Good point! The difficulty is that nginx server configuration must always be customized to your own server environment and own requirements.
Here an example of nginx configuration on Ubuntu 20.04:
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name mydomain.com;
root /www/novagallery;
index index.php;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
}
location ^~ /nova-config/ { deny all; }
location ^~ /nova-base/ { deny all; }
location ^~ /nova-languages/ { deny all; }
}
If you have novaGallery installed in a subfolder, then you need to adjust the paths.
It would be useful to include in the documentation the configuration for nginx (i.e. the equivalent entry to include in the sites-enabled default file, which I understood should include the rewrite information instead of the .htaccess file used by apache).
Being new to this, I used an online converter, which gave me the following:
nginx configuration by winginx.com
location ~ ^/photos/nova-config/.*$ { }
location ~ ^/photos/nova-base/.*$ { }
location ~ ^/photos/nova-languages/.*$ { }
location /photos/ { if (!-e $request_filename){ rewrite ^/photos/(.*) /photos/index.php break; } }
I included the above in the NGINX default file of the sites-enabled diectory, however it doesn't work. (I get a 403 Forbidden error when trying to access the photos directory). PHP itself is set up correctly, according to tests, and the php.info file loads OK under NGINX.
