Flarum instance in a subfolder doesn't work.

luceos

[deleted] please post the full nginx configuration file as it currently exists.

luceos Do i apply changes to the nginx config after doing this? https://flarum.org/docs/install.html#customizing-paths

Because i moved everything in public and edited the files.

[deleted]

Anyway here is the nginx config.

    server_name xxxx.net www.xxxx.net;
    return 301 https://www.xxxx.net$request_uri;

[deleted] you have two different location blocks handling PHP files. That doesn't seem correct (location ~* ^/forum/(.*)\.php$ and location ~ \.php$)

Is the error message still the same after your various changes ?

EDIT: for reference below is a working configuration I'm using. It doesn't use a public folder (so no alias, but need to follow the "customizing paths" instructions of Flarum

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

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

location ~* ^/forum/(composer\.(json|lock)|config\.php|flarum|storage|vendor|workbench) {
    deny all;
    return 404;
}

[deleted]

clarkwinkelmann Oh so this config needs me to move everything out of public?

luceos

[deleted] you should stop moving everything and start with fixing the vhost file first. Having moved it back to public did not solve anything, it only makes the solution harder. Never bring antyhing further out of balance if you haven't restored balance.

[deleted]

luceos Sorry. i am just trying to get my forum back online. I know just as much as you do.

[deleted]

luceos That is the config i used before. (Before moving to a subfolder)

    listen [::]:80 ipv6only=on default_server;
    server_name xxxx.net www.xxxx.net;
  	return 301 https://xxxx.net$request_uri;
}

server {
	listen 443;
	server_name xxxx.net www.xxxx.net;
	index index.php index.html index.htm;
	root /var/www/html/forums/public;

	ssl on;
    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/xxxx.net/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/xxxx.net/privkey.pem;

    location ~ \.php$ {
        include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock;
        include         fastcgi_params;
        auth_basic "Restricted Content";
        auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;
    }
    
    location = /sitemap.xml { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string; }
    include /var/www/html/forums/.nginx.conf;
}

Hello, so update, @askvortsov helped me a bit. It seems like my nginx config was broken. So he sended me a new one.
This: https://hastebin.com/ifomumoyab.hs

We got the forum back online and i could see the front page, but login in and opening a thread did not work.
It just said "Resource not found"
So he was thinking that it cant load the assets correctly.

Could someone help me to resolve this issue?

luceos

Try this:

location /forum {
      alias /var/www/html/xxxxx.net/forum;
      try_files $uri $uri/ /forum/index.php$is_args$args;

I am not entirely sure why all those additional rules are necessary if Flarum is installed in that subfolder.

[deleted]

luceos Gives me a 404 not found.

luceos

Thanks for your patience Lukas. I think the best thing to do right now is to get someone to look at your server directly.

[deleted]

luceos Why would that be a issue? Ive provided everything related to flarum and nginx.
This flarum instance was running before moving to a subfolder.

askvortsov

[deleted] Nginx tends to be a bit more iffy than Apache with respect to subdirectory mapping, especially if your site isn't running in docker or something (you might want to consider trying thst btw)

[deleted]

Thanks a lot to @askvortsov, he helped me to resolve this issue. I was waiting over a month, hopeless. But then the MVP @askvortsov came 😃
