Multiple apps on the same Nginx domain

Question

Good morning guys, I’m cracking my head here.

I have a server with Nginx and in it I have two applications:

1 - Laravel App /usr/share/Nginx/html/Laravel/public

2 - Joomla app /usr/share/Nginx/html/joomla

The application in Laravel is the main one that must be accessed in 'http://domain.com.br/' and joomla must be accessed at 'http://domain.com.br/former'.

Below follows the default configuration code:

server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80 ipv6only=on;

root /usr/share/nginx/html/laravel/public;
index index.php index.html index.htm default.html default.htm;

server_name 104.131.92.76;

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

location ~ /antigo/ {
    root /usr/share/nginx/html/joomla;
    index index.php index.html index.htm default.html default.htm;

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

location ~ \.php$ {
    try_files $uri /index.php =404;
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    include fastcgi_params;
}
}

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

On the line try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args; you are sending all the requisitions that give error in dominio.com.br/antigo/* for dominio.com.br/index.php from your other application. This is an easy-to-see error.

If you want to maintain optimal routing for both Joomla and Laravel (instead of keeping just one of them connected) on the same domain, it can be quite laborious to make it work.

Here is documentation on how to do this using Joomla at the root of the domain https://docs.joomla.org/Nginx
