Laravel 5.4 new project nginx redirecting to 404 on every route except index

Question

I’m setting up new Laravel 5.4 project on a Ubuntu 16.04.3 x64 nginx machine. The index page works fine but when i try using any other route it takes me to a 404 page. In my development environment, the routes are working fine. I’m guessing it has to do with my server setup.

Below is my information for the server:

server {
        listen 80;
        listen [::]:80;

        root /var/www/dev.drmanansala.com/public;

        index index.php index;

        server_name dev.drmanansala.com;

        error_page 404 /404page.php;

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

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

        location ~ /\.ht {
                deny all;
        }

    listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/dev.drmanansala.com/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/dev.drmanansala.com/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
    include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot

    if ($scheme != "https") {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    } # managed by Certbot
}

Hello,

According to the official Laravel documentation the correct default configuration should be:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com;
    root /example.com/public;

    add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
    add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block";
    add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff";

    index index.html index.htm index.php;

    charset utf-8;

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

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

    error_page 404 /index.php;

    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }

    location ~ /\.(?!well-known).* {
        deny all;
    }
}

As far as I can see you would need to adjust your PHP-FPM part a little bit to include the extra fastcgi rules.

Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
