I want to make Zend Framework 2 application to run within Nginx server. I could access the homepage, but I could not access any other modules. I found that Nginx needs a rewrite rule to access the URL such as domain/album. The question is how to convert the default .htaccess
rules of Zend Framework 2 to Nginx rewrite rule?
Here are the .htaccess
rules:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}::$1 ^(/.+)(.+)::\2$
RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=BASE:%1]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{ENV:BASE}index.php [NC,L]
You really do not need any rewrite rules to make Nginx and ZF2 to play nice together. Here is a very simple Nginx configuration which I use:
server {
listen *:80;
server_name DOMAIN;
# Character Set
charset utf-8;
# Logs
access_log /vhosts/DOMAIN/logs/access_log main;
error_log /vhosts/DOMAIN/logs/error_log;
# Directory Indexes
index index.php;
# Document Root
root /vhosts/DOMAIN/public;
# Location
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
}
# Error Pages
error_page 404 /404.html;
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
# PHP-FPM Support
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/usr/local/etc/php-fpm/DOMAIN.sock;
include fastcgi.conf;
}
# Block access to .htaccess
location ~ \.htaccess {
deny all;
}
}
Of course change the paths to your current setup. Since you did not mention what type of PHP installation you are using I can't help you there because I am currently using PHP-FPM.
Using this very simple setup all my modules are working as expected. For example I could visit http://example.com/some/url OR http://example.com/index.php/some/url
Nginx also has a simple configuration for ZF http://wiki.nginx.org/Zend_Framework#Time_for_nginx
Edit 1 - Added fastcgi_params config
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI $request_uri;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_URI $document_uri;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $document_root;
fastcgi_param SERVER_PROTOCOL $server_protocol;
fastcgi_param HTTPS $https if_not_empty;
fastcgi_param GATEWAY_INTERFACE CGI/1.1;
fastcgi_param SERVER_SOFTWARE nginx/$nginx_version;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $remote_addr;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_PORT $remote_port;
fastcgi_param SERVER_ADDR $server_addr;
fastcgi_param SERVER_PORT $server_port;
fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name;
# PHP only, required if PHP was built with --enable-force-cgi-redirect
fastcgi_param REDIRECT_STATUS 200;
To follow up on Diemuzi's answer.
Please remember, that if you want query parameters to be working in your application, you have to pass them along with try_files
Best way i found is to use both $is_args
and $args
. $is_args
sets only a question mark if there is arguments, and $args
pass the query arguments.
Replace
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
with
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
Now you can use query params as normally in your ZF2 application for example in a default controller
$query_params = $this->params()->fromQuery();
