Laravel 4 nginx servername/myappname - nginx

Question

I try to make my production server to serve my applications in a same style as phpmyadmin is served. Like example.com/phpmyadmin and what I try to do is example.com/myappname.
My nginx/sites-available/default looks like this:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
root /var/www;
index index.html index.htm index.php;
server_name _;
location ~ \.php$ {
#fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
# With php5-fpm:
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
location /myapp {
root /var/www/myapp/public/;
index index.php;
}
location /phpmyadmin {
root /usr/share/;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location ~ ^/phpmyadmin/(.+\.php)$ {
try_files $uri =404;
root /usr/share/;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
}
location ~* ^/phpmyadmin/(.+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|html|xml|txt))$ {
root /usr/share/;
}
}
location /phpMyAdmin {
rewrite ^/* /phpmyadmin last;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
So if someone has a working conf for this, I would like to have it too!

Notice that your /phpmyadmin location has extra configuration to pass the request to PHP-FPM via the fast_cgi configurations.
You'll need to do that for your /myapp location as well.
You may want to change your myapp location to something like this:
location ^/myapp/(.+\.php)$ {
root /var/www/myapp/public/;
index index.php;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
}
For comparison, here is my Laravel nginx configuration - however I don't have my app running under a "sub-directory".
Try changing some configuration items to see what you can get to work. Note that I removed fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; from the Laravel app location - I dont believe it is necessary.
Lastly, would this make more sense on ServerFault? You may get better answers there.
