REST URLs and NGINX (config help needed)

Server NGINX
1

Hi,

Based on scraps found in the NGINX docs, I have a semi-working config
that looks as follows :

location /demo {
allow 10.0.0.0/8;
deny all;
try_files $uri @pdemo;
}
location @pdemo {
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /path/to/demo.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME /demo.php;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $args;
include fastcgi_params;
}

I say this config is “semi-working” because :

A base-call to http://example.com/demo returns the hello-world output
from my PHP router. No problems there.

But, if I call, say, http://example.com/demo/hello/x, the PHP router
doesn’t match the route (despite expecting hello/x as the path).

If it helps, I’m using bramus router and my configured paths are as
follows :

$router->get(‘/’, function() { echo “hello world”};
$router->get(‘hello/(\w+)’, function($name) {echo “hello”.$name};

However bramus returns a 404, and it doesn’t matter if I prefix the
hello path with a forwad slash in bramus.

Therefore I am guessing my nginx config is broken ?

Looks like the logic for getting base path is a bit interesting. Try
this for related line:

fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME /demo/;

Which looks like their “auto base-path” is setting moving goalposts !!

That doesn’t make sense if you actually use my configuration since
SCRIPT_NAME is static.

That didn’t work unfortunatley.

Just dug up their code and I see what you mean !

I put their “implode(’/’, array_slice(explode(’/’,
$_SERVER[‘SCRIPT_NAME’]), 0, -1)) . ‘/’;” into my PHP and

for /demo/ it prints “/demo/”
and
for /demo/hello/x it prints “/demo/hello”

Which looks like their “auto base-path” is setting moving goalposts !!

Any other alternative NGINX configs I could try ? I’ve tried reporting
their base path but they’re not particularly interested in fixing it!

I have also tried :

try_files $uri $uri/ /demo/demo.php;

But that only seems to work intermittently (which I guess is why NGINX
recommend the original method I posted !).

Looking again, you probably need to include fastcgi_params first.

Here’s the config I’m using:

12 location @pdemo {
13 include fastcgi_params;
14 fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /path/to/demo.php;
15 fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME /demo/;
16 fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
17 }

Doing some testing but that seems to have done the trick in the few
things I’ve tried so far.

Thanks !
