Hey Friends, I just tried to install Flarum on Nginx Only Server and I failed to do so...
Issue I found is with URL rewriting ....
simply including .nginx.conf in domain nginx.conf file give error "nginx: [emerg] "location" directive is not allowed here in /home/user/web/domain.tld/public_html/.nginx.conf:2
.nginx.conf
# Pass requests that don't refer directly to files in the filesystem to index.php
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
# Uncomment the following lines if you are not using a `public` directory
# to prevent sensitive resources from being exposed.
# location ~* ^/(\.git|composer\.(json|lock)|auth\.json|config\.php|flarum|storage|vendor) {
# deny all;
# return 404;
# }
