Hi,
i just moved my dyndns service from my apache2 server to my new nginx machine. While the service was working good on apache it didn´t on nginx.
The Fritzbox connects to my dyndns service via this link
http://dyn.myserver.co/myscript.php?pass=mypassword&meineip=<ipaddr>
Thats the script (myscript.php)
$pwort = 'mypassword';
$port = ':80';
$dyntxt = "my_IP.txt";
$pworttest = $_GET["pass"];
$IP = $_GET["meineip"];
if (file_exists($dyntxt)){if($pworttest==$pwort) { $a = fopen("$dyntxt", "w");
$dynamicip = $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];
fwrite($a, $IP);
fclose($a); }
else { $a = fopen("$dyntxt", "r+");
$dynamicip = fread($a,filesize($dyntxt));
fclose($a);
$url="http://".$dynamicip."".$port;
header("Location: $url");} }
?>
And here is my config for dyn.myserver.co on nginx:
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
root /var/www/dyn;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
server_name dyn.myserver.co;
location / {
try_files $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
error_page 404 /404.html;
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root /var/www/dyn;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
The IP which is written in my_IP.txt is copied to the DNS Server by cronjob. That is working. For example: On my apache server i called the dyndns URL (http://dyn.myserver.co/myscript.php) and was redirected to the IP which was filled in my_IP.txt. On nginx it just shows me the content of myscript.php.
I think it´s a problem with the nginx config. Can anybody help me?

Hi @r0g
Are you using DigitalOcean droplets? Or are you running Nginx on your home server?
Change this line in the Nginx config and restart Nginx service nginx restart:
try_files $uri/ /index.php?$args;
It should be change to this (I’m guessing you’re running WordPress too?):
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
If you don’t run WordPress or something like that, then change it to this:
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
@hansen Thats the output:

Ah ok no wordpress is running on another site not on dyn.
@r0g Please run the following to list all site configurations:
ls -ls /etc/nginx/sites-available/
ls -ls /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
If you’re using WordPress too on the same site, then the try_files should be this:
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
