Nginx wrong path for include file in CodeIgniter

Question

I’m adding new pages in CI (CodeIgniter 3) including footer, header and other .php files (made by CodeCharge Studio), CI pages (controllers) are running throw a /ci.php file and every thing runs well on Apache2.

As I’m also migrating on NginX, when I call /ci.php it goes well and when I call the same output but from /ci.php/pages/test_pages I get the body part of my page and errors occurs to my included files:

[error] 12165#0: *698 FastCGI sent in stderr: "Unable to open primary script: /Users/fedibelkacem/Documents/workspace/eMashq/ci.php/pages/ClientI18N.php (No such file or directory)" while reading response header from upstream, client: 127.0.0.1, server: emashq.fbe, request: "GET /ci.php/pages/ClientI18N.php?file=Functions.js&locale=en HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9000", host: "emashq.fbe:81", referrer: "http://emashq.fbe:81/ci.php/pages/test_pages"

NginX is looking for Clientl18N.php in the wrong place. It is in the root and as I said, on Apache, it runs well.

Here is my NginX VHost config file:

server { listen 81; server_name emashq.fbe; root /Users/fedibelkacem/Documents/workspace/eMashq; index index.php index.html; location / { # if I put /index.php, it forces /ci.php/pages/test_pages to call # /ci.php/pages/index.php and I get an other but the same type error # with No input file specified on the screen! try_files $uri $uri/ /ci.php; } location ~* \.php$ { fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; include fastcgi_params; } } # $config['index_page'] = 'ci.php'; // or = ‘’ in CI\applications\config.php # doesn’t make difference! 

Please help me find the right NginX conf to run my /ci.php/controller/etc.

See this document for a number of suggestions to solve the Passing Uncontrolled Requests to PHP problem.

The uri includes pathinfo that must be handled separately, and transmitted to the ci.php script. A common solution is to change your location definition to something like:

location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) { fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$; ... } 

See also this document. Not all implementations have the same directives listed in the fastcgi_params file. You will need to ensure that the necessary information is being passed to your controller.
