I have a problem with my Nginx configuration. I have 2 servers, one with nginx and one with my webApp in symfony3. Here is my configuration :
location /portal/mysite/ {
set $frontRoot /srv/data/apps/mysite-portal-stag/current/web;
set $sfApp app.php; # Change to app.php for prod or app_dev.php for dev
root /srv/data/apps/mysite-portal-stag/current/web;
rewrite ^/portal/mysite/(.*)$ /$1 break;
try_files $uri @sfFront;
}
location @sfFront {
root /srv/data/apps/mysite-portal-stag/current/web;
fastcgi_pass myserver:myport;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $frontRoot/$sfApp;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME /portal/mysite/$sfApp;
}
The webSite work for all the php scripts but all the assets (static files) are broken files. I don't understand enough how Nginx works to indicate what are the static files and "tell" my proxy that they aren't script.
The try_files
directive automatically tries to find static files, and serve them as static, prior to giving up, and letting the request be served as a script.
http://nginx.org/r/try_files
Checks the existence of files in the specified order and uses the first found file for request processing; the processing is performed in the current context. The path to a file is constructed from the file parameter according to the root and alias directives. It is possible to check directory’s existence by specifying a slash at the end of a name, e.g. “$uri/”. If none of the files were found, an internal redirect to the uri specified in the last parameter is made.
Note that although you're already using try_files
, it appears that perhaps your path handling isn't up to spec.
As for your own answer with a temporary solution, there's nothing wrong with using a rewrite or two, but that said, it looks like you'd benefit from the alias
directive.
http://nginx.org/r/alias
Defines a replacement for the specified location.
However, you've never explained why you're serving stuff out of /tmp
. Note that /tmp
is often automatically cleared by some cron
scripts, e.g., on OpenBSD, the /etc/daily
script would automatically find
and remove files older than about 7 days (on a daily
basis, as the name suggests).
In summary, you should first figure out what is the appropriate mapping between the web view of the filesystem and your filesystem.
Subsequently, if a prefix is found, just use a separate location
for the assets, together with alias
.
Else, figure out the paths for try_files
to work as intended.
I have find a very ugly solution until anyone find a better solution, here is what I have done :
Here is my new config :
location /portal/mysite/ {
set $frontRoot /srv/data/apps/mysite-portal-stag/current/web;
set $sfApp app.php;
root /srv/data/apps/mysite-portal-stag/current/web;
rewrite ^/portal/mysite/(.*)$ /$1 break;
try_files $uri @sfFront;
}
location /portal/mysite/asset {
root /tmp/mysite/asset;
rewrite ^/portal/mysite/asset/(.*)$ /$1 break;
}
location @sfFront {
set $frontRootWeb /srv/data/apps/mysite-portal-stag/current/web;
root /srv/data/apps/mysite-portal-stag/current/web;
fastcgi_pass myAdressWeb:myPort;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $frontRoot/$sfApp;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME /portal/mysite/$sfApp;
}
And now it's working, all the js/css and pictures are found.
If anyone think about a "cleaner" answer, he is more than welcome to answer.
