Nginx + php-fpm without .php extension
This has happened several times on SO, but none of the solutions worked. This is what I currently have:
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ $uri.php;
}
location @php {
default_type application/x-httpd-php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $args;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
#fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $args;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
This example contains two options. First, the first stanza is written to enter the URL / foo.php and URL / foo through the final stanza. If I replace $uri.php
in the try_files
first stanza with @php
, then it should use the location @php
for the URL / foo.
For the location, @php
I tried to set SCRIPT_FILENAME
to:
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME "/usr/share/nginx/html$uri.php";
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME "$request_filename.php";
None of them worked.
When debugging, this line add_header
never produced anything for URL / foo. Content-Type is always set to application / octet-stream and oddly enough it always manages to send the content of the php file (it gets loaded).
I'm obviously doing something wrong, but I can't see what.
Sigh. I knew that if I asked about it, I would understand. OK, here goes, this was the solution:
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ @php;
}
location @php {
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME "$document_root$uri.php";
fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED "$document_root$uri.php";
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $args;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
#fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
The key thing I was missing here is the string fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED "$document_root$uri.php";
. In the question, I described a scenario where all php requests went through the last stanza, which would eliminate the need for a middle stanza. It didn't work, location required @php
.
Also, please note that I switched to $document_root
. A number of questions that have discussed this have used the document root for the document root instead of a variable. This may not have been the case in older versions of nginx (I'm using 1.4.6), but this is the best way.
