I'm having trouble setting up two locations in my Nginx conf file.
I had no problem having two locations before adding one with an alias.
Location / with alias doesn't work.
Location /dev without alias works.
I would like to use two aliases because I have two folders : prod and dev.
Here is my current conf :
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name domain.com www.domain.com;
root /home/domain/public_html/www/;
index index.html index.htm index.php index2.php;
location / {
alias /home/domain/public_html/www/prod/;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
}
location /dev {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
}
location ~* \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
}
charset utf-8;
location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location = /robots.txt { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
What is happening is that accessing domain.com/dev/ works great but as soon as it's on the / location, I get a "no input file specified" error.
If I enter domain.com/license.txt, I can see Wordpress's license file.
If I try domain.com/index.php, I get the error.
I'm already using $request_filename to avoid root vs alias problems, any idea ?
You do not need to use alias in this scheme, but if you wish to run PHP with two separate roots, you will need to use a nested location block.
For example:
root /home/domain/public_html/www/prod;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
}
location ~* \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
}
location ^~ /dev {
root /home/domain/public_html/www;
try_files $uri $uri/ /dev/index.php?q=$uri&$args;
location ~* \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
}
}
The first two location blocks are your /prod/ configuration, with the correct root to resolve URIs like /index.php.
The last location and nested location blocks are your /dev/ configuration. The root is set to the correct value to resolve URIs like /dev/index.php.

lets say I've a path like:
/var/www/myside/
that path contains two folders... let's say
/static and /manage
I'd like to configure nginx to have an access to:
/static folder on / (eg. http://example.org/)
this folder has some .html files.
/manage folder on /manage (eg. http://example.org/manage) in this case this folder contains Slim's PHP framework code - that means the index.php file is in public subfolder (eg. /var/www/mysite/manage/public/index.php)
I've tried a lot of combinations such as
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.org;
error_log /usr/local/etc/nginx/logs/mysite/error.log;
access_log /usr/local/etc/nginx/logs/mysite/access.log;
root /var/www/mysite;
location /manage {
root $uri/manage/public;
try_files $uri /index.php$is_args$args;
}
location / {
root $uri/static/;
index index.html;
}
location ~ \.php {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
}
}
The / works correctly anyway manage doesn't. Am I doing something wrong? Does anybody know what should I change?

To access a path like /var/www/mysite/manage/public with a URI like /manage, you will need to use alias rather than root. See this document for details.
I am assuming that you need to run PHP from both roots, in which case you will need two location ~ \.php blocks, see example below. If you have no PHP within /var/www/mysite/static, you can delete the unused location block.
For example:
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.org;
error_log /usr/local/etc/nginx/logs/mysite/error.log;
access_log /usr/local/etc/nginx/logs/mysite/access.log;
root /var/www/mysite/static;
index index.html;
location / {
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
}
location ^~ /manage {
alias /var/www/mysite/manage/public;
index index.php;
if (!-e $request_filename) { rewrite ^ /manage/index.php last; }
location ~ \.php$ {
if (!-f $request_filename) { return 404; }
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
}
}
}
The ^~ modifier causes the prefix location to take precedence over regular expression locations at the same level. See this document for details.
The alias and try_files directives are not together due to this long standing bug.
Be aware of this caution in the use of the if directive.
I need to setup two projects under one domain(react+symfony), here is my nginx config:
server {
listen 80;
server_name domain.ltd;
rewrite_log on;
root /var/www/frontend;
access_log /var/log/nginx/project_access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/project_error.log;
location / {
index /index.html;
}
location /api/ {
alias /var/www/backend;
try_files $uri /index.php$is_args$args;
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*)$;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $realpath_root;
internal;
}
}
}
root / works fine so static index.html I'm getting okay without any issues. but symfony application for /api throws an error(403 Forbidden) in nginx error.log:
32349 open() "/var/www/frontend/index.php"
For some reason alias ignored, what i'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
The location and the alias values should both end with a / or neither end with a /. The last parameter of the try_files statement is a URI, so you need to include the /api/ prefix.
For example:
location /api/ {
alias /var/www/backend/;
try_files $uri /api/index.php$is_args$args;
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $realpath_root;
internal;
}
}
Also, add a try_files statement to the nested location block to avoid passing uncontrolled requests to PHP. The correct value for SCRIPT_FILENAME is $request_filename which works with either root or alias.
So here's my server block
server {
listen 80;
server_name domain.tld;
root /var/www/domain.tld/html;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location / {
}
location /phpmyadmin {
alias /var/www/phpmyadmin;
}
location /nginx_status {
stub_status on;
access_log off;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =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;
}
}
browsing http://domain.tld/index.php works fine the only problem im encountering is browsing http://domain.tld/phpmyadmin/. It returns 404 yet the folder /var/www/phpmyadmin exist on the server. Viewing /var/log/nginx/error.log, no error is being logged there yet the access to it is logged in /var/log/nginx/access.log. What could be the problem here?
The problem is that phpmyadmin is a PHP application and your location ~ \.php$ block does not point to the correct document root.
You need to construct two PHP locations with different document roots.
If phpmyadmin is located at /var/www/phpmyadmin, you do not need an alias directive, as a root directive will be more efficient. See this document.
server {
listen 80;
server_name domain.tld;
root /var/www/domain.tld/html;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location / {
}
location /nginx_status {
stub_status on;
access_log off;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
location ^~ /phpmyadmin {
root /var/www;
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
}
}
The location ^~ /phpmyadmin is a prefix location that takes precedence over the regex location normally used to process .php files. It contains a location ~ \.php$ block which inherits a value of /var/www for the document root.
It is advisable to include fastcgi_params before defining other fastcgi_param parameters otherwise your custom values may be silently overwritten.
See this document for more.
So here's my server block
server {
listen 80;
server_name domain.tld;
root /var/www/domain.tld/html;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location / {
}
location /phpmyadmin {
alias /var/www/phpmyadmin;
}
location /nginx_status {
stub_status on;
access_log off;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =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;
}
}
browsing http://domain.tld/index.php works fine the only problem im encountering is browsing http://domain.tld/phpmyadmin/. It returns 404 yet the folder /var/www/phpmyadmin exist on the server. Viewing /var/log/nginx/error.log, no error is being logged there yet the access to it is logged in /var/log/nginx/access.log. What could be the problem here?

access_log off;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
location ^~ /phpmyadmin {
root /var/www;
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;

}
}
The location ^~ /phpmyadmin is a prefix location that takes precedence over the regex location normally used to process .php files. It contains a location ~ \.php$ block which inherits a value of /var/www for the document root.

I am trying to use different directory from where to serve the files, but have been unsuccessful. /var/www/site.app/public is where the root, but I want to serve news from /var/www/news/api instead, while having URL http://site.app/news/123, from which I want to remove the news part, because otherwise it would map to /var/www/news/api/news/123.
Judging by the debug logs, it seems that it gets rewritten correctly when first testing all location blocks, but after it is done rewritting, it goes through all of them again, and ends up serving content with location block /.
Here is my configuration file I have.
server {
listen 80;
server_name site.app;
root /var/www/site.app/public;
rewrite_log on;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log debug;
index index.php index.html;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ index.php?$query_string;
}
location /news/ {
root /var/www/news/api;
rewrite ^/news/(.*) /api.php?_=$1;
index index.php index.html;
}
location ~ \.(hh|php)$ {
try_files $uri /index.php =404;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
The root directive in your /news/ location currently does nothing. You are rewriting the URI to /api.php which then hits your \.(hh|php)$ location, which inherits the root from the parent server container.
You need a distinct location for /api.php, possibly /news/api.php. In which case you can construct a separate location block (possibly nested within /news/) where you can place fastcgi_pass code using the different root.
So this is not ideal solution, but it works. By default it would still allow access to api.php, but I am denying access to it by checking if the URL contains /news/
server {
listen 80;
server_name site.app;
root /var/www/site.app/public;
index index.php index.html;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ index.php?$query_string;
}
location = /api.php {
if ($request_uri !~ ^/news/) {
return 444;
}
root /var/www/site.app/news/;
try_files $uri $uri/ /api.php?$query_string =408;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
location /news/ {
rewrite ^/news/(.*) /api.php?$1;
}
location ~ \.(hh|php)$ {
try_files $uri /index.php =407;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
