I am still unable to find a way to configure correctly my nginx server so that the urls of my website get rewrited the way I want it. It seems so easy (and it was, on my apache server), but I can't figure out where the problem is.
What I am trying to do is simple:
Have the browser display: "/portfolio/project/projectname"
while passing to server "/portfolio/project.php?project=projectname"
Here is my nginx custom.conf file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name remitod.com www.remitod.com;
root /var/www/html/remitod/;
error_page 404 errors/404.html;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
rewrite ^/$ /portfolio last;
rewrite ^/contact /contact.php last;
#
# Here is the line in question
#
rewrite ^/portfolio/project/(.+)$ /portfolio/project.php?project=$1 last;
location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|html)$ {
access_log off;
expires max;
}
location ~ \.php(.*)$ {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
Right now, this is giving me a 500 error;
I tried changing the "last" at the end of my rewrite rule by "break", and what it does is it makes me download the php file!
Thank you for your help!
So actually my nginx conf was right, I activated the error log as follows, and saw that it was a php error...
error_log /var/log/remitod.error.log;

I have an angularJS web app running in a Nginx server that sends request to a Rails API running in a Puma server. I have integrated Sidekiq 5.2.8 and everything works great but the Sidekiq web interface.
In my Nginx config file, I have a rule to pass request to the API. Please find the whole nginx.conf document:
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
upstream api.development {
# Path to Puma SOCK file, as defined previously
server unix:/tmp/puma.sock fail_timeout=0;
}
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
sendfile on;
keepalive_timeout 65;
# set client body size to 10M #
client_max_body_size 10M;
gzip on;
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
#charset koi8-r;
#access_log logs/host.access.log main;

index index.html index.htm;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html =404;
# Proxy requests to the backoffice Rails API
location /api {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

proxy_redirect off;
rewrite ^/api(.*) /$1 break;
proxy_pass http://api.development;
}
# Rule to proxy the sidekiq web UI

}

location ~* \.(?:jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|cur|gz|svg|svgz|mp4|ogg|ogv|webm|htc)$ {

}
# This rule is the root cause of the problems with the sidekiq css

location ~* \.(?:css|js)$ {
add_header X-debug-message "Into the location css" always;
if ($uri !~* "^/sidekiq/\w*(.*)+$") {
add_header X-debug-message "Into the location css if" always;

expires 1w;
add_header Cache-Control "public";
}
}
# cache.appcache, your document html and data
location ~* \.(?:manifest|appcache|html?|xml|json)$ {
root /Users/Rober/Projects/domain/dev/domain/app;
expires -1;
}
}
include servers/*;
}
In Rails:
routes:
require 'sidekiq/web'
mount Sidekiq::Web => '/sidekiq'
I have included next rule in Nginx config file and now when I request http://localhost/sidekiq I can see the web interface and navigate, but still cannot see the styles.
location /sidekiq {
proxy_pass http://api.development;
}
See screenshot.
The dev tools shows that when I load sideqik is trying to get bootstrap.css and some other css and javascript in http://localhost/sidekiq/stylesheets/bootstrap.css
What am I missing?
UPDATE:
I have found out the root cause of the problem in my nginx.conf. I have next rule that set a cache expiration time for performance purposes. If I comment this code, everything works. But how can I have both things living together?
CSS and Javascript
location ~* \.(?:css|js)$ {
root /Users/Rober/Projects/domain/dev/domain/app;
expires 1w;
add_header Cache-Control "public";
}
UPDATE 2: Just in case the problem comes from another point, I have included my whole nginx conf.
Now, with the provided config, the expiration rules in my web app are still working, but the css in the sidekiq webapp do not.
I have included two headers as debug. One when the server is accessing the location rule and the second when the server is accessing inside the if condition. When I request my home page with localhost and I check the request for my own css, such as app.css, I can see the header X-debug-message: Into the location css if, which is right.
If I request sidekiq with localhost/sidekiq I still get 404 error for css, let´s say http://localhost/sidekiq/stylesheets/bootstrap.css and I can see the header X-debug-message: Into the location css.
Current conclusions:
As soon as I include the location ~* .(?:css|js)$ rule, sidekiq css stops working. Even if the rule is empty, like:
location ~* \.(?:css|js)$ {
}
As soon as I delete or comment the whole rule, the sidekiq css works perfectly, but unfortunately this is not compatible with the expires rules that we need to include for performance purposes.
Try this:
location ~* \.(?:css|js)$ {
if ($uri !~* "^/sidekiq/\w*(.*)+$"){
root /Users/Rober/Projects/domain/dev/yanpy/app;
expires 1w;
add_header Cache-Control "public";
}
}
I wasn't able to find a fix for this, so I hacked it with the following method: I copied sidekiq's assets to the public folder and it started working ( since they're referenced by the UI ).
|- images
|-- favicon.io
|-- logo.png
|-- status.png
|- javascripts
|-- application.js
|-- dashboard.js
|- stylesheets
|-- application.css
|-- application-rtl.css
|-- application-dark.css
|-- application-rtl.min.css
|-- bootstrap.css
Mainly, these files: https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq/tree/master/web/assets
I'm using just Rails straight with Nginx (no apache), and wondering if I even need the following in my virtual hosts:
# serve static content directly
location ~* \.(ico|jpg|gif|png|css|js|swf|html)$ {
if (-f $request_filename) {
expires max;
break;
}
}
Is it even relevant if I'm not using Apache?
Thanks in advance.
Since you are using Rails, probably the only config you need is just:
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
location / {
root path/to/static/files;
try_files $uri #rails;
expires max;
}
location #rails {
# proxy_pass to gunicorn or whatever...
}
}
But it is always better to keep all media files in a separate directory:
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.org;
location / {
# proxy_pass to gunicorn or whatever...
}
location /media/ {
root path/to/static/files;
try_files $uri #rails;
expires max;
}
}
Leave ugly and complicated rules like:
location ~* \.(ico|jpg|gif|png|css|js|swf|html)$`
to PHP-folks. They usually have a mess of code and media in their projects and like programming in web-server configs instead of doing all the application logic in application.
This if is meaningless and just wasting of your cpu.
From documentation:
Enables or disables adding or modifying the “Expires” and “Cache-Control” response header fields provided that the response code equals 200, 201, 204, 206, 301, 302, 303, 304, or 307.
# http://nginx.org/r/expires
Do you see 404 here? I do not.
Stops processing the current set of ngx_http_rewrite_module directives.
# http://nginx.org/r/break
And I see no other rewrite directives in your location.
This directive tells nginx to set the expires header to largest possible value and to stop processing further directives when requested file ends with one of those extensions and exists. Those files will be served by nginx. This is valid directive whether you use apache or not. You don't have to use it, but you better do because nginx is very good at serving static files.
Update
As other people pointed out, you should avoid using if. You can do this by:
location ~* \.(ico|jpg|gif|png|css|js|swf|html)$ {
try_files $uri =404;
expires max;
}
if you want to do special processing, use named locations:
location ~* \.(ico|jpg|gif|png|css|js|swf|html)$ {
try_files $uri #process_404;
expires max;
}
location #process_404{
# do your stuff
}
I am trying to use the HTTP_IF_MODIFIED_SINCE header in my app to determine if resources are stale/fresh and render 200/304 in those cases.
In my dev environment everything works fine but I can't for the life of me get it to work in production.
I am using Passenger 3.0.11 and Nginx 1.0.13.
As you see below, I tried proxy_pass_header, proxy_set_header, passenger_pass_header and passenger_set_cgi_param. The last one actually sets a HTTP_IF_MODIFIED_SINCE header but it is empty...
Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated!
My config:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
root /home/rails/myapp/current/public;
passenger_enabled on;
charset utf-8;
proxy_pass_header If-Modified-Since;
proxy_set_header If-Modified-Since $http_if_modified_since;
passenger_pass_header If-Modified-Since;
passenger_set_cgi_param HTTP_IF_MODIFIED_SINCE $http_if_modified_since;
if (-f $document_root/system/maintenance.html) {
rewrite ^(.*)$ /system/maintenance.html break;
}
location ~ \.(aspx|jsp|cgi)$ {
return 410;
}
location ~ ^/(assets)/ {
# http://guides.rubyonrails.org/asset_pipeline.html#server-configuration
# gzip_static on;
expires 1y;
add_header Cache-Control public;
add_header Last-Modified "";
add_header ETag "";
break;
}
}
to get it working with non-standard headers, containing underscores, do this inside your http or server block in the nginx.conf file:
underscores_in_headers on;
ignore_invalid_headers off;
and in the server block:
proxy_pass_header HTTP_IF_MODIFIED_SINCE
This can be useful if you have legacy HTTP headers which you need to deal with, and which contain underscores.
This was a user error after all. I sent the header to the app in the wrong format (IF_MODIFIED_SINCE instead of If-Modified-Since). After fixing that, it worked without any of the extra directives.
I'm trying to migrate to nginx from Apache using Passenger in both instances to host a Rails app. The app takes a request, which is for an image- if the image exists at /system/logos/$requestedimage then it should get served, or it should be allowed to hit the Rails app to generate it if needed (where it is then cached to /system/logos).
In Apache I used the following:
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/system/logos/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://assets.clg.eve-metrics.com/system/logos/$1
This worked fine. The assets. subdomain is another subdomain but with the same root, just Passenger disabled, specifically set up for hosting static files (expires-wise).
In nginx I am using the following:
server {
listen 80;
passenger_enabled on;
server_name clg.eve-metrics.com www.clg.eve-metrics.com;
root /opt/www/clg/current/public;
gzip on;
gzip_min_length 1000;
gzip_proxied expired no-cache no-store private auth;
gzip_types text/plain application/xml text/css application/javascript;
gzip_disable msie6;
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
}
if (-f $document_root/system/logos$request_filename) {
rewrite ^/(.*)$ http://assets.clg.eve-metrics.com/system/logos/$1 break;
}
}
This doesn't work so well. At all, in fact. It never redirects to the cached path and it never hits the Rails app. It's like nginx is assuming it's a static asset so not passing it on to Passenger. Is there a way to stop this behaviour so it hits the app?
My rails application is running on nginx and passenger. I have moved my rails cache directory from the default /public to /public/system/cache/. To make it work, I had to insert this into my vhost config file:
if (-f $document_root/system/cache/$uri/index.html) {
rewrite (.*) /system/cache/$1/index.html break;
}
if (-f $document_root/system/cache/$uri.html) {
rewrite (.*) /system/cache/$1.html break;
}
I remember that I too tried to make it work with $request_filename, but didn't get it to work. Try with $uri instead and see if it works :-)
James, please try this configuration file
https://gist.github.com/711913
and pay attention on this location config:
location ~* \.(png|gif|jpg|jpeg|css|js|swf|ico)(\?[0-9]+)?$ {
access_log off;
expires max;
add_header Cache-Control public;
}
passenger won't let Rails to manage your assets files if you have right permissions (user run nginx should has permissions to access to file directly)
I upload images to my App using Ajax and an Iframe. In Development everything works like a charm. But in production Nginx suddenly raises a 404 error. When I look into the log, the request never hits the Rails app. So I guess it has something to do with my Nginx configuration (maybe gzip compression).
The failing requests is send to "/images.js".
Any ideas on how to solve this? Google couldn't help me...
My Nginx config:
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.myapp.de;
root /var/www/apps/myapp/current/public; # <--- be sure to point to 'public'!
passenger_enabled on;
rails_env production;
# set the rails expires headers: http://craigjolicoeur.com/blog/setting-static-asset-expires-headers-with-nginx-and-passenger
location ~* \.(ico|css|js|gif|jp?g|png)(\?[0-9]+)?$ {
expires max;
break;
}
gzip on;
gzip_http_version 1.0;
gzip_vary on;
gzip_comp_level 6;
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_types text/plain text/html text/css application/json application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;
# make sure gzip does not lose large gzipped js or css files
# see http://blog.leetsoft.com/2007/7/25/nginx-gzip-ssl

# this rewrites all the requests to the maintenance.html
# page if it exists in the doc root. This is for capistrano?^?^?s
# disable web task
if (-f $document_root/system/maintenance.html) {
rewrite ^(.*)$ /system/maintenance.html last;
break;
}
# Set the max size for file uploads to 10Mb
client_max_body_size 10M;
error_page 500 502 503 504 /500.html;
location = /500.html {
root /var/www/apps/myapp/current/public;
}
}
nginx will serve the request for /images.js from your root /var/www/apps/myapp/current/public since it matches
location ~* \.(ico|css|js|gif|jp?g|png)(\?[0-9]+)?$ {
expires max;
break;
}
(the break directive only applies to rewrite rules afaik so it can be removed)
If you want to serve /images.js from rails you need to enable rails for that location.
It's worth noting that any .json requests will get caught if you use the regex above. Add a $ to avoid that.
location ~* \.(ico|css|js$|gif|jp?g|png)(\?[0-9]+)?$ {
expires max;
break;
}
For this purpose I use this location directives:
location ~* ^.+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|css|swf|ico|mov|flv|fla|pdf|zip|rar|doc|xls)$
{
expires 12h;
add_header Cache-Control private;
}
location ~* ^/javascripts.+\.js$
{
expires 12h;
add_header Cache-Control private;
}
I ran into a very similar issue, and put format.json instead of format.js - this made a URL that had a .json extension, but allowed me to not modify my Nginx config.
