri ~ "^/scp/.*\.php(/[^\?]+)") {
set $path_info $1;
}
if ($request_uri ~ "^/.*\.php(/[^\?]+)") {
set $path_info $1;
}
location ~ ^/scp/ajax.php/.*$ {
try_files $uri $uri/ /scp/ajax.php?$query_string;
}
location ~ ^/ajax.php/.*$ {
try_files $uri $uri/ /ajax.php?$query_string;
}
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ index.php;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $path_info;
fastcgi_pass 192.168.0.24:8888;
}
}
}
And when I do service nginx restart I get the following error:
enter image description here
If you use the command nginx -t I get the following error:
enter image description here
In the nginx server logs I get the following error:
"user" directive is not allowed here in
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/osticket.conf:1
How can I solve the problem for the nginx service to work.

Answer 1

All configuration files inside the sites-enabled folder are by default included within the nginx.conf configuration, which already has the http block and most of the things you are setting.
You should have only your server blocks in the osticket.conf file. Remove everything else and you should end up with something like:
server {
listen 80;
server_name 192.168.0.24;
rewrite ^ http://192.168.0.24 permanent;
}
server {
listen 443;
server_name 192.168.0.24;
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/certs/cert.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/certs/cert.key;
keepalive_timeout 70;
root /var/www/osticket;
set $path_info "";
location ~ /include {
deny all;
return 403;
}
if ($request_uri ~ "^/api(/[^\?]+)") {
set $path_info $1;
}
location ~ ^/api/(?:tickets|tasks).*$ {
try_files $uri $uri/ /api/http.php?$query_string;
}
if ($request_uri ~ "^/scp/.*\.php(/[^\?]+)") {
set $path_info $1;
}
if ($request_uri ~ "^/.*\.php(/[^\?]+)") {
set $path_info $1;
}
location ~ ^/scp/ajax.php/.*$ {
try_files $uri $uri/ /scp/ajax.php?$query_string;
}
location ~ ^/ajax.php/.*$ {
try_files $uri $uri/ /ajax.php?$query_string;
}
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ index.php;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $path_info;
fastcgi_pass 192.168.0.24:8888;
}
}
