Question

How do I add a Wordpress Install to "/blog" on my server when "/" serves a different app via NGINX?

Posted June 16, 2017 6.7k views

I have a Django app served at “domain.com/”
I want to serve a Wordpress install from “domain.com/blog” so that I can enable SSL for both.

All I ever get is a 404 not found on the “/blog” entry. My NGINX conf file is shown below.

server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
servername domain.org www.domain.org;
return 301 https://$servername$request_uri;
}

server {

# SSL configuration
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name www.domain.org domain.org;
include snippets/ssl-domain.org.conf;
include snippets/ssl-params.conf;

access_log /home/user/logs/nginx/nginx-access.log;
error_log  /home/user/logs/nginx/nginx-error.log;

client_max_body_size 4G;

root /home/user/app;

keepalive_timeout 5;

location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }

location /static {
    alias /home/user/app/static;
}


location /uploads {
    alias /home/user/uploads;
}

error_page 500 502 503 504 /500.html;
location = /500.html {
    alias /home/user/app/app/app/templates;
}

location / {
    include proxy_params;
    proxy_pass http://unix:/home/user/app/mosaic.sock;
}

location ~ /.well-known {
    allow all;
}

location /blog {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}

}

To round this out, I’m posting the solution for prosperity. Even though @hansen didn’t post the final solution, they were crucial to figuring this out.

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    server_name domain.org www.domain.org;
    return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}

server {

    # SSL configuration

    listen 443 ssl http2;
    listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
    server_name www.domain.org domain.org;
    include snippets/ssl-domain.org.conf;
    include snippets/ssl-params.conf;

    access_log /home/user/logs/nginx/nginx-access.log;
    error_log  /home/user/logs/nginx/nginx-error.log;

    client_max_body_size 4G;

    root /home/user;

    keepalive_timeout 5;

    location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }

    location /static {
        alias /home/user/app/static;
    }


    location /uploads {
        alias /home/user/uploads;
    }

    error_page 500 502 503 504 /500.html;
    location = /500.html {
        alias /home/user/app/app/app/templates;
    }

    location / {
        include proxy_params;
        proxy_pass http://unix:/home/user/app/app.sock;
    }

    location ~ /.well-known {
        allow all;
    }

    location ^~ /blog {

        index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
        try_files $uri $uri/ /blog/index.php$is_args$args;

        location ~ \.php$ {
            include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
            fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
        }
    }
}

Hi @dave0ca67299bda3400d468baf

Try changing your bottom location block to this (I’m guessing php7.0-fpm is installed):

location ^~ /blog {
  try_files $uri $uri/ /blog/index.php$is_args$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
  include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
  fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
}

    That’s a good update and led me down a path to fix a few other things, but it’s still just displaying a 404.

      @dave0ca67299bda3400d468baf
      Can you generate the 404 error and then run this command to show the error log:

      tail -20 /home/user/logs/nginx/nginx-error.log

        Ok. Seems to be working a little better. Now it’s downloading the file. For instance, the info.php test will download the file not render the PHP.

          Can you post your entire server block. Not sure why it’s not working.

@davemerwin
Okay, let’s try this instead - I don’t have an active test box to play with right now:

    location /blog/ {
        alias /home/user/blog;
        index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;

        location ~ \.php$ {
            include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
            fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
        }
    }

    That is getting me closer. Now I’m getting “No input file specified.” in the browser and this is the error:

    2017/06/19 14:23:12 [error] 11837#11837: *635 FastCGI sent in stderr: "Unable to open primary script: /home/user/blog/blog/info.php (No such file or directory)" while reading response header from upstream, client: XX.XXX.XX.XXX, server: www.domain.org, request: "GET /blog/info.php HTTP/2.0", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock:", host: "domain.org"

    So,clearly I have a redundant “blog” somewhere!
