Nginx rewrite does NOT work

xiangzhai

If rewrite location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string; } suggested as http://flarum.org/docs/installation/
the index page is totally blank, so I simply comment this line, then flarum is ok!

xiangzhai so I simply comment this line, then flarum is ok!

That is wrong!!! if comment the location / the logout is not able to work!
so how to fix the blank page issue?

Do you have your Flarum in a subdirectory?

xiangzhai

jordanjay29 yes, when I reset Nginx`s root, not subdirectory, it worked ;-)
but it is better to support subdirectory rewrite, developers like it - http://localhost/flarum, and phpbb3 support that ;-P

It is supported, our installation instructions are simply configured for root directory. Here's what you do for a subdirectory:

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