A lot of puzzling questions.

As with Beta 7, I installed Nginx, MySQL5.7, PHP7.2 on a new CentOS7.
I created a new virtual host, cd went to XXX.com folder, and then ran Composer to install Flarum, there is no problem, good.
I found that the installation instructions said there was a.nginx.conf file, but I didn't find it.
I opened the https://github.com/flarum/flarum/ and found .nginx.conf .
I downloaded .nginx.conf to VPS.
I continue to read the installation instructions, "Then, ininatyou have a PHP site set up within Nginx, add the following to your server's configuration block:".
I didn't understand this, so I skipped it because the script I used to install Nginx had a default configuration and worked fine on beta7.
And then I chown www -R /data/wwwroot/xxx.com, and then open the browser to access web site, web site showed 403, I type in the url /public, installation page load out, I input information, installation, good.
When I entered the Administration, the web page showed File not found.
I opened the public folder and found that there was no admin folder.
And now I can't find a solution to the problem.

kami I don't know much about nginx, but the rewrite rules need to be pointing to the /public folder, you shouldn't have to enter /public in the address bar.

code-red whats this /public you are mentioning. I am also on nginx and am also having 403 errors after the update...

MikeJones His rewrite rules aren't set up, so he has to type /public to load the right folder. Nginx should automatically rewrite to the /public folder.

.htaccess ? and config.php ?
'url' => 'http://localhost/Flarum/public',

I'm just beginning to setup Flarum for the very first time (the database isn't installed yet) but I have some experience with Nginx and I can share my configuration files here.

This configuration works on my test platform (Lubuntu 18.04) and on my workstation (FreeBSD), except the MySQL part for the moment, obviousy (which will connect using a local socket). I have used the .nginx.conf file provided by Flarum with little modification, but I will see whether it can be optimized.

Please modify the files according to your installation (directories, etc) and server name (which needs to be resolvable). Also, the root directory must be given to the user running the Ngnix daemon (www-data in this case).

I suggest to split the configuration into 2 parts:

/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
/etc/nginx/nginx.d/sites.conf

The first file contains directives common to all sites ("servers" in Ngnix parlance, similar to Apache "virtual hosts"), and the second contains the individual directives of the sites.

Hope that this helps.

# /etc/nginx/nginx.conf user www-data www-data; worker_processes 1; pid /var/run/nginx.pid; events { worker_connections 1024; } http { charset utf-8; index index.html; include mime.types; default_type application/octet-stream; log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request"' '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer"' '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"'; error_log /var/log/nginx-error.log; access_log /var/log/nginx-access.log main; gzip on; sendfile on; merge_slashes on; keepalive_timeout 75 20; client_max_body_size 50M; upstream php7 { server unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock; } include nginx.d/sites.conf; }

Then

#/etc/nginx/nginx.d/sites.conf server { listen 80; root /var/www/flarum/public; server_name flarum.yourdomain.com; error_log /var/log/nginx/flarum-error.log; access_log /var/log/nginx/flarum-access.log main; location / { index index.php; try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string; } location ~* \.(?:manifest|appcache|html?|xml|json)$ { add_header Cache-Control "max-age=0"; } location ~* \.(?:rss|atom)$ { add_header Cache-Control "max-age=3600"; } location ~* \.(?:jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|cur|gz|svg|mp4|ogg|ogv|webm|htc)$ { add_header Cache-Control "max-age=2592000"; access_log off; } location ~* \.(?:css|js)$ { add_header Cache-Control "max-age=31536000"; access_log off; } location ~* \.(?:ttf|ttc|otf|eot|woff|woff2)$ { add_header Cache-Control "max-age=2592000"; access_log off; } location ~ \.php$ { try_files $uri =404; fastcgi_pass php7; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; include fastcgi_params; } gzip on; gzip_comp_level 5; gzip_min_length 256; gzip_proxied any; gzip_vary on; gzip_types application/atom+xml application/javascript application/json application/ld+json application/manifest+json application/rss+xml application/vnd.geo+json application/vnd.ms-fontobject application/x-font-ttf application/x-web-app-manifest+json application/xhtml+xml application/xml font/opentype image/bmp image/svg+xml image/x-icon text/cache-manifest text/css text/plain text/vcard text/vnd.rim.location.xloc text/vtt text/x-component text/x-cross-domain-policy; }
