XF 1.4 Friendly URLs

[SoManyPosts]

I'm trying to get the friendly URLs working on my website but the pages keep going to 404.

Here's the config if anyone wouldn't mind helping. Don't I just paste this at the end of my nginx file?

server {
    listen   [::]:80;
    server_name  www.domain.com domain.com;
    root   /usr/share/nginx/html;
    index  index.html index.htm index.php;
    access_log  /usr/share/nginx/html/domain.com.access.log; 

    location / {
        try_files            $uri $uri/ /index.php?$uri&$args;
    }
   
    location /data/ {
        allow                127.0.0.1;
        deny                all;
    }
   
    location /internal_data/ {
        allow                127.0.0.1;
        deny                all;
    }
   
    location /library/ {
        allow                127.0.0.1;
        deny                all;
    }
    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_index            index.php;
        fastcgi_pass            127.0.0.1:9000;
        include                fastcgi.conf;
        fastcgi_intercept_errors    on;
        fastcgi_ignore_client_abort    on;
    }

}

Let me guess... nginx and you are using cut/paste to configure it?

What OS are you using?

Yes I figured it was sufficient, many guides say variations of this, but apparently it's not accurate. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04.

Shouldn't domain.com be your actual domain? Or its just replaced to hide your domain info?
Also it seems you're missing the root to your forum root.

The forum root is actually just the index. I hid it because the website is not finished and isn't ready to be released.

That is not what I meant,

    location ~ \.php$ {
        root /var/www/html/domain.com
        fastcgi_index            index.php;
        fastcgi_pass            127.0.0.1:9000;
        include                fastcgi.conf;
        fastcgi_intercept_errors    on;
        fastcgi_ignore_client_abort    on;
    }
}

That should be the location where your files are located, like /var/www/html/domain.com/public/ If you're comfortable in giving me access I can fix it for you.

But, on nginx the files are not located there, right? That sounds like Apache to me.

 

[TickTackk]

It was an example.

It's like this:

So your config should be:

server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  www.domain.com;

    charset utf-8;
    access_log  /usr/share/nginx/html/domain.com.access.log;

    location / {
        root           /usr/share/nginx/html/;
        index index.php;
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$uri&$args;
    }
  
    location /internal_data/
    {
        root           /usr/share/nginx/html/;
        internal;
        allow 127.0.0.1;
        deny all;
    }

    location /library/
    {
        root           /usr/share/nginx/html/;
        internal;
        allow 127.0.0.1;
        deny all;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        root           /usr/share/nginx/html/;
        try_files $uri =404;
        fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
        fastcgi_index  index.php;
        fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include        fastcgi_params;
    }

    location ~ /\.ht {
        deny  all;
    }
}

Why haven't you created vhost yet? if its for a live site then do so.

 

[SoManyPosts]

Hmm @batpool52! it's still not working; I'm getting the 404s. Maybe there is some module I need to install.

 

[TickTackk]

Have you restarted the nginx after making changes? and read what said in below...

Yes I did restart it. I haven't since I do not need more than one website hosted on this server.

Is there a particular reason you went with Ubuntu?

Not really – I have heard good things about it so I thought it would be a good platform. I have used it for other websites too.

 

[TPerry]

Easiest setup for nginx is a centOS/CentMin Mod setup. Works really well and easy to deal with.

 

[SoManyPosts]

Yeah I should have done that @Tracy Perry but I even tried the default setup and I still can't get it working. If my install is in the web root, shouldn't this work?

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

location /internal_data/ {
    internal;
}
location /library/ {
       internal;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
    try_files $uri =404;
    fastcgi_pass    127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    include         fastcgi_params;
}

    location / {
## Deny certain User-Agents (case insensitive)
     ## The ~* makes it case insensitive as opposed to just a ~
     if ($http_user_agent ~* (AHrefs|Baidu|Morfeus|ZmEu|Baiduspider|Jullo|Yandex|Sogou|Baidu) ) {
        return 444;
     }
   
            try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$uri&$args;
            index index.php index.html index.htm;

location ~ \.php$ {
   try_files $uri =404;
   fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
   include fastcgi_params;
   fastcgi_index index.php;
   fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        }

In a nutshell for my base... but you have to have the fastcgi_params also configured.

I used the default one provided by XenForo – any idea why that wouldn't work though? I kept getting a [failed] to restart when I pasted it in the bottom of the config, where I assume it should be pasted ...

What is the complete error?
