The requested resource was not found.

Sibert

I have now managed to go one step further. But almost everything I want to do is causing an error "The requested resource was not found." I cannot even create a new user. Or log in from another browser.

What have I done wrong now? The database "flarum" is emty in MariaDB. Should it not be filled with some stuff?

https://forum.go4webdev.org
and https://forum.go4webdev.org/admin shows a 404 page.

In case the Nginx settings is the cause here is my default setting. (All discussions I have seen is about Apache)

server {
       root /var/www/flarum/public;
       index index.php index.html index.htm;
       server_name forum.go4webdev.org;
 
        location / {
            try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
        }
 
        location ~ \.php$ {
            include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
            fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock;
        }
}

and the config file in var/www/flarum/public

<?php return array (
  'debug' => false,
  'database' => 
  array (
    'driver' => 'mysql',
    'host' => 'localhost',
    'port' => 3309,
    'database' => 'flarum',
    'username' => 'sibert',
    'password' => '',
    'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
    'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
    'prefix' => '',
    'strict' => false,
    'engine' => NULL,
    'prefix_indexes' => true,
  ),
  'url' => 'https://forum.go4webdev.org',
  'paths' => 
  array (
    'api' => 'api',
    'admin' => 'admin',
  ),
  'headers' => 
  array (
    'poweredByHeader' => true,
    'referrerPolicy' => 'same-origin',
  ),
);

If you look at the nginx configuration that Flarum ships with, you can see it tries to hit index.php as a fallback. You might want to update your config or use the bundled nginx configuration:

https://github.com/flarum/flarum/blob/dd313752645cc997e05183a5255bd3477f368117/.nginx.conf#L3

Sibert server {
root /var/www/flarum/public;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
server_name forum.go4webdev.org;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }
 
    location ~ \.php$ {
        include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock;
    }

}

I mean this, the file you mentioned in your original post. You need to include the forum's .nginx.conf in your default config's server block: https://docs.flarum.org/install.html#url-rewriting

You should also remove the location / block from that default settings file.

luceos You might want to update your config or use the bundled nginx configuration:

Your enclosed link showed me this:

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

My current settings of .nginx.conf is:

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

What should I update from what to what?
What is "the bundled nginx configuration"?

Sibert

How do I get rid of this? Is this the fallback for index.php also?

askvortsov

Sibert it doesn't look like you're including the .nginx.conf file from your main nginx config file.

Here is the .nginx.conf file. Which what should be included where? What is the main nginx config file? Is it the "default" file? It seems like a riddle to me :-)

You men that the default file should look like this?
Will php fpm work then?

server {
       root /var/www/flarum/public;
       index index.php index.html index.htm;
       server_name forum.go4webdev.org;
 
    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }

  include /path/to/flarum/.nginx.conf;
 }

askvortsov

Sibert location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}

Remove this.

askvortsov location ~ .php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock;
}

Put this back

Sibert

askvortsov Practically never touched PHP and the PHP FPM did not make it easier. But finally it works! Thank You Indeed!

This code worked as expected:

server {
    root /var/www/flarum/public;
    index index.php index.html index.htm;
    server_name forum.go4webdev.org;
 
    location ~ \.php$ {
        include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock;
    }

    include /var/www/flarum/.nginx.conf;
}
