I'm trying to install MyBB forum. I already have Mediawiki installed and running and I want to have MyBB on the same server but with a subdomain. I thought I did everything correctly but when I try to go to the url for installation (example.com/install) it just redirects to the main page of the Wiki. Does this mean there is an issue with the configuration of /etc/nginx/sites-available/mybb.conf? I filled that file with:
server {
server_name forum.example.com;
root /var/www/mybb;
location / {
index index.php;
}
# Deny access to internal files.
location ~ /(inc|uploads/avatars) {
deny all;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
For reference, I'm following this tutorial since I'm using Vultr to host: https://www.vultr.com/docs/how-to-install-mybb-on-ubuntu-16-04/ . I'm also very inexperienced with nginx and this subject in general.
I have implemented a php application in codeigniter and now want to deploy it to the nginx server. Before deploying I checked my nignx configuration on my localhost using MAMP server. It is working correctly. But, this configuration is not working on the live server. As a beginner in nginx, I am not understanding where is the mistake here. In live server, I can not write in the main nginx.conf file. I have a separate configuration file like "abc" for my application "abc". And all my application files are under "abc/xyz" directory. Here is my sample confuguration,
location /abc {
root /srv/www/htdocs/apps/;
index index.html index.htm index.php;
location /xyz {
try_files $uri $uri/ /abc/xyz/index.php;
}
location ~ \.php(\/(\w+))*$ {
try_files $uri =404;
rewrite (.+)\.php(\/(\w+))*$ $1.php break;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
}
Here, I can see my welcome page https://myapplication/abc/xyz. But if I want to navigate other pages like https://myapplication/abc/xyz/other_pages, it is showing "404 Page not found". I have checked the other solutions but none of them is not working in this case. Thanks in advance for the help!
The location /xyz block is nested within the location /abc block. The nested block is required to precess URIs with a prefix of /abc/xyz.
If there are other regular expression location blocks surrounding your location /abc block, you should use the^~` modifier.
For example:
location ^~ /abc {
...
location /abc/xyz {
...
}
...
}
See this document for more.
Sorry for the late answer. It was actually very silly mistake. My controller page name was in small character. This is why it was not working. My configuration is okay. The first letter of the controller page should be in capital character. For example, my controller name is Home. So my php file name must be Home.php not home.php.
since I have an Macbook, I use MAMP PRO to run several local servers. Now I want to change from Apache to nginx. But I allways get an 404.
What does a working standard nginx configuration for Symfony 3.x look like?
Thanks, Anton
The following configuration works:
Directory Index: app.php
try_files: $uri /index.php$is_args$args;
Custom:
$uri /index.php$is_args$args;
location ~ ^/app\.php(/|$) {
fastcgi_pass unix:/Applications/MAMP/Library/logs/fastcgi/nginxFastCGI_php7.1.8.sock;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*)$;
include /Applications/MAMP/conf/nginx/fastcgi_params;
# When you are using symlinks to link the document root to the
# current version of your application, you should pass the real
# application path instead of the path to the symlink to PHP
# FPM.
# Otherwise, PHP's OPcache may not properly detect changes to
# your PHP files (see https://github.com/zendtech/ZendOptimizerPlus/issues/126

fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $realpath_root;
# Prevents URIs that include the front controller. This will 404:

# Remove the internal directive to allow URIs like this
internal;
}
# return 404 for all other php files not matching the front controller
# this prevents access to other php files you don't want to be accessible.
I am trying to set a config for Nginx and am facing some issues.
In my sites-available there is default file which contains the below code:
server {
server_name www.test.com test.com;
access_log /sites/test/logs/access.log;
error_log /sites/test/logs/error.log;
root /sites/test;
location ~ / {
index index.php
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
Above code works perfectly when I write URL
www.test.com/service/public/
when I write
www.test.com/service/public/testservice (testservice is folder within public) it says No input file specified.
How can this be fixed?
I tried below, but no luck
http://nginxlibrary.com/resolving-no-input-file-specified-error/
http://blog.martinfjordvald.com/2011/01/no-input-file-specified-with-php-and-nginx/
You must add "include fastcgi.conf" in
location ~ \.$php{
#......
include fastcgi.conf;
}
Resolving "No input file specified" error
If you are using nginx with php-cgi and have followed the standard procedure to set it up, you might often get the “No input file specified” error. This error basically occurs when the php-cgi daemon cannot find a .php file to execute using the SCRIPT_FILENAME parameter that was supplied to it. I’ll discuss about the common causes of the error and it’s solutions.
Wrong path is sent to the php-cgi daemon
More often than not, a wrong path (SCRIPT_FILENAME) is sent to the fastCGI daemon. In many of the cases, this is due to a misconfiguration. Some of the setups I have seen are configured like this :
server {
listen [::]:80;
server_name example.com www.example.com;
access_log /var/www/logs/example.com.access.log;
location / {
root /var/www/example.com;
index index.html index.htm index.pl;
}
location /images {
autoindex on;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/example.com$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
Now, there are many things wrong with this configuration. An obvious and glaring issue is the root directive in the location / block. When the root is defined inside the location block, it is available/defined for that block only. Here, the location /images block will not match for any request because it does not have any $document _root defined and we will have to redundantly define root again for it. Obviously, the root directive should be moved out of the location / block and defined in the server block. This way, the location blocks will inherit the value defined in the parental server block. Of course, if you want to define a different $document_root for a location, you can put a root directive in a location block.
Another issue is that the value of the fastCGI parameter SCRIPT_FILENAME is hard-coded. If we change the value of the root directive and move our files somewhere else in the directory chain, php-cgi will return a “No input file specified” error because will not be able to find the file in the hard-coded location which didn’t change when the $document_root was changed. So, we should set SCRIPT_FILENAME as below :
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
We should keep in mind that the root directive should be in the server block or else, only the $fastcgi_script_name will get passed as the SCRIPT_FILENAME and we will get the “No input file specified” error.

Simply restarting my php-fpm solved the issue. As i understand it's mostly a php-fpm issue than nginx.
Same problem.
Cause : My root wasn't specified in open_basedir.
Fix : Adding my site root directory in :
/etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/mysite.conf<br>
by adding this directive :
php_value[open_basedir] = /my/root/site/dir:/other/directory/allowed
I solved it by replacing
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
$document_root with C:\MyWebSite\www\
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME C:\MyWebSite\www\$fastcgi_script_name;
I tried all the settings above but this fixed my problem.
You have to define nginx to check if the php file actually exists in that location. I found try_files $uri = 404; solving that problem.
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_index index.php;
}
This answers did not help me, my php adminer showed me "No input file specified" error anyway.
But I knew I changed php-version before.
So, I found the reason: it is not nginx, it is php.ini doc_root parameter!
I found
doc_root =
in php.ini and changed it to
;doc_root =
After this patch my adminer work good.
This is likely because with the trailing slash, NGinx tries to find the default index file which is probably index.html without configuration. Without the trailing slash it tries to match the file testservice which he can't find. Either this and/or you don't have any default index file in the testservice folder.
Try adding this line to your server configuration :
index index.php index.html index.htm; // Or in the correct priority order for you
Hope this helps!
Edit
My answer is not very clear, see this example to understand what I mean
listen 80;
server_name glo4000.mydomain.com www.glo4000.mydomain.com;
access_log /var/log/nginx/glo-4000.access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/glo-4000.error_log;
location / {
root /home/ul/glo-4000/;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/ul/glo-4000/$fastcgi_script_name;
}
}
I tried all the options mentioned above, but found finally the solution.
On my server the .php file was set to be readable by everyone, but it worked when I set the php-fpm to run under same user as nginx. I changed it in /etc/php/7.2/fpm/pool.d/www.conf and in the configuration file I set
user = nginx
group = nginx
and then reloaded the php-fpm process
Hope this helps

Okay,
I assume you using php7.2 (or higher) on Ubuntu 16 or higher
if none of this worked, you must know nginx-fastCGI uses different pid and .sock for different sites hosted on the same server.
To troubleshoot 'No input file specified' problem, you must tell the nginx yoursite.conf file which one of the sock file to use.
Uncomment the default fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php7.2-fpm.sock Make sure you have the following directives in place on the conf file,
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri /index.php =404;
#fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php7.2-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/php-nginx/158521651519246.sock/socket;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
have a look at the list of sock and pid files using ls -la /var/php-nginx/(if you have recently added the file, it should be the last one on the list)
3.copy the filename of the .sock file (usually a 15 digit number) and paste it to your location ~ \.php directive
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/php-nginx/{15digitNumber}.sock/socket;
and restart nginx.
Let me know if it worked.
I had the same Error and my Problem was, that I had my php-file in my encrypted home-directory. And I run my fpm with the www-data user and this user can't read the php-files even if the permissions on the file were right. The solutioin was that I run fpm with the user who owns the home-directory. This can be changed in folowing file:
/etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf
hope this will help you :)
My case: SELinux was enabled and denying php-fpm from executing my scripts.
Diagnosis: Temporarilly disable SELinux and see if the problem goes away.
$ sudo setenforce permissive
### see if PHP scripts work ###
$ sudo setenforce enforcing
Solution: Put the PHP directory in the httpd_sys_content_t context. You can use chcon or make the change persistent via semanage:
$ sudo semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_content_t "/srv/myapp(/.*)?"
$ sudo restorecon -R -F /srv/myapp
You can use the context httpd_sys_rw_content_t where write permissions are needed.
use in windows
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
wasn't putting -b
php-cgi.exe -b 127.0.0.1:9000
For localhost - I forgot to write in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
Also removed proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1; from other server in ngnix.conf
Alright I'm a noob but just to share what I encountered.
I set up Laravel Forge with Linode to run a static website from my github repo.
SSH into my Linode and verified that my html was updated however, upon visiting the public ip of my linode I saw the error msg 'No input file specified.
Went to Nginx configuration file in my forge and deleted the word 'public' so now its
root /home/forge/default;
restarted nginx server within forge and deployed again and now it can be accessed.
It is possible that PHP-FPM service is not started or is listening on some other port than 9000.
If someone is still having trouble with it ... I solved it by correcting it this way:
Inside the site conf file (example: /etc/nginx/conf.d/SITEEXAMPLE.conf) I have the following line:
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /usr/share/nginx/html$fastcgi_script_name;
The error occurs because my site is NOT in the "/usr/share/nginx/html" folder but in the folder: /var/www/html/SITE/
So, change that part, leaving the code as below. Note: For those who use the site standard in /var/www/html/YOUR_SITE/
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/html/YOUR_SITE/$fastcgi_script_name;
I'm having a lot of trouble setting up my nginx server with my PHP RESTful API. I have the following blocks in my server{} block:
location / {
rewrite ^/v1/* /v1/api.php last;
rewrite ^/* /index.php last;
}
location * .*\.php$ {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
}
However.. these seem not to be functioning properly. Basicly, I want every URL starting with /v1/ to be rewritten to /v1/api.php, and anything else to /index.php.
This seems to be working partially. Sometimes it actually does go to api.php, but sometimes it just seems to download the file instead of processing it through PHP-FPM. How would I fix this?
Downloading a file means not being passed to the php engine, so I assume the problem is in that block definition
replace
location * .*\.php$ {
with
location ~ \.php$ {
And probably it will work.
