NginX - php location block wrongfully takes request

Question

I have a php script to be executed outsite of my server root. As far as I read I need to define a location block with a different root to execute the php correctly.

Problem: NginX always takes the last php location block from my configuration and NOT the nested one under my location /de/forums nor the location /de/forums/(.+.php).

What am I doing wrong? How can I convince nginx to take a location block with the correct root defined?

As far as I understood the hierarchy - the more specific block should be used… please help!

server {
	listen 443 ssl http2;
	listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
	server_name domain.com;
	
	root /var/www/domain.com/html;
	index index.php;
	
	
	location ^~ /de/forums {
			root /var/www/domain.com/;
			#alias /var/www/domain.com/de/forums/;
		
			index index.php index.html index.htm;
			try_files $uri $uri/ /de/forums/index.php?$uri&$args;
						
						
				location ~* \.php(/|$) {
					fastcgi_pass  unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
					fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*)$;
					include fastcgi.conf;	
					fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
				}
	}
	
	location ^~ /de/forums/(.+\.php) { 
		root /var/www/domain.com/;     
		fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
		include fastcgi.conf;
		fastcgi_index  index.php;
		fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
	}	
	
		
		
	location / {
		try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
	}
	
	location ~ \.php$ {
		include fastcgi.conf;
		fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
		fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
		fastcgi_index index.php;
		
	}
	
}

Hi @ceo779382 , The issue is because the parent location is a regex location while the nested locations are prefix locations. You may only define nested prefix locations when the parent location is also a prefix location: location /a { location /a { # You can also skip this location and just write # your code directly under the parent location } location /a/b { ... } } When a parent location is defined by a regex, any nested locations must also be defined by regexes: location ~ ^/(a|b) { location ~ ^/a { ... } location ~ ^/b { ... } } However, you may also define nested regex locations when the parent location is a prefix location: location /a/b { location ~ /a { ... } location ~ /b { ... } } Hope that helps.
