Hi everyone,

I am having some difficulty with try_files under nginx. I followed this guide for setting up nginx with PHP and MySQL - https://www.linode.com/docs/websites/le ... n-7-wheezy

I have a Wordpress blog (in this post I have changed it to example.com for privacy reasons) and it looks like this:

server {
    listen   80;
    server_name www.example.com example.com;
    access_log /srv/www/example.com/logs/access.log;
    error_log /srv/www/example.com/logs/error.log;

    location / {
        root   /srv/www/example.com/public_html;
        index  index.html index.htm index.php;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
      try_files $uri =404;
        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /srv/www/example.com/public_html$fastcgi_script_name;
    }

}

Could anyone please tell me how the try_files should be? When I attempt to load the website it simply returns 404. I haven't used nginx in a few years thus any help would be kindly appreciated

Cheers

Helping you while you hide information is going to be like pulling teeth.

What is the domain that is actually experiencing this issue?

I do not see why you need the domain name - it is a simple wordpress setup and that is the config file as above

You also "don't see why" your site isn't working.

No one likes to play twenty-questions.

Is your website private? No? Then if it's public, what difference does it make if you list it here or not?

Security thru obscurity is a myth - and really really annoying.

You just need this inside the "location /" block:

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

I'm sorry you feel that way.



Thanks! It worked!
