Nginx Config

[Stu]

Hi Guys,

 

can some people show me their nginx configs for blesta?

I had it working using the 'try_files $uri' way of doing things, but I reinatlled my server and forgot how I made it work before.

I am currently using a method i found on here elsewhere (thanks to that poster),

but I would like to get back to the 'try_files $uri' method as it was much cleaner and simpler.

 

Here is what i'm currently using...

     location / {
           error_page     404 = @blesta; #IF file doesn't exist
           log_not_found  off;
           }

      location ~ \.php$ {
            try_files $uri =404;
            fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
            fastcgi_connect_timeout 60;
            fastcgi_send_timeout 180;
            fastcgi_read_timeout 180;
            fastcgi_buffer_size 128k;
            fastcgi_buffers 4 256k; #
            fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 256k;
            fastcgi_temp_file_write_size 256k;
            fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
            fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
            fastcgi_index index.php;
            include fastcgi_params;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
            }

            # Disallow access to any file with .pdt extension
        location ~ (\.pdt) {
            return 403;
            }

        if (!-e $request_filename){
            rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php;
            }

        #Core rewrite
        location @blesta {
            rewrite ^(.*)$/index.php/(.*) /$1  permanent;
            }
}

 

I remember before I was using something a lot simpler, something like...

 location / {

               try_files $uri $uri/ 

               then the fastcgi_pass stuff

Messed with this for a while after posting the question.

I have come up with the following which seems to work....

 

     location / {
            try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
            }

      location ~ \.php$ {
            try_files $uri =404;
            fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
            fastcgi_connect_timeout 60;
            fastcgi_send_timeout 180;
            fastcgi_read_timeout 180;
            fastcgi_buffer_size 128k;
            fastcgi_buffers 4 256k; #
            fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 256k;
            fastcgi_temp_file_write_size 256k;
            fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
            fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
            fastcgi_index index.php;
            include fastcgi_params;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
            }


            # Deny all attempts to access hidden files
            # such as .htaccess, .htpasswd, .DS_Store (Mac).
        location ~ /\. {
            deny all;
            }
            
            # Disallow access to any file with .pdt extension
        location ~ (\.pdt) {
            return 403;
            }
}

 

If anyone wants to add to this please feel free to post.

This is what I have setup on my Arch box (minus all the fastcgi, security and optimization I have):

 

location / {
    root   /srv/http/blesta.netops.local/public;
    index  index.html index.htm index.php;
    
    autoindex off;
    rewrite ^(.*)$ https://$http_host$request_uri redirect;

    if (!-e $request_filename) {
        rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php;
    }

    if ($request_uri ~ "^(.*)/install.php$") {
        rewrite install.php /%1/install/ redirect;
    }
}

location ~ ^/(.*/)?\.git(/|$) {
    deny all;
}

location ~ \.(pdt)$ {
    deny all;
}

yeah I had similar before.

Give the try_files way a go. It should make a noticable difference in speed.

Using if statements and rewrites is slower because they are read and processed for each request.

This goes in your nginx config file. If you need further help, ask your technical staff or hire a server management company.
